A bug in updateVelocities_6053E0() : VectorXYZ var_28_2 = {   velocity.x - timeStep * 0.5 * acceleration.x,   velocity.y - timeStep * 0.5 * acceleration. x y ,   velocity.z - timeStep * 0.5 * acceleration. x z }; It’s weird that this doesn’t blow up in ADF/TAW’s face. It’s obviously wrong … I think ...

I don’t know what it is, but it’s huge.

Wreckage of a Ukranian SU-27
Pilot probably ejected because canopy was found far away (source)

As terrible as these events are – as developers of combat simulators, we should use these scenes as references and hope that we never see them in reality again. Please no blood / bodies / etc; have respect for the people fighting there. Damaged KA-52 After an emergency landing outside of Kyiv; pilot...

I haven’t seen this documented anywhere, so I’ll be doing it here: Activate Cheat Mode This is required to enable any of the later cheats! Start ADF. Start an arbitrary mission and enter the F-22 cockpit. Press and hold the Alt key. While holding it down, press the following keys one after another: ...

It is indeed COLLISION_BOX and COLLISION_TRIANGLE, i.e. should be exactly like TAW’s!

Are you suggesting we do the same for EF2000 V2.0, and incorporate it into TFXplorer? Not decompile it in the same way, ever again! I’d just try to find these data tables and insert them into TAW’s flight model, then change the generic parameters (mass, position of control surfaces, thrust, …) to m...

A typical 2D lookup table may look like this: double const aeroLookup6_x[] = { 0.0, 0.2, 0.4, 0.6, 0.8, 0.95 }; double const aeroLookup6_y[] = { 2, 10 }; double const aeroLookup6_s[] = { 1.0, 1.005, 1.01, 1.02, 1.035, 1.06, 1.0, 1.015, 1.06, 1.145, 1.325, 1.64 }; Lookup2D const aeroLookup6 = { // @0...

Right, they are not in the extracted files – they are hard-coded into the EXE. I can only see their addresses and content, but no comments …

A few weeks ago, I had the idea that the flight model may not actually be limited to the F-22. If we look, for example, at the engine descriptions:     EngineStuffA engines[4]; // left / right / unused / unused This makes it pretty clear that they planned to use the flight model for other kinds of p...

I’m having a look at the flight model again, looking at my old IDA database and stuff. I found that TFXplorer does not properly model the drag increase with extended gear. To enable this, the function computeAerodynamicForceZ_604640() needs a fix in the last condition: if(isOnGround()) { if(isGearDo...

Funny little thing: Start the Takeoff Training mission. Immediately start your engines. As fast as you can, taxi out into the desert. Before the clock hits 10:00:14, eject ( Shift + Esc , Esc ). Your F-22 will be stuck on the ground for a few seconds while your chute opens. Then, it will magically (...

You can use the [ var ] BBcode for monospaced text, like int i = 0; – just like HTML’s <var>. Of course, there is still [ code ] for multi-line text.

The new [ kbd ] BBcode displays keys as such, e. g. Shift + F5.

… and its files start with 'OSL1' indeed. Excellent find! 👍
