About This File
what started out as a flightmodel tweak soon took on a life of its own and became a lot more basically. What we have here is changes in the flight model so the Seahawk FB3/FGA4/FGA6 aircraft handling is a lot closer to whats described in the aircrew manual part 3 (handling) and while we had the book open part 6 (operating data) and one thing led to another and you have the result before you
i have adjusted the load out to be "realistic" and as in the manual so they respect the wieght limits, you can maually oveload if you wish but if you wish to fly "realistically" take fuel out to compensate for the extra wieght with a full load of rockets and fuel tanks...you cant partially fill them so if you drop your internal fuel to 75% the wieghts (and fuel) you will be right. The bomb/fuel pylons should be jettionable but i dont know the code for this yet so your aircraft state is pre-mod N.247 so you cant, so you keep the pylons on jettison for now. Others major changes are the FB3 has no rockets, the FGA4/6 rockets and load out now work correctly though visually the inner pair will appear too far inboard...this is a visual model thing and i may revisit this later to see if i can move them...unless someone beats me to it, hint hint.
There are signifcant changes to the handling but the most useful advice i will give is 110kts clean in landing config on the approach to put here on the carrier deck; heck even the AI can land it. Last but not least the hunter cockpit is used instead of the meteor cockpit.
You must have the SUEZ mod installed or at least the Seahawks with their default names from it
Simply drop the objects folder into your Mods folder in my documents or wherever you put your Strikefighter mods (SF2merged+exp1 for suez) and hopefully the relevent update files will install in the right place. Otherwise just go to the update folder, remove the 3 files for each aircraft you need and manually place them. As always back your files up FIRST before applying..if you dont like what ihave done you can then revert
As always credit goes to the original creators of the Seahawk, all i have done is alter some files...an update of the seahawk if you will
