też zerkałem, ale zdaje się ta procedura powrotu do FM z SP3 odnosiła się do FF1
(brzmi enigmatycznie
) )
IMHO .. najlepiej polubić FF2 ... nie wiem, FF1 dostał trochę krytyki za FM, ale zdaje się zostało to poprawione....

FF2 Flight Models
By Tom "Saint" Launder
FF2 features a revised and further improved set of flight models. The flight model work
that was done for SP3 release is now the standard starting point for the further improved
flight models. Where new models were created, the same methodology that was used to
create the models for SP3 was used for FF2.
Aircraft Specific Notes:
F-16: FF2 begins the process of separating the F-16 flight models based on model, block,
and engine. This release contains all Pratt and Whitney engines (F100-PW-220, 220/E,
229). In the future, the GE engines will be modeled. These F-16 models have
improvements in the limiters based on Andre Joseph's work.
a. F-16A: Block15
b. F-16B: Block 15
c. F-16AM-B & N: Block 20
d. F-16C/KF-16C B.32/ F-16 AGSR/F-16XL: Block 32
e. F-16CG: Block 42 (default)
f. F-16DG: Block 42
g. F-16CJ/F-16C HAF/KF-16 B.52: Block 52
h. F-16DJ: Block 52
F-14A,B & D: The F-14 models have received a thorough review based on some new
performance data. Some data was available for both the F-14A and F-14D models. Areas
tested were acceleration, time to climb, sustained turns, takeoff/landing speeds, and
performance envelope. These models are close to the charts. The models have two
stages of manual flaps. The roll rates, engine spool, and TSFC were adjusted.
F-15: The F-15 models (C/E) received a minor adjustment to the limiters to correct some
poor landing performance. The F-15C and E models will receive a further review for FF3.
F/A-18C/D/E & F: The F/A-18 models have all been reviewed and further improved. The
F/A-18s have two stage manual flaps. FF2 brings new F/A-18E and F models. These also
have two stage manual flaps.
EF-2000: This aircraft flight model was difficult to estimate. According to pilot reports, the
aircraft is capable of supercruise flight. The EF-2000 outperforms everything but the F/A-
22. Because there were no performance charts available, approximations were used
in the performance envelope to simulate what is published about the aircraft.
Mirage III, 2000 series: All new models were made for the Mirage family of aircraft. There
are multiple versions being simulation in FF2. A new wing was also approximated for a
cambered delta wing. The 2000 aircraft are simulating the SNECMA M53-P2 engine. The
2000 series also has a fly by wire system that limits AOA to 29 degrees. The Matra Spirale
electronic warfare system is modeled with 112 chaff and 16 flares. It should be noted that
the Mirage III is quite inferior to the 2000 version. Many of the problems encountered with
the delta wing were corrected in the 2000 model by Dassault.
JAS-37 and 39: Initial approximation work was done on these two aircraft.
For some other aircraft, multiple minor changes were necessary. Also, many changes
(like gear, flaps, speedbrake, and canopy) were necessary due to new 3D aircraft models.
The flight model work in FF2 is a continued improvement, but due to the volume of flight
models available (140+), not all models have been reviewed. As time permits, models will
continue to be reviewed and improved.

features low RCS, high maneuverability, 13 HPs for weapons, advanced radar and
excellent engine performance. The combination of range, weapons loads, low RCS and
superb flight characteristics, makes the Typhoon a very capable multi-role fighter.
5. JAS-39 Gripen: The Swedish Gripen, is a lightweight multi-role fighter built by SAAB
that features a low RCS signature. It is considered to be a 5th generation fighter and is
capable of multiple roles and features the AMRAAM, sidewinder, ALARM missiles as
well as the RBS-15 ASM. The Gripen features a FM that makes it a worthy dog fight
adversary for the F-16.

They feature FBW flight controls, front canards for improved flight control, updated
avionics and increased ordinance carrying capacity. The M2Ks feature several

FF1, the M2Ks in FF2 have been upgraded to include more realistic weapons loads and
mission taskings. The variants in FF2 are as follows:
a. Mirage 2000-9: Latest generation that features the Mica A-A missiles as well
as multiple types of A-G ordinance.
