This took way longer than it should've, but its here now and that's all that matters.
Anywho what do i have for you here, well its a legacy hornet that concludes the description XD JK i need to ramble

Improvements to FMs

I made a lot of improvements on my FTs for stuff like drag and FCSs, and simplified them, they used to be a mess at somepoint i couldn't even read them properly or make adjustments, but now thats sorted The drag curve is now a continuous curve which improves overall feel of acceleration and deceleration.

Improvements to drag model were done by basically comparing the acceleration of the FM with warthunder till it was decently similar, this made it easier to adjust the airbrake output for drag it was pretty easy dont know what I was doing before

Major Improvements to FCS the previous code had an issue where by at high altitude and high speed the jet would pull like >10Gs which was very unrealistic, to put simple i had scaled the FT with IAS instead of TAS

Start-up Procedure

Note : only applies to ground spawn or after landing
Right console

Then Left console

Flight performance

Now to the part everyone's been waiting for

Max Overload : 7.5G limited
AoA limits : ~38°
Max speed : 1370 km/h @sea lvl and +1800 km/h @10km

Flaps are completely automated, this was done for Flight performance sake, a few things to keep in mind flying at stall speeds or really high aoa will confuse the FCS making it to keep pulling in that direction though it happens at like +40° if it does simply apply Max roll and and roll the whole way it should straighten after 1 roll or so

Buttons and controls

To simplify this much like the F-15 and Su-27 i made when you spawn at ground lvl the engines are off and you need to do the startup procedure to start em up but are always on when you spawn above the ground, oh yeah and MFDs also start off but they turn on as soon as startup procedure is done or the MFD switches are turned on

just observe the labels bellow

Not enough AMRAAMS? Dw I gotcha
