=== F-15 updates === | |||
The [[McDonnell Douglas F-15 Eagle]] has received updates to the flight dynamics, external texturing, cockpit audio warnings (voice and tone), external lighting and liveries. It was observed that the chosen fixed update rate for the Canvas instruments was taking a disproportionate amount of time, so a frame rate adaptive update for these elements has been added which improves things at lower frame rates. | |||

* Corrected stall warning tones, added over-g (OWS) warning tones and vocal warnings for OWS, Caution and fuel. | |||
