Simple F-15C [ACE002]

57.4k Whills  3 months ago

Introduction

Introducing the second aircraft in the Air Combat Evo (ACE) Series: the F-15C.

I’ve been working on this F-15C alongside the Su-27, which was released earlier, on and off since I first started playing the game in 2022. Now, you can fly two of the most iconic heavy fighters of the Cold War era.

Features

  • Sophisticated fly-by-wire controls simulated by Funky Trees code.
  • 1:1 scale with realistic flight performance.
  • Detailed VR cockpit featuring a custom HUD and user-friendly instruments.
  • Accurate landing gear animations. Demo video here.
  • Optimized for AI dogfights.
  • G limiter, AOA limiter and auto trim.
  • Mobile-friendly design with only 392 parts!

Instructions

AG1 Canopy
AG2 Airbrake
AG3 Tailhook
AG4 Lights
AG5 N/A
AG6 Drop Tank (Single click to drop center tank, double click to drop wing tanks.)
AG7 Jettison Weapons
AG8 Reduce Pitch Damper + Split Throttle

VTOL down Flaps
VTOL up Manual Intake Control

  • Afterburners will be activated when the throttle is above 95%.
  • The gun can be reloaded by pressing the Fire Weapons button while flying below 250 mph (400 kph) and under 1,000 ft (300 m) altitude.

    @cay7809 @SuperSuperTheSylph @Nahidwin172 I’ve just updated this plane and fixed the wobbling issue. For the best flight experience, I recommend setting the physics to medium or high.

    This guy is making some of the most realistic feeling and best looking flight models ive ever tried and deserves all the praise, though i cant help but ask for an F-14D.

    @cay7809 If you want to keep the autotrim function, you can try to reduce the damper until it no longer disrupts your normal flight. As you can see the expression of the "stabControl" (damper) is 0.01*clamp(-PitchRate,-45,45)*(Activate8?1:0.2), you can gradually change 0.01 into some smaller value, maybe start with 0.008, until you no longer have the wobbling issue.

    @Whills what do u recommend for just countering it because the autotrim helps alot especially with landing

    @cay7809 I think the issue comes from low FPS, as it prevents the damper from updating in time to stabilize the plane. I tested it on my phone with low physics @ 30 fps, and it worked fine. Maybe try lowering your graphics settings to get better FPS?

    Another fix is that you click the variables setters and set the value of "stabControl" and "autotrim" to 0, that would remove the damper function.

    @Whills ok so errr at low fps the wobbling is still a thing although it happens regardless of airspeed
    this can cause problems when flying fast at low altitude as the wobbling does pretty much prevent pitch
    im pretty sure this was already here from original release not just 1.1
