YS FLIGHT SIMULATION SYSTEM

RELEASE 18 is ready with over 250 aircraft !

Goals

create a super download of YS with great add on packs
improve the flight characteristics
seek limitations of the flight model engine
document findings, FAQs, tips
more realistic roll rates and recovery (done)
more realistic sea level speeds
more realistic high speed limits at differing altitudes (not possible so far)
high speed G limits (not possible so far)
aircraft ceilings (not possible so far)
more realistic G ranges
more realistic Flap effects and drag (now possible in r15)
more realistic stall entry and exits
acrobatic maneuvers, Cobras, Bell etc...
rebuild damage system on guns, SAMS, bombs, AAAs
more realistic ammunition counts and power
more realistic strength of Tanks, buildings, bridges and hangars ...
replace default sounds (done)
better protection against multiplayer cheats (started)
mission flights and templates (new in release 10)

Produced by Galen Thurber

Features

Greatly improved / new: flight dynamics, G force ranges, stall characteristics, rudder inertia, yaw bobble, slow speed / landing sink rates, gun ammunition counts, ammo strength. New sound effects, ...

PLUS ability to fly planes of certain eras, such as only 1935-1941 or 1955-1965, commercial only. You choose! My collection has ALL planes activated by default, so this makes for strange dogfight demos. But you can limit what planes are used.

Here's how.
Your folder called 'aircraft' contains .LST files
Move a selected LST file into the subfolder 'inactive' to deactive planes of that type / era or another way to say above would be only keep the LST files that cover the era / type of planes you wish to have in the sim. If you only want the latest modern aircraft keep 'aircraft-2005.lst' etc..

Enjoy the combinations

Flight Lobby	EF Combat Net (Requires Java 1.4.2) "The EF Combat Net program offers combat flightsim players a possibility to connect, chat and start flightsims together online. Anyone is welcome. EFCN is a hybrid java/native code application. The native code part is in efcn.dll and is used for checking the flightsims used for giving more security that no one is cheating or using altered files without knowing.

Known Issues with realism pack (incomplete list)	side effects / poor AI
Landing with auto pilot just circles	will circle you in a pattern, computer can not land due to the computer pilot being unable to over pull G on radial ILS lineup, this is a side effect of realism edits. A solution maybe possible in future YS versions
Computer pilots crashing planes	due to introduced stalls and realism, computer pilots tend to crash planes. Planes that break (stall) under heavy G pull are prone to computer pilot crashes.

Known Issues with Simulation	more to be added
Flight Models	are poor and allow over pull of G forces, roll rates are often too high
Ammunition Counts	are way too high
Sound effects	are poor and only one sound effect can be played at one time
Flaps have no drag	Due to a formula within the flight sim, flap drag is a minute portion of the airbrake. No solution found. This is fixed in YS version 2006-08

Ground Objects	notes: limiting some building destruction from guns.
sam	have had their strength increased by 2 times.
aaa	have had their strength increased by 4 times.
bridges, hangars, buildings ...	have had their strength increased by 10 times.
