ChangesBack to Top

The following keys have been added:

    Shift W - deletes waypoint 1
    ` (tilda) - cycles weapons

    This version loads the custom.ini file and alters the settings it finds specified.
    You must alter the custom.ini file (text) in order for your preferences to take effect.

The following describes the alterable settings contained in custom.ini and their effects:

    ReverseCollective= FALSE Options: TRUE or FALSE.
    TRUE reverses the joystick collective value.

    HatPanHorzSensitivity= 1.0
    HatPanVertSensitivity= 1.0
    These settings control the panning rate from the joystick hat switch. They are a multiplier of the current 15 degrees/second pan rate.

The following settings effect the sensitivity of the flight control values:

    RudderSensitivity= 1.0
    CollectiveSensitivity= 1.0
    CyclicLeftRightSensitivity= 1.0
    CyclicForwardBackSensitivity= 1.0

These settings specify the keyboard increment of the tail rotor and collective values:

    RudderKeyIncrement= 32 // 32 out of +-128
    CollectiveKeyIncrement= 8 // 8 out of 256

    HoldOnMap= FALSE Options: TRUE or FALSE
    TRUE Prevents the computer pilot from entering waypoint mode when entering the map.

    FlareSalvo= 1 Options: 0- 64 equals number of flares launched with one keystroke.

    MousePan= TRUE options: TRUE or FALSE
    TRUE enables cockpit panning with mouse when left button pressed.

    MousePanHorzRate= 1.0
    MousePanVertRate= 1.0
    Scaling factors for rate of pan with mouse.

    ScalePanByZoom= TRUE options: TRUE or FALSE
    TRUE slows the panning rate based on cockpit zoom.

The following settings effect the flight model in realistic mode only They may be experimented with dynamically in the pilots cockpit as follows:

    SHIFT V toggles parameter list
    UP ARROW / DOWN ARROW highlight and select parameter to alter
    + and - keys alter parameter by 1/10 of original value
    These values are not saved- they must be entered in the flight file manually
    These values are internal game values and are not necessarily in any recognizable units

    GroundEffectFactor= 0.001 // larger values = more ground effect
    TransLiftFactor= 0.16 // larger values = more lift above 20 knots
    LoadFM= flt1.ini // This loads a text file with flight model values - described below
    [ApacheFlightModel] // block for helo to modify - in this case AH64's
    Ycg= -0.03 // effects amount of restoring torque from roll
    YawDrag= 5.0 // yaw rate dampening factor
    TailRotorForce= 0.15 // side force from tail rotor
    TailTrim= 0.10 // tail rotor force neutral value
    RotorTorque= 0.12 // rotor torque factor "yaw"
    TailPlane= 0.001 // Tail restoring "lift" factor from forward velocity
    SideSlip= 5.5 // side slip torque restoring factor "yaw"
