M-2000C - Razbam announcements

Partial list of RAZBAM's comments and announcements about the M2000-C :

• Official update news thread by Zeus
   
   
  
• About M2000-C updates :
  

  Folks,
  I understand that you are anxious for news about the updates that are scheduled for the M-2000C.
  Despite the AV-8B NA taking precedence in all our work schedule, the M-2000C has not been forgotten and several improvements are ready to be deployed as soon as we are able to do so:
   
  - FM updates
  - New collision model.
  - Textures improvements
   
  On the avionics side, I still have to start working on the promised changes, but they will be coming. In fact I think that the M-2000C will benefit from the hiatus since some stuff that we learned while developing the AV-8B NA will be used with the M-2000C.
   
  Not a lot of news, but these are true news. :)

   
   
  
• About M2000-C flight model updates :
  

  Here are the updates pushed today! Let me know if you have any questions about the changes. I will also work up a separate list of the few items we are tracking for the next update that I am aware of:
   
  Flight Model and Systems:
  - Added clickableness to secondary oil switch
  - Added instability modeling for high angle of attack with heavy loadout
  - Fixed slat schedule equation
  - Fixed jittery acceleration numbers for HUD when weight on wheels (takeoff)
  - Fixed AP flight path marker on HUD now follows pitch ladder with roll
  - Fixed airbrake not showing in multiplayer
  - Fixed airspeed shown in HUD is now proper calibrated airspeed
  - Updated slat effectiveness
  - Updated weights of stores/pylons based on new data
  - Updated engine thrust for correct takeoff acceleration data
  - Updated rolling friction for accurate ground reaction behavior
  - Updated gear reaction for smoother response
  - Updated airfoil tables for proper lift and drag across envelope
  - Updated thrust, airfoil aerodynamics, fuselage aerodynamics to match performance data
  - Updated afterburner thrust reaction to environmental conditions
  - Updated roll rate control response with increased inertia (stores)
  - Updated FBW AOA limiter behavior and response
  - Updated FBW roll/yaw coupling logic
  - Updated AP for better response
  - Updated fuel flow modeling for various airframe and environmental conditions
  - Updated AP logic so that it holds trim position when placed off, thus leaving airframe in trimmed state
  - Updated FBW low speed behavior to be more AOA controlled, previously was pitch rate controlled. Gives more accurate response and behavior in low speed feels more like a standard aircraft.
  - Updated trim control sensitivity
  - Updated FBW spin switch logic
  - Updated FBW emergency switch logic
   
  3D Model and Textures:
  - Updated HUD glass material/texture
  - Updated collision model with misconfigured line segements
  - Updated fuel tank model and attachment angle
  - Updated external model with minor specular changes
  - Updated cockpit and external model for optimized polygons and more rounded cylinders
  - Updated interior lights

   
  
• About M2000-C model:
  

  There is also an "English" Cockpit texture in the works.

  Yes cockpit is getting new look.

  New pilot for the M-2000C under development.
  

   
  
• About M2000-C sounds :
  

  There is a brand new sounder implementation now available to 3rd party developers. We'll be reworking the sounds once that implementation in the SDK is available in all versions.

   
  
• About M2000-5 :
  Would be a full module, and won't happend in the near futur because not enough informations available.
  

  Sorry, not a chance, it we ever develop a -5 it will be an independent module at full price, the differences between iterations of the same aircraft, in this case, are very critical

Feel free to point me towards any other relevant post, hopefully this thread will avoid some questions being asked over and over.

(Also if someone knows a way to have the date of the quote automatically displayed, I'd take it)

Nice resume

Thanks for the round up.

great post, thanks for this!

Thank you very much for this post. I suggest putting also the date that the updates are posted.

Thanks

Cockpit update planned :

There is also an "English" Cockpit texture in the works.

Nice post, thanks !

Hi effect hypoxia well be implemented?
