A
aileronCoef
Graph array, defines the influence of the ailerons control surface depending on the current speed. Each position in the array is a percentage of maxSpeed. First value is 0% of maxSpeed, last value is 150% of maxSpeed.
Array - Graph array of float values, related to maxSpeed
aileronCoef[] = {0,0.5,1,1.2,1.4,1.5,1.6}; // V-44 Blackfish
aileronCoef[] = {0.6,1,0.95,0.9,0.85,0.8,0.75}; // A-164 Wipeout
aileronCoef[] = {
0, // At 0 % of maxSpeed, this is the influence of the aileron
0.4, // 12.5 %
0.8, // 25 %
0.8, // 37.5 %
0.9, // 50 %
1.0, // 62.5 %
1.0, // 75 %
1.1, // 87.5 %
1.1, // 100 %
1.2, // 112.5 %
1.2, // 125 %
1.2, // 137.5 %
1.3 // 150 %
};
aileronControlsSensitivityCoef
Sensitivity of the player roll (aileron) input - how fast the control surface reaches it is max. extent. (does not affect AI).
aileronControlsSensitivityCoef = 1; // V-44 Blackfish
aileronControlsSensitivityCoef = 3.6; // Caesar BTT
aileronControlsSensitivityCoef = 3; // A-164 Wipeout
aileronSensitivity
Aileron authority. Lower values make the airplane bank slower, allowing to simulate heavier aircraft.
aileronSensitivity = 0; // No bank
aileronSensitivity = 0.5; // V-44 Blackfish
aileronSensitivity = 0.75; // A-164 Wipeout
aileronSensitivity = 0.85; // Caesar BTT
aileronSensitivity = 1; // Fast bank
airBrake
Defines if the aircraft has airbrakes. Also linked to "SpeedBrake" animation source.
airBrake = 0; // No airbrakes
airBrake = 1; // Most aircrafts
airBrakeFrictionCoef
Defines the "braking power" / friction of airbrakes.
airBrakeFrictionCoef = 2.4;
airFrictionCoefs
Air friction depending on velocity 2, 1 and 0 powers in {X,Y,Z} axes in the model space. Boolean

airFrictionCoefs1[] = { 0.100, 0.050, 0.006 };
airFrictionCoefs0[] = { 0.0, 0.0, 0.0 };
altFullForce
Altitude value in meters at which the aircraft starts to progressively lose thrust influence until altNoForce is reached. Below this altitude, thrust influence is always at its maximum. Simulates effect of thinning air on engine performace.
altFullForce = 6000; // Caesar BTT
altFullForce = 2000; // V-44 Blackfish
altNoForce
Altitude value in meters at which the aircraft loses its thrust influence completely. Below this altitude, thrust influence is progressively lost as soon as altFullForce is reached. Simulates effect of thinning air on engine performace.
altNoForce = 7500; // Caesar BTT
altNoForce = 7000; // V-44 Blackfish
angleOfIndicence
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Angle_of_incidence_(aerodynamics) Relates to envelope, affects lift properties and ev. view from the cabin.
angleOfIndicence = -2*3.1415/180; // Buzzard
C
cabinOpening
Once the engine shut down, opens the cabin using "..." animation source.
cabinOpening = 1; // Caesar BTT or A-164 Wipeout
cabinOpening = 0; // V-44 Blackfish
cargoCanEject
Allows the cargo passengers to jump out even if the aircraft is moving. Not a plane-specific value, but it is important to allow parachute jumps.
cargoCanEject = 1; // Cargo can eject
cargoCanEject = 0; // Cargo cannot eject
D
draconicForceXCoef
Force that affects the horizontal (X in model space) component of its velocity vector. Low values together with strong rudder authority will lead to skidding.
draconicForceXCoef = 7.4; // A-164 Wipeout
draconicForceXCoef = 7.5; // Caesar BTT
draconicForceXCoef = 15; // V-44 Blackfish
draconicForceYCoef
Force that affects the vertical (Y in model space) component of its velocity vector. Bigger values allow for faster and sharper elevator turns.
draconicForceYCoef = 3; // A-164 Wipeout
draconicForceYCoef = 1; // Caesar BTT
draconicForceYCoef = 0.5; // V-44 Blackfish
draconicForceZCoef
Force that affects the forward (Z in model space) component of its velocity vector. Float
draconicForceZCoef = 0.1; // A-164 Wipeout
draconicForceZCoef = 2.5; // Caesar BTT
draconicForceZCoef = 0.2; // V-44 Blackfish
draconicTorqueXCoef
Force that keeps the airplane aligned according to a horizontal (X in model space) component of its velocity vector (model space). Makes the airplane turn in banked flight, affects how fast lower wing in a knife flight drops. Bigger values also need to be balanced by a stronger rudder authority and draconicForceXCoef, otherwise the player won't be able to control the airplane in yaw. Good balancing with rudderCoef and draconicForceXCoef will allow good yaw authority in leveled flight, but disallow a sustained knife flight or too good turning just by using the rudder.
Can be also defined as an array.
draconicTorqueXCoef = 1.2; // A-164 Wipeout
draconicTorqueXCoef[] = // Caesar BTT
{
14.0, // 0 %
12.0, // 15 %
11.2, // 30 %
10.6, // 45 %
9.9, // 60 %
9.6, // 75 %
9.7, // 90 %
10.5, // 105 %
11.0, // 120 %
11.5, // 135 %
12.0 // 150 %
};
draconicTorqueYCoef
Force that keeps the airplane aligned according to a vertical (Y in model space) component of its velocity vector. Makes the airplane go nose up when climbing and nose down when there's not enough lift. Should be strong enough to make the aircraft go nose down in stall conditions as Arma does not simulate stalling of wings individually. Bigger values also need to be balanced by a stronger elevator authority and draconicForceYCoef, otherwise the player won't be able to control the airplane in pitch.
Can be also defined as an array.
draconicTorqueYCoef = 3; // A-164 Wipeout
draconicTorqueYCoef[] = // Caesar BTT
{
7.0, // 0 %
6.3, // 15 %
4.0, // 30 %
3.3, // 45 %
3.0, // 60 %
2.7, // 75 %
2.5, // 90 %

2.1, // 120 %
1.9, // 135 %
1.8 // 150 %
