C-101 AVIOJET
SYSTEMS SIMULATION OVERVIEW


Hi everyone!

We are very excited to make this announcement regarding the C-101! The following is an overview of the systems modelling.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
* All relays, switches and breakers modelled
* All busses modelled with complete switching logic
* Battery drains under load without generator or external power connected (WIP)
* Accurate electrical loads by electrical consumers (the more you try and run on the battery, the quicker it fails) WIP
* Systems highly granular, with sub-systems tied to their respective bus and associated circuit breaker

AIR DATA COMPUTER
* Highly accurate air data simulation
* ASI simulates effects of compressibility and effects due to angle of attack
* VSI has lagged response
* Mach meter
* Organic simulation of blocked pitot and static systems - results in accurate "down stream" behavior of altimeter, VSI and ASI without special programming (WIP)

HYDRAULIC SYSTEM
* All flight controls dependent upon availability of hydraulic pressure (current SFM limitation means that aileron, elevator, and rudder operate regardless of configuration)
* Hydraulic system manual reversion accurately simulated (WIP)
* Flight controls accurately drain system pressure

PRESSURIZATION/AIR CONDITIONING
* Pressurization schedule accurately modelled
* Pressurization affects oxygen usage
* Incorrect configuration leads to pilot blackout (WIP)
* Canopy fogging reacts to ambient conditions/"cold soak" (WIP)

OXYGEN SYSTEM
* Affected by cockpit pressurization
* Accurate usage based upon conditions
* Normal and high flow modelled (WIP)
* Oxygen affected by crew member count (WIP)

NAVIGATION SYSTEM
* VOR, ILS and TACAN accurately modelled
* "Cone of silence", and range vs. altitude determine reception area
* Each beacon characteristics accurate to their type
* TACAN test mode fully modelled, including failure states
* Terrain masking (WIP)

TARSYN SYSTEM
* Highly accurate start-up/shutdown
* Effects of maneuvering/acceleration introduce errors
* Highly accurate self-erect function with inhibit modes implemented
* Independent vertical and horizontal gyros
* Manual modes fully implemented

ALTIMETER
* Effect of blocked static port (WIP)
* Vibrator modelled with ability to tap glass (WIP)
* Needle will stick if vibrator failed/no power

BACKUP INSTRUMENTS
* Turn coordinator and slip ball will react correctly on the ground
* Turn coordinator will topple if start-up time not observed
* Attitude indicator errors implemented

FUEL SYSTEM
* Fuel system fully modelled
* Inverted fuel tank simulated and reacts to g and NOT aircraft attitude
* All fuel tanks correct modelled with complete fuel transfer system and auto logic, as well as manual modes
* Mis-configuration of fuel system can lead to fuel starvation and engine flame-out
* Fuel quantity indicator system fully modelled
* All functions tied to their respective busses and circuit breakers

ENGINE SYSTEM
* Engine start/stop logic fully implemented
* Engine ignition system auto/continuous mode fully modelled
* Engine flame outs under certain conditions modelled
* Engine failure if abused/limits exceeded (WIP)

NAVIGATION RADIO HEAD
* VOR test mode implemented (WIP)
* Display test mode
* Display dimmer/OFF implemented
* Independent of nav radio - can fail independently

VHF RADIO HEAD
* Display test mode
* Display dimmer/OFF implemented
* Blinks on invalid frequency selection
* Independent of comm radio - can fail independently

TACAN RADIO HEAD
* Test mode implemented
* TACAN X band implemented
* TACAN able to tune any valid DME source from VOR/ILS/DME in addition to TACAN/DME
* Independent of TACAN radio - can fail independently

DME RECEIVER
* Independent DME receiver can fail independently

MORSE CODE IDENTS
* All beacon types include correct frequency of tone, keying rate, repeat rate, and interleave
* Audio panel WIP

COCKPIT LIGHTING
* Cockpit lighting integrated into model
* Accurate area illumination (within limits of renderer)
* All lights independently modelled (single lights can burn out/fail)
* All lights tied to correct dimmers/switches

EXTERIOR LIGHTING
* All external lighting independently modelled (except formation lights)
* Individual lights can fail (except formation lights)
* All lights tied to correct switches
* Multi-stage lighting

ADDITIONAL EXTERNAL ANIMATIONS
* Boarding ladders
* Wheel chock
* Pilots helmet(s)
* GPU (when requested)

ADDITIONAL INTERNAL ANIMATIONS
* Boarding ladders
* Helmet (WIP)
* GPU All systems are tied to their respective busses, and circuit breaker(s) where installed.

Items marked as WIP are experimental, may be missing, broken, or will not make it into the final product.

THIS LIST IS NOT EXHAUSTIVE, AND EVERYTHING IS SUBJECT TO CHANGE.

We hope you enjoyed reading some of the key features of the C-101 systems and depth of modelling. We aim to bring you the highest fidelity systems simulation possible, thanks to advice and feedback from our real-world pilots and maintenance technicians. We are extremely grateful for their help.

Best regards,
Tango.
