[fltsim.0] title=P-38F Lightning sim=P38F_Lightning model= panel= sound= texture= KB_checklists=p38f_lightning_check description=The striking appearance and high performance of the U.S. Army's Lockheed P-38 Lightning made a powerful first impression. It used liquid-cooled engines, but its twin Allison V-12s made you feel a lot better about flying long distances over water. Twin-engine reliability and long range were big assets, particularly in the Pacific theater, where the top- scoring American aces, including Richard Bong and Thomas McGuire, were flying it to record numbers of victories. ui_manufacturer=Lockheed [WEIGHT_AND_BALANCE] empty_weight=12264 // (pounds) reference_datum_position=0.0, 0, 0 // (feet) distance from FlightSim Reference position: (1/4 chord, centerline, waterline) empty_weight_CG_position=0.0, 0, 0 // (feet) longitudinal, lateral, vertical distance from specified datum max_number_of_stations=50 station_load.0=170, -3.0, 0.0, 3.0 //Pilot Weight (lbs), longitudinal, lateral, vertical positions from datum (feet) ;Moments of Inertia empty_weight_pitch_MOI=19696 empty_weight_roll_MOI=16104 empty_weight_yaw_MOI=29242 empty_weight_coupled_MOI=0.000000 max_gross_weight=18651.000000 [flight_tuning] cruise_lift_scalar=1.0 parasite_drag_scalar=1.0 induced_drag_scalar=1.0 elevator_effectiveness=1.0 aileron_effectiveness=1.0 rudder_effectiveness=1.0 pitch_stability=1.0 roll_stability=1.0 yaw_stability=1.0 elevator_trim_effectiveness=1.0 aileron_trim_effectiveness=1.0 rudder_trim_effectiveness=1.0 [piston_engine] power_scalar=1.0 cylinder_displacement=142.500000 compression_ratio=6.650000 number_of_cylinders=12 max_rated_rpm=3000.000000 max_rated_hp=1325.000000 fuel_metering_type=0 cooling_type=1 normalized_starter_torque=0.035000 turbocharged=1 max_design_mp=53.999999 min_design_mp=1.000000 critical_altitude=21000.000000 emergency_boost_type=0 emergency_boost_mp_offset=0.000000 emergency_boost_gain_offset=0.000000 fuel_air_auto_mixture=0 auto_ignition=0 max_rpm_mechanical_efficiency_scalar=1.000000 idle_rpm_mechanical_efficiency_scalar=1.000000 max_rpm_friction_scalar=1.000000 idle_rpm_friction_scalar=1.000000 [propeller] thrust_scalar=1.0 rotation= -1,1 //Engine 1,2,3,...
