Instead of closing to the 35° mid position at 125kt the aft-hinged lift-fan door now stays fully open at 65° to 170kt on take-off, & begins to open to 65° at 160kt on approach to landing....”<br />___________<br /><br />The four jet exhausts are controlled by computer in STOVL mode to provide aircraft control.

A suggestion when testing the F35B: in th...Hi all,<br /><br />A suggestion when testing the F35B: in the folder ...F35B/Panel/rcb-gauges/ there is a file "README STOVL.txt", that probably answers a lot of questions. Like the problem of non-working external throttle lever (in Hover mode, the F35B is on Autothrust), the request for a vertical cam, etc ...<br /><br />A few other notes:<br /><br />@Seth: as to landing speed: I can implement that in about 10 sec :)<br />The problem is the lack of real-world specs, which simply aren't available. Most of the stuff I implemented in the STOVL function, came from a guy that had some flight time in the LM simulator; but that's all rather fragmatic.<br />A good example of my lack of info: all instruction videos speak of "pressing a button on the throttle to quickly decel to a hover". But what does a "hover" mean:<br />- Zero airspeed ?<br />- Zero groundspeed relative to earth ?<br />- Zero groundspeed relative to a moving carrier you're trying to land on ?<br /><br />Untill "Mike", or a real testpilot, joins Flightsim forums, the answer on such questions will be educated guesswork for now I'm afraid.<br /><br />@Seth: as to the shaking in vertical landings: did you read previous post about the use of Accufeel ?<br />If that is what you are referring to, just disable Accusim while flying this F35B, and the problem is gone.<br />If it's not that problem, please provide additional info.<br /><br />@Jozef: See my STOVL README.<br />If you really want to hover at the exact same altitude with any forward/backward speed and lateral speeds, use the V/S-Hold function when the F35B is in a stable hover.<br />As to the max. hover weight: like the airspeeds above, it can easily be changed. It's now at 42000 lbs, but I don't have a spec. that gives me the correct values and conditions. <br /><br />@Danielle:<br />See README on the Vertical cam.<br />As to "...no effect on the manouvers": Sorry, I don't understand your remark. If you're in a hover, and descend by pushing the stick, thrust decreases obviously (because the F35B is on auto-thrust), but the nozzle rotation doesn't change. Unless there's substantial wind and you decend whilst also changing heading.<br /><br />@Egan:<br />- Startup "Seatbelt" sound: already removed in next version :)<br />- as to "physical throttle" and "FSX-throttle": see my STOVL README. The main problem is that FSX simply doesn't implement the real concept of "auto-thrust"; just "auto-throttle". And there's no way, I can command your physical throttle lever/wheel without sophisticated addon hardware. So no solution for that, sorry.<br />- As to the "low-pulsating sound": I don't experiance this; and it certainly isn't intentional.<br />- As to "being too stable or not":<br />Your guess on stability is as good as mine; I can only assume, even if there's no wind, that if a F35B hovers just above the ground, there WILL be some disturbance because of the downward airflow. In heading, pitch and bank. Which I tried to simulate.<br />- About an afterburner illuminating the ground in VTOL: yes, would look great, but would also be very irrealistic :) <br /><br /><br />Regards, RobRob Barendregtnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1343953541946550800.post-18604030675363393972012-06-03T23:29:33.661+02:002012-06-03T23:29:33.661+02:00@MISCELLANEOUS ANSWERS

It was decided to leave it as a separate window because it may have a significant hit on fps if integrated in the MFD.<br /><br />- F-35C CLEAN MODEL: f-35C model was a sort of "last minute addition"... it started as the main point of the new version, then it has been left out for modeling reasons. And then I found a suitable solution but it is quite inaccurate on the lower surface. External loads as defaults were added to mask those defects. I'll give it a go, but I can't promise anything.<br /><br />- DECLUTTER: may be a good idea...<br /><br />- FUEL DUMP EFFECT: afaik, it is there and working on all versions...ScimmiaSpazialehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04185511694079000055noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1343953541946550800.post-41385103299657513602012-06-03T23:14:03.087+02:002012-06-03T23:14:03.087+02:00@ALL

Hoping this works this time:<br /><br />1. Excellent models and texture maps! I checked all 3 variants in triplehead2go as well, internally and externally.<br /><br />2. Audio announcement about seatbelts etc. at beginning of flight - yes, do please try to remove this as it does detract from the experience.<br /><br />3. Micro oscillations in cockpit. For what it's worth, I read the note on this blog and I understand, but still, wish it could be fixed.<br /><br />4. I read this blog's note about the need for Visual C++ to make the hover work. Downloaded the 2010 SP1 version from Microsoft. Apparently, I only had the 2005 and 2008 versions which did not let the hover work.<br /><br />5. I like the implementation of the autohover. I think it's one of the best implementations (and I say that after having tried a number of autohover implementations). That said, here are some observations and reflections (but these are subjective).<br /><br />- When my physical throttle is pulled back from full to a middle (or zero) position, the in-cockpit virtual throttle snaps back to full throttle position. Oftentimes, the virtual throttle graphic flashes to and fro between the full and middle (or zero) positions, as does the external view of the exhaust nozzle's opening and closing. (And I've calibrated my CH throttle, so I've confirmed in the CH control manager that it isn't the throttle spiking). The aircraft can still hover vertically up/down with throttle at zero.<br /><br />- There is a brief low pulsating sound when the flight stick is moved forward or backward (to hover/move the aircraft vertically up/down). I don't know if the real aircraft has this, but it feels bothersome and distracting. Perhaps a different, more "aviation engine fan" sound?<br /><br />- Is the aircraft too stable when in hover? (I haven't found any youtube videos of in-cockpit with aircraft in hover mode to really <br />judge this well) I tried hovering in crosswinds and though the aircraft is blown/moved in the direction of the wind, it's very "smooth". That said, I feel I must add that I actually *do* like the stability because frankly, I'm not that good at landing the craft on the carrier in light crosswinds if it isn't stable the way it currently is.<br /><br />- Add a heat blur effect especially during hover?<br /><br />- turning on the lights with the L key also (very) briefly shows the fandust/groundeffect.<br /><br />- Is groundeffect/fandust too far forward of plane? (see pic <br />http://i153.photobucket.com/albums/s222/uses321/groundeffect.jpg)<br /><br />6. Should there be a dumping fuel effect? By the way, does dumping fuel (from, say right tank) affect the center of gravity of the plane and so require flight compensation? Doesn't seem so, and anyway, probably an unnecessary complication to the sim/enjoyment of the aircraft.<br /><br />7. Perhaps a clean model (without JDAMS etc.) for the F-35C to land <br />on carriers?<br /><br />8. contrails only on one side? (see pic <br />http://i153.photobucket.com/albums/s222/uses321/contrail1side.jpg). <br />Addendum - OK, this is odd: I can't repeat this issue, but am <br />reporting it just to be complete.<br /><br />9. the HUD (shift+1, shift+2) is neat! Unfortunately, it's stretched in triplehead2go (understandably).<br /><br />10. Would be really cool to have the afterburner illuminate the ground, but that's a wish, not a bug!<br /><br />Hope this is helpful,<br />EganEgannoreply@blogger.com
