M-2000C Update Discussion

[Raven (Elysian Angel)]

Good news everyone! [...]

Thank you! :)

[Rlaxoxo]

This is going to be an exciting week <3

[BarTzi]

Thank you for your hard work!, do you have any updates on some of the missing cockpit functionality (HUD brightness for example)?

[ZHeN]

This is going to be an exciting week <3

 

Who said next ED update is next week?

[Texac]

Who said next ED update is next week?

 

You said it is next week.

 

Anyway can't wait to see the Mirage receiving its updates.

[ZHeN]

Yep. You're right.

Of course Riaxoxo meant some week next year which is definitely going to be exciting! How silly of me was to talk about next week

[Texac]

Yep. You're right.

The next update is planned to be available still this month if you consider the release of the Harrier.

 

But surely you can wait till next year if you like to.

Thanx for an update Zeus :thumbup:

[Esac_mirmidon]

Impressive.

[mvsgas]

Thank you. Hopefully this will appease the continuous conjecture.

[Tripleinside]

Thanks a lot for this post, very much appreciated !

[Conroy]

Nice list, thank you very much.

 

About the textures update, give a look here please, canopy texture "corrupted": it does seem to be accidentally erased.

Here are the updates pushed today! Let me know if you have any questions about the changes. I will also work up a separate list of the few items we are tracking for the next update that I am aware of:

 

Flight Model and Systems:

- Added clickableness to secondary oil switch

- Added instability modeling for high angle of attack with heavy loadout

- Fixed slat schedule equation

- Fixed jittery acceleration numbers for HUD when weight on wheels (takeoff)

- Fixed AP flight path marker on HUD now follows pitch ladder with roll

- Fixed airbrake not showing in multiplayer

- Fixed airspeed shown in HUD is now proper calibrated airspeed

- Updated slat effectiveness

- Updated weights of stores/pylons based on new data

- Updated engine thrust for correct takeoff acceleration data

- Updated rolling friction for accurate ground reaction behavior

- Updated gear reaction for smoother response

- Updated airfoil tables for proper lift and drag across envelope

- Updated thrust, airfoil aerodynamics, fuselage aerodynamics to match performance data

- Updated afterburner thrust reaction to environmental conditions

- Updated roll rate control response with increased inertia (stores)

- Updated FBW AOA limiter behavior and response

- Updated FBW roll/yaw coupling logic

- Updated AP for better response

- Updated fuel flow modeling for various airframe and environmental conditions

- Updated AP logic so that it holds trim position when placed off, thus leaving airframe in trimmed state

- Updated FBW low speed behavior to be more AOA controlled, previously was pitch rate controlled. Gives more accurate response and behavior in low speed feels more like a standard aircraft.

- Updated trim control sensitivity

- Updated FBW spin switch logic

- Updated FBW emergency switch logic

 

3D Model and Textures:

- Updated HUD glass material/texture

- Updated collision model with misconfigured line segements

- Updated fuel tank model and attachment angle

- Updated external model with minor specular changes

- Updated cockpit and external model for optimized polygons and more rounded cylinders

- Updated interior lights

 

My thoughts:

[trindade]

Thanks for the list CptSmiley, looking forward the update. Keep the good work.:thumbup:

 

Cheers

[stratojet]

Great news, thanks Razbam!!!

[Sarge55]

Great looking update Cap...thanks for the hard work.

[Gliptal]

Isn't the FPM pitch ladder problem already fixed?

[Ski01]

Fantastic - looking forward to it. I like these lines especially:

- Updated airfoil tables for proper lift and drag across envelope

- Updated thrust, airfoil aerodynamics, fuselage aerodynamics to match performance data

woohoo :)

"Here are the updates pushed today!"

 

What does the above mean? Does it mean sent to ED for preparation for the next update?

 

Thanks

Thanks

 

Lets just hope, fingers crossed! :D

How is the maneuverability (especially the instantaneous turn rate) affected from this changes?

[Teldja]

Folks,

I understand that you are anxious for news about the updates that are scheduled for the M-2000C.

Despite the AV-8B NA taking precedence in all our work schedule, the M-2000C has not been forgotten and several improvements are ready to be deployed as soon as we are able to do so:

 

- FM updates

- New collision model.

- Textures improvements

 

On the avionics side, I still have to start working on the promised changes, but they will be coming. In fact I think that the M-2000C will benefit from the hiatus since some stuff that we learned while developing the AV-8B NA will be used with the M-2000C.

 

Not a lot of news, but these are true news. :)

Thank you Zeus and Cptsmiley for providing us with some very interesting news about the M-2000C future updates.

What's with RD mode of INS?
