Description
# REBalanced - FIR F-16

1. Performance Config
Changes aircraft config based on real aircraft data including engine thrust, maneuverability, fuel quantity and more. Most noticeably takeoff and landing speed is higher at around 140knots, or 260km/h. Not only that but overall performance including energy conservation during turn and high-AOA performance are also affected.

2. Improved AB System
Instead of legacy AB system engaged via user action, REB automatically engages AB when throttle is over 90%. Plus, to simulate realistic AB performance including thrust and fuel consumption, when AWESome Aerodynamics is enabled AWESome calculates appropriate thrust and fuel consumption and applies that to your aircraft. This calculation is disabled when AWESome Aerodynamics is disabled, giving higher thrust all times including when AB is turned off and applies military power fuel consumption during AB.

3. Improved HUD System
Legacy HUD showed units in km/h and meters, but new HUD shows in knots and feet. Machmeter in HMD is also fixed, showing proper value when in supersonic speed. Speed and altitude bars are also modified to more resemble real-life aircraft HUD.

4. Improved Vehicle Info Panel
Vehicle info panel located in left-top now shows more information including external fuel, AB status and hook position. Unlike legacy system where you cannot exactly determine your internal and external fuel quantity, external fuel is now displayed in orange color, making the pilot to know when to drop external fuel tank. AB status and hook position are displayed on lower right corner of the panel with small icons.

Special thanks to TeTeT for allowing the use of Super Hornet mod’s icon resources (AB and hook). TeTeT’s mods offer realistic Super Hornet and USS Nimitz, so if you’re interested in realism be sure to check out his mods.

@Sky Clouding Yes, REBalanced relies on AWESome Aerodynamics for afterburner and external fuel tank handling.

Does this REQUIRE the AWESome mod?

@Orbis2358 thanks for the info

@Seperatist T It's 100% ok to use any reskin mods with this one, as REBalanced only works with aerodynamics not texture. Installing this mod will affect aerodynamics of all F-16 variants including the reskinned ones.

@Orbis2358,the mod is called Devas Turkish Air Force F-16 Pack

Hey @Orbis2358!I installed a Turkish F-16 mod that needs the base F-16 mod to run like this mod and the base mod of it is the same base of this mod.My question is if i download this,the Turkish F-16s get reskinned or just stays the same?

@Orbis2358 - Of course! Thankyou for the clarification and for understanding as well!

@CPT A. Skyried Both REBalanced and AWESome are licensed under CC BY-NC-SA 4.0, which allows modification of the code. Therefore uploading a all-in-one mod for REBalanced and AWESome on Steam or any private cloud for server modpack is allowed. Only requirements are:

1) BY: appropriate credit, provide a link to the license, and indicate if changes were made
2) NC: may not use the material for commercial purposes

for further details.

In a nutshell, just put my name on the credit for those mods and it should mostly be fine. I don't want to raise issues unless someone rips off the code and argue they created the mod - yeah this actually happened before.

@Orbis Understandable, no biggie; just a wishlist - since Aerodynamic labs does it in a way. What is your policy for derivatives and or packing (ie. all in one Rebalanced?)

@CPT A. Skyried For now the addon is on bug-fix only stage due to my IRL schedule, and moreover modifying the ejection related code can cause serious bugs when Firwill's mod gets updated. ATM I cannot afford to react in time to such bugs.
