F4-BMS 2.0 Technical Manual
TEF Scheduling
The F/A-18 aircraft now have the trailing edge flaps scheduled per the -1 manual. The TEFs will
deploy and retract based on both AOA and Mach.
Speedbrakes
The F/A-18 A-D model aircraft will now auto retract the speedbrake when aircraft g is 6 or
greater, AOA is greater than 28, or the gear are down and airspeed is below 250 knots.
Engines
The F/A-18 engines will now spool up to full MIL power when at Mach 1.23 or greater.

F-14
The F-14 series of aircraft have the following improvements
New NAV HUD
The HUD layout for the F-14 is now partially modeled. The player will find:
¿ Vertical velocity indicator above altitude.
¿ Alpha, Mach, G, Peak G moved to their correct locations.
¿ AOA bracket set for (13-17 degrees AOA). The alpha display will blank out when the
gear is down and FPM is in bracket range. Furthermore, the cockpit AOA indicator lights
will now match the correct F18 AOA range
¿ Peak Gs will only display if greater than 4 g’s are pulled. If less than 4 g's are pulled, the
g display will be removed when the gear are lowered.
¿ Mach display is removed when the gear is lowered.
¿ Waterline indicator that appears whenever the FPM is constrained or the gear is
lowered.
Flap Warning
The F-14 does not have an automatic flap retraction system. If the flaps are extended past 10
degrees and the airspeed is greater than 225 knots, a RDC SPEED warning is flashed on the
HUD. This warning will also appear when a maximum airspeed of Mach 2.4 is exceeded.
