Flight Model for aircrafts of Hell's Angels "SuperPatch" - by Greybeard - 25 september 2008. New in v.4 Fixed tendency to stall and spin of Fokker E III. Added latest Zinteck's damage model. Unhistorical arc-firing front guns have been removed and damage model modified accordingly ("bomber gunner" deactivated, where applicable, so to prevent game crash as happens when these two parameters do not match). As a consequence you have two option: ONE - launch program by Gabi's ReLoad with its Front Guns option activated to have two-seaters pilots firing their fixed guns straight in front of them or TWO - launch with Front Guns deactivated (or even without ReLoad) to have only rear gunners firing at you. Of course, aircrafts having real swivelling front guns, like F.E.2, will continue to arc-fire at you also from their front side! New in v.3 Corrected top speed of Halberstadt D.II, Nieuport 17, Nieuport 24, Nieuport 27 and Fokker Dr I. New in v.2 AI behaviour more suited to aircraft type. Refined wing warping effectiveness for Fokker E.III and Morane Bullet. Improved Halberstadt D.II performance. Revised powers according to actual examples on test bench (wherever available); converted CV and PS to HP. More realistic combat radii for all aircrafts. Reduced power outputs of rotary engines by 10% to keep count of windage losses. New in HASPfmGB Corrected stall, negative stall and zero lift AoA of wingj010.dat according to NACA 124, ref.247 (Goe.298). Raised Dr.I wing incidence to 2.4° and reduced tailplane one to equivalent of 4.7° according to related "Baubeschreibung" dated november 1917. Replaced Dr.I powerplant with 130 HP Le Rhone, coupled with an Axial prop. Revised max RPM. Corrected Nie.11 wings incidence and dihedral. Corrected all aircrafts aileron effectiveness according to formulas of NACA TN 144. Revised all "OuterWingArea" according to related ailerons span and number (2, 4 or 6). Corrected nominal cruising speeds for non flyable aircrafts. Reset all airplanes "duty" and "service". Improved Fokker E.III max speed. Updated damage model according to Zinteck's 7.3d for WFP. Introduced new Breaking Load Factors (g-loads) for all aiplanes. New in version 4.7 Restored original "PropWash" figures. Introduced precession caused by airscrew, also for inline engined aircraft. Set tailplane incidence to their historical value, where available. Revised control surfaces displacement (angular range) according to data from NACA report No.120. SE5a and Fokker D.VII got their historical values whilst Nieuports 11, 17 and 24 got figures derived from original drawings. All remaining aircrafts have been set to average values computed on the basis of seven examples reported on mentioned NACA document. Corrected all engines torque. Fixed Pfalz D.III tendency to stall and spin. Revised ailerons arm to get more accurate physics of roll (all aircrafts should have now their historical roll rate). New in version 4.6 Revised all control surfaces to get their physical effectiveness. Same about vertical and side area of fuselage to get more realistic aerodynamic effects. Corrected "take-off speeds". Albatros D.III received a more historical 175 HP Mercedes engine. Pfalz D.XII, Fokker D.VII and Dr.I got more accurate engine powers as well as max speeds. New in version 4.5 Set for all scouts correct prop diameter and pitch (see below; this affects frontal area when obtaining historical max speed. Correct frontal area gives proper air drag in any circumstance, e.g. during dives). In addition, more real horsepowers were introduced (B.H.P.) instead of "nominal" ones (e.g. Fok. D.VII had 200 HP Mercedes DIIIaü instead of "customary" 160 HP Mercedes DIII, no more produced in 1918). All aircrafts were revised about "arms of forces", side and vertical related, to get more realistic dynamics. Same was done about moments of inertia (pitch, yaw and roll), contributing as well to get dynamics more suited to their respective weights, dimensions and distribution of weights . New in version 4.4 Corrected some airfoils. New in version 4.3 Introduced Munk's factor. Minor refinements. New in version 4.2 Improved longitudinal stability of all aircrafts. FEATURES This FM is suited for Hell's Angels "SuperPatch" by Otto von Stachel. It uses new wing aerofoils by Rens, so they are included. It is based on Panama Red's BetaFMS8. It works only in "authentic" mode (in RB3D Realism Settings). INSTALLATION Unzip into your "...\CM11\Patches" folder, install by Campaign Manager. You may also install manually dropping into your "...\RedBaron3D\Data\Simpatch" folder all files contained into "Simpatch" folder of this patch. INFO This set contains Caudron G4 in slot 27, DFW C.V in slot 01 and Dorand AR in slot 11.
