SeaHawks over Suez update

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

 

thier are signifcant changes to the handling but the most usefull 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 thier

 

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 i

 

have 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
