Updated Prowler spec

49.9k Destroyerz117  3.6 years ago

Just forum post saying that I've released an updated version of my EA-6B Prowler, taking feedback I've updated the flight model to hopefully be more accurate.


>>New version can be downloaded here<<


For example the wing area is now about 530ft2 if you ignore structure panels and vertical stabilizers that don't actually contribute to the total but count towards it on the site etc.
The one thing I didn't base off the actual plane is the thrust, I couldn't get it to behave properly with drag and I figured it was better to have it behave like the real plane than have the same stat on paper so I based the thrust ratio off of IRL videos of take-off to get an idea on how fast it should be accelerating.
So the plane accelerates much slower and needs to ascend to higher altitudes to reach it's maximum speed. Hopefully I did this right.

I've also done a pass on the landing gear to be less bouncy and taxiing should be much easier with the slower acceleration.
Main thing is that I fixed was the slight auto-roll issue
by going through and disabling mass on EVERY.. SINGLE.. decal or asymmetric part on the plane ..

Also Engines now cut out if you pass the max service ceiling

and the jamming pods will actually spin, I've set it to spin when you select a target the speed they rotate at is dependent on how fast you're moving

Thanks for reading
