REVISION HISTORY
VERSION 2.41
April 25th, 2014
- Fixed small bug in the Tacpack in-flight refueling system, so that in many instances the fuel flow rate was way too low.
Now it can be somewhat too fast...but will still take minutes to fully refuel the Lightning.
Non-tacpack users can ignore this update.
NOTE: THIS IS MEANT TO BE THE FINAL VERSION COMPATIBLE WITH FSX.
There may be further upgrades in future, but they may well be Prepar3D v2.2 only.
Version 2.40
April 22nd 2014
- Added functionality to external tanks: if tanks are present, it is possible to fill the "external tanks 1 and 2" (461 gallons each).
If tanks are absent, any fuel in those slots will be immediately depleted. External fuel quantity appear in
- Added IFF Friend cue (UNTESTED in multiplayer). A "FRIEND" cue will appear if a A/A missile is locked on a friendly A/C and the target
is within launch range.
- Added DUD cue to bombs (flashing cross for CCIP, flashing "DUD" on AUTO and MAN modes).
- Fixed A/S Targeting issues. Now "ENTER" designates aicraft boresight, while TRIGGER designated HMD LOS.
- Fixed minor bug in ENG page
- Fixed rendering issue in F-35C external model
- Minor improvements to autopilot logic (still not working as intended in many instances)
- Fixed bug causing unnecessary opening of weapon bay doors
- Fixed bug causing occasional uncommanded release of ordnance
- Changed in flight refuel logic, now with more realistic fuel rate (takes minutes to refill the A/C - UNTESTED)
- Added 2D MFD (SHIFT+5) to all aicrafts (feature previously available as patch)
Version 2.38
January 15th 2014
- Fixed major bug which prevented MFD operation under certain acceleration conditions
- Added control to deactivate HMD off-boresight indications (SHIFT+CONTROL+H)
- Implemented proper Off-boresight logic: if the target exceeeds the 1.5?circle, AIM-9X unlocks and seeker is reset to HMD center.
Version 2.36
January 14th 2014
- Fixed shadowing glitch on the left flap of the F-35C model.
NOTE: DOCS AND MANUALS DO NOT REFLECT THE CHANGES OF VERSION 2.35 AND 2.36
Version 2.35
January 14th 2014
- Changed pilot figure with a much more detailed model and removed pilot animation.
- Changed afteburner effect with modeled rendering for P3Dv2 compatibiliy.
- Changed transonic effect with modeled rendering for P3Dv2 compatibility.
- Removed sound barrier sound effect (adopted pilot's perspective - no sound is heard by the pilot)
- Removed high Gs and high AoA effect (they did not render properly in P3Dv2)
- Improved responsiveness of autopilot gains
- Fixed minor glitch in MFD>ENG page
- Slight visual improvement in MFD>HUD page
- Solved (partially) shadowing glitches in F-35C model when used in P3Dv2
-TACPACK ONLY: Added support for Off-boresight launch. Note: actual seeker is limited to +/-70?deg AZ/EL.
NOTE: Seeker will not detect targets outside that range.
-TACPACK ONLY: Support for Pre-planned target. Selecting PP as A/S target, the current waypoint (if any) is designated as target.
NOTE: Upon reaching the waypoint, the next waypoint is automatically designated...better be quick when releasing the weapons.
-TACPACK ONLY: Support for Tacpack generated Tacans (boat and tanker).
NOTE: ILS for the boat will be tuned automatically if Tacan frequency is entered.
-TACPACK ONLY: Added support fro proper, Tacpack driven, Head Mounted Display. Gimmick HMD removed from non-Tacpack installation.

INSTALLATION & COMPATIBILITY
****************************
Should you have any version old version (i.e. befor v2.10) of my F-35 LIGHTNING II models, first UNINSTALL them and remove all the
relevant files from the SimObjects/Aircraft folder.
Version 2.11 does not feature an installer program so you will have to install the files manually.
You should unpack all the files in a folder of your choice then move all the files in the Effects folder in the
Flight Simulator X/Effects folder and all the files in the SimObject folder in the Flight Simulator X/SimObject
folder, maintaining the exact folder structure and names.
NOTE:
This aircraft requires Flight Simulator X: Acceleration or Flight Simulator X:Gold for full functionality.
May also work (but it is not tested) on Microsoft ESP and Lockheed Martin Prepar3d.
