ROCAF F16 and F16 Flying Tiger repaints (for Flightsim Squadron F16) v1.0
Disclaimer :
The two liveries are just repaints. You also need to download the airplane from https://flightsim-squadron.itch.io/flightsim-aircraft in order to fly it.
Repaint A : The 401st Wing of ROCAF (Hualian, Taiwan)
Repaint B : The fly tiger painting for honoring the Victory of 815 Air Combat and the inheritage of the blood of the 5th American-ROCAF Composite Group (Flying tiger team)
The history :
The Airforce 401st Tactical Composite Wing (former, 5th Tactical Group) of ROCAF (Taiwan) is the ace figher for the free world.
In WW2, it had created a record of 1:10 shot down in it’s first fight against the Axis Empirors’ airforce..
However, with the inferior of the number in comparison with the Axises, all the pilots were sacrificed during the war in Asia. Not even one of them survived at their young age.
American veteran joined the war with the ROCAF and a composite group of the famous “Free Fighters of Flying Tigers” was form, which is the 5th Group of the ROCAF. The airplane they used was the P40 Warhawk. (It could be my next project as the stock flying tiger does not look like what I had witnessed in the real life.)
During the cold war, on August 14th, 1956, the 5th Group shot down 21 PLA MiG-17s during the air combat against the communist China (PRC) and sucessfully protected Taiwan at the front line of the Red Iron Curtain.
The Flying Tiger painting of F16 was to hornor both the inheritage of the US + ROCAF composite (the flying tiger team) and the victory of 814 air combat. The painting do exist in the real world for some time.
Installation :
Make sure you download the F16 from the website https://flightsim-squadron.itch.io/flightsim-aircraft
Unzip the liveries and put the two folders together with the airplane folder (1 main, 2 liveries, 3 folders in total) into your Community folder
Tricks to fly the Flightsim Squadron F16 with great pleasure :
1. You are allowed to operate the landing gear ONLY below the speed of 140 knots. Please do not keep it down in high speed, it could be damaged but you won’t see it.
2. The brake, rolling wheels, flaps, and spoilers are not animated, but they do exist, memorize the status of your airplane.
3. The airplane is unrealistically superior in aerodynamics :
A. At the runway, it will automatically warn up and take off with throttle, it takes about 30 seconds to warn up.
B. 50% throttle to take off. After departure, make sure littie or no throttle if you would like to have a smooth flight.
C. If you want aecrobatics, it surely will serve you well. But the G force damage do exist, beware of the risk.
D. The stall aerospeed is 80 knots around, you can do STOL or even a carrier without the catapult and strap add on with this beast.
E. The steering angle of the wheel is very narrow, be careful whilst taxing. (the steering angle can be enlarged in higher taxi speed if you know how to modify the steering related parameters in the flight model)
4. The pink stripes at the pilot name’s area do not belong to the livery. It’s the material setting of the aircraft. (I can remove it, but I am not allowed as I was not the creator of this plane)
