F-4
Phantom Superpit features and tips:
features: |
|
2D cockpit: |
|
|
Graphics
- This install allows autoscaling, therefor it is possible to fly in lower resolutions
like 1680 x1050 or 1440x900. The default resolution is 1920x1200.
16:9 resolutions like 1920x1080 is possible, but will result in
slight stretching of the 2D cockpit. |
|
|
Photorealistic
- cockpit with as real as possible
functionality, within the limits of the Falcon simulator software. |
|
|
Kneeboards
- The right kneeboard has 12 pages of browsable checklists for preflight and rampstart, ETR
(Enemy Treat Ranges), refueling checklist, landing checklists. Use
left and right mouseclicks to browse. The
left kneeboard is fully functional in every view since FF5 allows multiple
kneeboards, and has briefing, map and steerpoint data.
|
|
|
Nightlighting
- On the Internal Lights panel at the right down side you can enable floodlight by selecting the FLOOD BRT
knob. For enabling Instruments lights and backlit panels you
hit keys Shift-2
and you turn the 'CONSOLES' knob to BRT. |
|
|
Rampstart
- A full and realistic rampstart is possible, complete checklists on the right
knee and downloadable. |
|
|
Brevity codes
Checklists, clicking down twice from the
default 12 o’clock view will bring you to a large and complete NATO brevity code list for accurate
communications. |
|
|
3D
cockpit: |
|
Functionality
- Fully clickable (although most switches will not move) and
gauges/instruments operational. Note that many switches do not
correspond with the 2D cockpit functionality |
|
|
|
6DOF
- 6DOF TrackIR4 is recommended for full enjoyment.
If you don't have 6DOF enabled, open the 'FFViper config editor'
in the FreeFalcon5 directory, 'TrackIR settings', TrackIR DOF
support, then enable 'Yaw pitch Roll,X Y Z' and click 'Apply'. |
|
|
|
|
3D
cockpit
textures - High quality textures for the
interior of the aircraft matching the 2D cockpit |
|
|
|
| |
|
Extra
functionality |
|
Extra functionality
panel - When keys
Shift-1
are selected you will get a panel with extra large HUD/display data,
and complete functionality for handling the DED content and
navigation. |
| |
|
Extra
view large HUD-
When
keys Shift-1
are selected you can
pan down
to a view with extra large HUD for CCIP/CCRP bombing and landing
purposes |
| |
- Trim on Stick
There is a imaginary cross on the stick's trim button, using this
cross and left and rightclick will let you trim the plane. |
| |
|
Splash files
and docs |
|
There
are new loading and leaving screens for the Phantom installed |
| |
|
The
FreeFalcon5/docs/PitDocs dir has a couple of PDF and Word files with
information. Shortcuts are on your desktop after installation.
|
|
- PDF
with functionality description in full color for all the 2D pit's
switches and lights/instruments
|
|
- PDF with printable checklist matching the checklists on the right knee
in the cockpit. Best to print 2 pages on A-4 horizontally. |
|
- Word doc with all the F-4 types, squadrons and airbases flying in
Campaign and Dogfight mode in FF5 |
| |
