F-20A Hammerhead update: Changelog for 0.2
By popular demand: Removed droptanks
Added USAF Edwards afb skin and removed RDAF ( will be re introduced with skin pack later )
Added gunpod ( non functional, same with missiles )
Removed silly items in the cockpit ( will bring other easter eggs back later )
Added formation lights
Added STOL intake to theoretically allow the jet to operate on austere airfields
A few notes, tips and tricks:
The jet will shut down the engine if you pull the throttle all the way back ( past the idle stop ) - that's realistic - but annoying ;) You can start the engine by pressing CTRL and E - even in flight ( if you accidentally shut it down ), - you don't need to turn on the battery, APU and ignition in the cockpit, they're just there for show ( the jet is basically a revamp of the F/A-18, but I couldn't get the start up to work properly since the Hammerhead is a 1 engine bird, but! CTRL and E works like a charm, even though it's cheating a bit ).
There's a lot of vibration around 800 knots / 1482 kph / 921 mph
Nosewheel steering is a little wonky, if you turn it off - it stays off :S - so rather have it and be careful on the pedals, then not have it.
To install a community jet in MSFS you need to go to your Users/ your name /AppData/Roaming/Microsoft Flight Simulator/Packages/Community folder and drop the "witus-f-20a-hammerhead" folder from the drive link there. When you load of MSFS next time it should be selectable in your hangar :)
The landing gear ( and flaps if you use them for take off ) will jam in place if you retract them beyond its safe operating speeds ( 150 - 190 knots ) , so if you take off in afterburner, make sure you retract it immediately. Same when putting landing gear and flaps down, they will not operate at high speed, so slow down ( 150 knots ca. with aoa similar to approach )
