F4E ADV v170830 (SP1) update

Hi all,

F4E ADV v170830 change-log:

Flight Model:

- Post-stall and spin model improved.
- Improved stores aerodynamics effects. A more complex and realistic model has been implemented affecting aircraft stability.
- Improved the flight model part affected by A/C configuration changes (flaps/slats).
- Lift due to pitch rate derivative added.
- Improved ground effect model. Now, the aircraft will be much closer to the T/O performance figures (Nosewheel liftoff and Takeoff speeds).
- Landing gear damage model revised and slightly increased strength. The main gear will stand sink rates up to 1200 ft/min.
- Improved tailhook "collision" model.

Engines Model:

- Overall engine dynamics improved; in particular at extremely high altitudes (zoom climb envelope), high AoA windmilling, airstarts etc...
- Fixed a bug preventing engine shutdowns in the first seconds after engine startup. Now the engine can be shutdown normally at any moment.
- Fixed a bug causing incorrect (and higher) thrust output when returning to Dry from AB position.
- Several minor bugs fixed.
- More accurate MIL thrust model at high altitudes.
- More accurate Specific Fuel Consumption model at dry thrust regime.

General Systems:

- Engine inlet ramps animation fixed: ramps position will now only depend on inlet temperature.
- Improved hydraulic system model.
- AOA indexer flickering with the aircraft stopped on ground fixed.
- SLAT IN light fixed. Now it only will light with electrical system On.
- APU caution light now fully functional.
- WHEELS light fixed: it will only light if flaps are extended.

Visuals:

- GPU disapearing with loadout changes fixed.
- Afterburner flickering fixed.

Effects:

- Fuel tanks collision damage model and effects added. Only low-fuel/no external tanks belly landings should be attempted.
- Drag chute sound effects added.
- Stores jettison sound added.
- Improved cockpit sounds (panning added).
- Oxygen mask sound effects added (no hypoxia implemented).

Miscellaneous:

- P3Dv4-64bit compatibility.
- ADV module initialization improved from saved flights (aircraft flying).
- New Instructor mode messages added (high EGT, external tanks airspeed limitations, etc...).
- Slightly reduced birdstrike probability.
- Fixed stability issues causing CTDs when selecting another aircraft.

Manual:

- Manual typos fixed.

Cheers,

Álvaro
