AChars - Aircraft Characteristics |
Right-click on the 'AChar' object label in the listview (left side) of the Scenario Editor. Select 'New' from the popup window.
GSGT establishes AChars based on the aircraft characteristics read from a site adaptation. The Turn Rate profile is generated from GSGT defaults. Adapted aircraft will be shown in GRAY and their attributes cannot be modified by GSGT. An AChars entry may be added for non-adapted aircraft and attributes will initially be generated from GSGT default values. All non-adapted aircraft are shown in BLUE and their attributes are editable.
