# REBalanced – FIR F-16

1. Performance Config
Changes aircraft config based on real aircraft data including engine thrust, maneuverability, fuel quantity and more. Most noticeably takeoff and landing speed is higher at around 140knots, or 260km/h. Not only that but overall performance including energy conservation during turn and high-AOA performance are also affected.

2. Improved AB System
Instead of legacy AB system engaged via user action, REB automatically engages AB when throttle is over 90%. Plus, to simulate realistic AB performance including thrust and fuel consumption, when AWESome Aerodynamics is enabled AWESome calculates appropriate thrust and fuel consumption and applies that to your aircraft. This calculation is disabled when AWESome Aerodynamics is disabled, giving higher thrust all times including when AB is turned off and applies military power fuel consumption during AB.

3. Improved HUD System
Legacy HUD showed units in km/h and meters, but new HUD shows in knots and feet. Machmeter in HMD is also fixed, showing proper value when in supersonic speed. Speed and altitude bars are also modified to more resemble real-life aircraft HUD.

4. Improved Vehicle Info Panel
Vehicle info panel located in left-top now shows more information including external fuel, AB status and hook position. Unlike legacy system where you cannot exactly determine your internal and external fuel quantity, external fuel is now displayed in orange color, making the pilot to know when to drop external fuel tank. AB status and hook position are displayed on lower right corner of the panel with small icons.

Special thanks to TeTeT for allowing the use of Super Hornet mod’s icon resources (AB and hook). TeTeT’s mods offer realistic Super Hornet and USS Nimitz, so if you’re interested in realism be sure to check out his mods.
