Features:
Created using data from aircraft operation and performance manuals. Flight model features include:
- Boundary Layer Control (BLC) Flaps
- Engine Plugin code to provide accurate supersonic acceleration and cruise performance
- Flight Model enhancement plugin code to provide accurate turn performance
- Plugin modelling of pitch-up due to high Angles of Attack
Plugin code to implement accurate instrumentation and performance. Like the Commercial T-33 package, this aircraft will feature full system modelling and complete and functioning instrumentation. Some custom instrumentation and systems examples include:
- Position and Homing Indicator (PHI)
- Litton Inertial Navigation System (INS) coupled to PHI
- Engine Management System with EGT and nozzle control
- Hydraulic System
- Electrical System
- Gun and Navigation Reticle
External fuselage and external 3D model have been built in TrueSpace allowing support for object animation. Animated aircraft parts include:
- Animated Exhaust Nozzle
- Animated Canopy
- Animated Landing Gear Components
- Animated Control Surfaces
- Animated Drag Chute Door
