List of 3 Floats

This is the distance (in meters) to turn off animation and model behavior systems, which lowers the processing overheads for the aircraft. The approximate values by category would be:

• AircraftPilot = 100 meters
• FlyingAnimals = 250 meters
• All others = 1000 meters

Default is 1000.

If TRUE the aircraft is available for user selection within the sim, if FALSE it can only be used as AI aircraft.

Default is 1 (TRUE).

This is a legacy entry that was used to provide an alternative description for an aircraft.

This one is for developers and can be used to indicate whether an aircraft is a work in progress or not and what state it is in. Should be omitted if the aircraft is not a work in progress.

Default is 0.

1. None - Commands are ignored (position remains fixed).
2. Ordinal - Camera moves to the next ordinal compass position in the direction of the command.
3. Swivel - Camera moves incrementally in the direction of the command.
4. Orthogonal - Camera rotates in the direction of the command (used in top-down view).

String:

1. None
2. Ordinal
3. Swivel
4. Orthogonal

1. String:
2. None - No tracking behavior. User has manual control over the camera.
3. FlyBy - Fly-by mode; the camera is positioned away from the user aircraft (at a location given by ChaseDistance, ChaseAltitude and ChaseHeading values) and tracks the aircraft for ChaseTime seconds before computing a new position.
4. Track - Camera tracks the object while maintaining its position.
5. TrackBank - Camera tracks the object while maintaining its position.
6. FlatChase - Camera moves with the object, maintaining a fixed distance from it. Camera movements are dampened.
7. FlatChaseLocked - Camera moves with the object, maintaining a fixed distance from it. Camera movements are rigid.

This setting is used to control how the clip planes are computed. Clip planes are used to set the minimum and maximum distances for rendering in a 3D graphics program. The relative location of these planes determines how precise the graphics engine can maintain the Z-order of objects. A discussion of clip plane management is beyond the scope of this document, however the concept is relevant to the camera system because it determines whether the camera favors near or far objects in the view.

Default value is "Normal".

String:

1. "Normal" – The near clip plane is scaled along with the zoom level. Useful for most views.
2. "Minimum" – Clamps the near clip plane at its absolute minimum value (1 meter). Useful for cameras where the camera is placed close to object geometry (e.g., aircraft cameras).
3. "Spot" – Favors distant objects by scaling the near clip plane with altitude and distance. Useful when the camera is positioned a reasonable distance away from the target object (e.g., spot view).
4. "Tower" – Favors near objects by scaling the near clip plane by one-half the zoom level and clamping the far plane based on visibility settings with an absolute limit of 20km. Useful when objects at the limits of visibility aren't important.

Enum:

1. - NO / OFF
2. - FrontOnly
3. - YES / ON / TRUE / Always

Value to indicate if de-feathering oil accumulators are available (TRUE, 1) or not (FALSE, 0).

Default value is 0 (FALSE).

This is the factor of the advance ratio on the effective beta.

Default value is 0.2.

No longer used by Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024. For legacy aircraft this has been replaced by the table prop_power_cf, or is internally calculated when using the modern flight model.

Defines the friction/torque applied to the engine - especially when shutting down - using a 1D Curve of up to 8 paired values. Values are ftlbs for torques, and RPM for engine rotation speeds.

Default values are:

engine_friction_table = -1000:0.3, 0:0.3, 1000:0.3, 2000:0.3, 3000:0.3, 4000:0.3, 6000:0.3

1D Curve of Floats

wing_pos_apex_lon

Longitudinal (z) distance of the wing apex - as measured at the centerline of the aircraft - from the Datum Reference Point point in ft. This distance is measured positive in the forward (aircraft nose) direction. Note that this value will have no effect if the compute_aero_center value is 0 - which is generally how it should be.

Currently not used in Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024. Instead you should be using the aero_center_lift parameter.

The longitudinal position, in feet, from the Datum Reference Point of the helicopter that represents the lateral aerodynamic center.

Default value is 0.

The longitudinal position, in feet, from the Datum Reference Point of the helicopter that represents the vertical aerodynamic center.

Default value is 0.

This defines whether the helicopter has a correlator that maps the throttle onto the collective (1, TRUE), or not (0, FALSE).

NOTE: This parameter will no longer work and should not be used. It has been deprecated in favour of collective_to_throttle_correlator parameters.

Default value is 1 (TRUE).

This parameter can be used to indicate the presence of TCAS and / or FLARM systems. If supplying this parameter you give two values separated with a comma (val1, val2) where the first corresponds to the TCAS and the second to the FLARM. For the TCAS you can give one of the following values:

1. 0 - No TCAS capability (no transponder)
2. 1 - Only transponder responses
3. 2 - Standard TCAS
4. 3 - External TCAS

This parameter can be used to indicate the presence of a FLARM system. It can have the following values:

1. 0 - No Flarm
2. 1 - Flarm installed

List of Integers

Setting this to 1 (TRUE) makes the autopilot autoland system available to the aircraft, otherwise set it to 0 (FALSE) to disable autoland.

IMPORTANT! This is a legacy parameter that is no longer supported by the simulation and will do nothing if edited/included.
