Update of /var/cvs/FlightGear-0.9/data/Aircraft/yf23 In directory baron:/tmp/cvs-serv1736 Modified Files: yf23-readme.txt yf23-yasim-set.xml yf23-yasim.xml Added Files: yf23-set.xml Log Message: Lee Elliott: Here are a couple of updates for the TSR2 and YF-23. I've reduced the poly counts on the YF-23 pilot model and added a couple of copies to the TSR2, so there are new copies of both models. I've also tried to incorporate the stuff that Andy R mentioned, although not to his exact figures, so there's much less travel in the main gear and the approach AoA has been raised. I think the gear is definitely improved but raising the approach AoA from 5 deg to 9 deg has also made it a bit 'livelier' - I'd recommend 1/3 to 1/2 throttle (dry) for take-off and then add the rest of the power once you're in the air. Take-off on full (dry) power is a bit on the fast side and the AP doesn't really get the a/c into the air quickly enough - you'll be doing approx 140-150kt (it accelerates so quickly that it's difficult to tell the exact speed) whereas it'll unstick at around 130kts at 1/3rd throttle (no flaps in either case). Once it's in the air it likes to climb at a high angle too, but as you can feed in full power once you're off the ground this isn't a problem:)(Continue reading)
