DeltaTweak 0.2 - Tweaked by Spectre6

This is a simple modification of the DeltaGlider's Aerodynamics so it is possible to execute reentry at 40 degrees AoA.

This modification is very different from version 0.1a

My goal with this tweak was to simulate a 'fly-by-wire' system.
You will find that the control profile is very neutral, and commanding almost any AoA is very easy to do. You can fine tune with Trim.

The lift and drag charicteristics of the DG remain unchanged, so you will be able to glide and have the same crossrange ability as the stock DG. But you will also be able to take advantage of the high drag that steep AoA provides.

This control profile is very very stable. You will find the glider has outstanding control during re-entry. I found the controls in the atmosphere to be slightly sluggish, but this helped me maintain energy.

Please give me feedback! Ill keep releasing mods like this if I can keep getting feedback on what to improve!

The main file is DeltaGlider.dll, but i have also included deltaglider.ld which is a lift/drag profile for aerobrakemfd.

*PLEASE BACKUP YOUR OLD DELTAGLIDER.LD FIRST!*

Review:
This should come with the default Orbitersim package. Unbelivible job! Perfectly balanced even at 80 m/s. Would be nice to have something similar for the Atlantis .

Any chance of this being updated to Orbiter 2010?

I was thinking about trying this out, but when I downloaded the archive, Windows 7 gave me the following error:

I deleted the file and re-downloaded it (just in case), but I got the error again after re-downloading.

Also, I noticed this file dates all the way back to 2006. Does anyone know if it's even compatible with 2010 P1?

I had no download problems, but have not take it for a spin yet. Doing so now.

Good to know.

Wonder why you were able to unzip it and I couldn't? Moot point though I suppose.

The archive file was given wrong file extension. It's RAR compressed archive, not a ZIP archive. If you rename it to "deltatweak02.rar" and you have a RAR archive extractor, you can extract it without problems.

Or just get 7-zip. it can open .rar files no problem. I use it all the time.

The problem isn't that this is a .rar file, but that its extension is .zip, and not .rar, which it should be. Although 7-zip doesn't care about file extension but about file contents, it isn't an excuse for giving RAR files .zip extensions, because 7-zip will open them anyway, because it understands both ZIP and RAR file structure.

Delta tweak 0.2

This mod works like a charm in Orbiter 2015 beta. Thanks to this, I can now do a good reentry procedure, without any hassle. Thank you!
