High-altitude world for WOE (for Foxbat and other AC)

High-altitude world

 

If you have found "Foxbat" without real use, that is because the bulk of activity in WOE happens under 3,000m/10,000ft altitude. In real world, aircraft fly at around 9-11,000m on longer missions, since the air make too much drag to the airframe at lower altitudes and engines use too much fuel to make a reasonable combat radius with payload.

 

To make (many) aircraft flying at this optimal cruise altitude, here is the "fix".

 

1. Go to the flight folder of your WOE installation;

2. Find missioncontrol.ini file. If there, make a backup. If not there, it has to be extracted from MissionData.cat file using SFP1 extract utility;

3. Under [Altitude] section, make the changes with text-editor (these are what I use):

 

Normal=11000

Low=1500

VeryLow=120

High=12500

VeryHigh=17250

 

You will get much more hi-alt combat with speed-altitude trade. It more closer to reality, and really efficient if you use Streakeagle's F-4B or other "heavy" modded aircraft, like Su-15TM that depends much of pilot's energy management.
