Auto Credit Based on Zaineman's FX54 BLACK DRAGON Ver 5

Thank you Darz & Volotok for original airframe
Special thanks to 50CalChicken

.

In aircraft settings you can "Remove Instruments"

All controls are in aircraft and you don't need activate buttons taking up space on your screen ! !

.

Simple Controls - Above Right Radar

C = Cycle Targeting

T = Target next

W = Weapon Next

G = Gear

F = Flares

Cockpit, Engines, & HELMET HUD ! !

First turn on main battery switch

This will close canopy and turn on all systems

Flip HUD switch to go between HUD in pilots helmet or HUD on aircraft

New thrust vectoring PSM engines installed (original afterburners retained)

PSM Controls & Parameters

Afterburners automatically kick in at 95% throttle.

When PSM switch is activated afterburners are disengaged to control aircraft speed.

During PSM air brakes deploy at speeds greater than 300. Again to control aircraft speed.

Because 300+ is outside the range of PSM.

4 sets of air brakes for equal distance breaking on aircraft.

All air brakes are set to a drag scale of 30.

Auto Flaps

Center located Flaps will ONLY Auto deploy if the ALL following conditions are met

Gear is deployed

Altitude below 900 ft

Speed less than 400


.

Stats provided by AshdenpawTG22

Take-off speed: 240 MPH

Stall speed: 100 MPH (???)
Maneuverability: AAAAAAAAAA
Top speed: 730 MPH
Top altitude: 80,000 FT
Dogfight (Human player): (I skipped P-51 since it would instantly win)
Wasp: win
Notes: really fun to fly and use. The PSM can be a bit unstable and unpredictable. So I’d say new players shouldn’t use it. And it can be a bit annoying in the dogfight mode when you start in the air and all systems are off. But otherwise it’s great!

bonus stat
How long it took to shoot down a civilian aircraft from take off: 25 seconds

    @AshdenpawTG22 I never considered dogfight mode w the aircraft powered off. I wonder how many people this affects ? Thanks for bringing this up it gives me something to think about. I also added your stats to the bottom of the description, giving you credit of course. Z 😺

    @ToeTips naw.....I copied and pasted my post to you under his plane. I think he will get it. I did the same thing when I had no points. Of course it was on my first day. And I figured it out really quick after somebody commented to me.....no harm done.........yet...lol Z💪

    Should we contact them to let them know or solve it quietly?

    @ToeTips Well, yes and no (but yes again) the original design came from DARZ & VOLOTOK and it had no cockpit. I contacted DARZ and got his permission to use his aircraft and put my cockpit in it. So this individual either took DARZ and VOLOTOK aircraft without their permission, or they took my build without my permission. But they have no points so obviously they're brand new. Maybe somebody should gently tell them about etiquette.....

    @GuyFolk Thanks I appreciate the help, I'm going to check out your latest builds and see if I can fix this.

    I think I know why your throttle is broken.
    It's all about the A1 parameter you've added in the engine long time ago, I guess A1 is the battery switch.
    The same code wasn't broken before, why is it broken now I'd never know.
    Maybe the code was copied from one build to another build for many times and some code was lost in transit.
    I think you'd need to go back to this version of code since I think this is the perfect version of PSM.
    Or just ditch this super old code and take new code from my newer builds.

    @DARZAVIATIONOFICIAL Thank you. Did you see the credit for you & VOLOTOK in the first line of the description ? You always create the most aerodynamically sound aircraft shapes. The PSM on this aircraft is especially stable because of it. I added all kinds of automatic systems to this aircraft. For instance, the aircraft would go so fast that it could not break into the PSM envelope due to its high speed. So, when you hit the PSM switch, it shuts down the afterburners and engages air brakes if you're going too fast. This way the PSM will actually work Lol ! And the auto flaps I'm quite proud of. I know my cockpit is not traditional but it is unique. ( I like it ) Thanks again Darz ! Z😺

    @Tankhaiedit Thanks on the cockpit compliment. It has been evolving for about a year now. There is so much there that people don't realize. For instance, all the switches have lights at the base that will only turn on when the main battery switch is on. I did this so you could see the location of the switch in low light. Check out the programming on various items in the cockpit. It's never ending... Lol... Z😺

    @Tankhaiedit Hey, have you flown her yet ? Don't forget to turn on the main battery switch in the center of the cockpit. Z😺
