A first public version of the L-159 ALCA (Advanced Light Combat Aircraft) has been released. The aircraft is still in alpha stage and fairly incomplete (there are some changes to the model planned, so no texturing yet, no cockpit instruments), but it already has many advanced and sometines unique features, most notably the disintegration animations.<br/> | |||
Some of the most important features include: | |||
* Unique model disintegration animation (video on the right, see details here: http://forum.flightgear.org/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=23681) | |||
* Cannons with realistic fire rate and tracers once every few rounds, visible/audible over MP (hit transmission is a work in progress) | |||
* Fully automated fuel system with automatic source switching and fuel level balancing | |||
* Carefully tuned lights including Rembrandt support, light intensity and flares fading in daylight. You may need to increase the Lights shader setting in order to see all effects with Rembrandt on. | |||
* Most payload options modeled, including optional experimental fixed fuel probe | |||
* I consider the FDM (YASim) almost complete and generally well tuned, handling changes a lot with heavy payload | |||
