180 lukedoria  7 months ago

E.D.I version 7.3!

EXPLOSIVE CANNON, UNBEATABLE MISSILES, FIXED AERODYNAMICS

NEW MISSILES WILL NEVER MISS A TARGET

Updated Weaponry:

  • Dual Mounted Explosive Cannon
  • 14x AIM-9X Sidewinder (Modded with long range and multi-role).

    • NEW MISSILES WILL NEVER MISS

    • Infinite Targeting angle, infinite speed, fuel time, adjustment angle, etc.

  • 6x AGM-65 Maverick Air to Ground Missile (360 degree targeting angle, takes
    out all three carriers in one shot at the beast).
  • Infinite Chaff and Flares.

Updated HUD data:

  • Fixed Mach counter (more accurate).
  • Added the AGM-65 Mavericks to "weaponry HUD" on the left.
  • Updated name for explosive cannon

Updated Performance:

  • UPDATED INFINITE HEALTH ON ALL PARTS
  • Fixed Aerodynamics and drag points so that the aircraft doesn't drop by itself
    now

    • The E.D.I used to pitch down by itself while cruising, this has been fixed.

    • It will now be able to maintain relatively perfect pitch, this works better at

      higher speeds and pitches upwards at lower speeds for landing

    • If E.D.I is still pitching down, it's because your landing gear is out.

  • Faster cruising speeds
  • at 100% throttle = about 2580 km/h
  • at 80% throttle = about 2350 km/h
  • at 50% throttle = about 1850 km/h
  • Improved airframe: maintains over 300 G pulls for more than a second before
    reducing speed and holding G's at about 170

About E.D.I:

E.D.I is the most advanced Air to Air, Air to Ground, and SEAD fighter in history. With a cruising speed of mach 2 and the ability to pull over 300 G turns while remaining above 1750 km/h, this aircraft can simply never be beaten from anything in the air or on the ground. The HUD displays provide the pilot with all information they need to navigate the skies, control this monster of a fighter, and win every battle.

Flight:

  • USE VTOL/LEFT SIDE FLAPS TO TAKE OFF
  • Using flaps for flight is much easier to control
    FOLLOW IN GAME INSTRUCTIONS

Craft Instructions:

TAKEOFF:

  1. Set flaps to 20% down (use HUD in cockpit view to see flap %)
  2. Set throttle to around 30% (can be higher if you'd like but 30% throttle will get you off the ground very quickly)
  3. Once contact with ground is lost, retract landing gear
  4. Set flaps to 0% (flat)

FLIGHT:
- Very powerful engine, 50% throttle will cruise at around 1820km/h
- Very agile fighter, be careful when pitching up and down.
- Using flaps to pitch is smoother and easier to control
- Cruise velocity at 100% throttle is about 2530km/h (Mach 2)
- Cruise velocity at 80% throttle is about 2200km/h
- Average velocity in combat or while turning is about 1800-2100km/h
- E.D.I's opposite cobra manouver: when in stable flight, tap 'w' quickly then hold 's' until the plane becomes balanced again, this slows airspeed
from over 1000 km/h all the way to 400km/h and the plane will perform an 'opposite cobra'
- Using cockpit view will give you a wide range of HUD information for combat and flight control

COMBAT:

  • Use 'R' to cycle between combat modes
  • 14x AIM-9X Sidewinder (Modded with long range and Multi Role, will never miss)
  • 6x AGM-65 Maverick (Air to Ground)
  • Dual mounted Explosive Cannons
  • Infinite Flares
  • Infinite Chaffs
  • Centre HUD will show you selected weapon and amount left
  • Right HUD will show you your target's distance, speed, and include a map of them relative to you
  • Bottom left HUD will show all weapon information including countermeasures and cannon rounds

If enemy is locked on to you, set throttle to 100% and do 2 quick flare fires then pull up 90 degrees. If enemy remains locked on, fire another 2 quick flares.

LANDING:

  1. Set throttle to 5%
  2. Extend landing gear at around 600km/h
  3. Once runway is lined up, set throttle to 0%
  4. Use flaps to control decent for smoothest landing
