This is an update for the SU-27 Flanker by Peter Davies. It is for both FS2002 & FS2004. To use in FS2002, go into the panel.cfg file and change: gauge00=fs9gps!gps_500, to gauge00=gps!gps, leaving the 4 numbers after the same.
I have redone the air and aircraft.cfg files. It flys more like the real one does. It doesn't overspeed unless in a dive or is over 37,000 ft., but it will reach mach 2.35 at 37,000 ft., as fast as the real one is supposed to be at that height.
The old address for Peter is no good so I could not ask his permission to do this update. If you know his current e-mail address, please let me know.
I also changed the afterburner effects and smoke effects.
Unzip the file to a folder of your choice. Copy the aircraft folder into the flight sim aircraft folder. Copy the effects into the main effects folder and the gauges into the main gauges folder, the sound files go into the sims main sound folder. No need to replace what is already there.
The sound files are to let you hear a boom as the afterburners light, so if you don't want that to happen don't put the sounds into the sim's main sound folder. They are part of the original package.
NOTE: If your plane has only the blue & burner flame without burner1 &/or burner2 you will not hear the burners light, they are not there. Any other plane with full afterburners you have should boom when the burners light.
I don't know if the real SU-27 has reverse thrust, but this model did so I left it in to use if you wish. The aircraft will land reasonably short without using it.
Since the plane came without a panel, the panel I am including is a modified f-15 panel originally made by Chuck Dome.
Tip for those having trouble with tail-wheel aircraft nosing over when the brakes are applied during landing. Go to the [brakes] section of the aircraft.cfg file and change the toe brakes value to 0.48420, but only if it is not already at, or less, than this value. It is usually 1.000031.
For any aircraft like the J3 Cub that has this line: differential_braking_scale = 0.48420 as well as toe brakes, make sure the number is at or below the value in the above example.
