Aircraft FM changes: (by prae)

to preface, instructor in 2.58 was changed a little bit so most canard aircraft will generally try to pull to their rip G (with the Gripen being an exception and staying more or less unchanged), instead of as on live pulling more than their rip G (such as J-10A being able to pull 14-15+ G at some points on min fuel and high speed but having a 13 G wing strength, which in initial dev used to pull 9 G at high speed). It affected some delta aircraft negatively as well. It did not address canard aircraft not ripping at higher than their stated wing overloads, however, so it’ll still be possible to maintain above those wing strength Gs without ripping with other control modes (realistic, full realistic) with those aircraft. This change is not exactly possible to datamine as it’s not something that changed anything in the files we datamine, but it’s worth a mention to put context to some of these changes
Eurofighter (P1Ea) [DEU], Eurofighter (P4E) [DEU], F-2000A (P4E), Typhoon F.G.R. Mk. 4 (P1Ea), Typhoon F.G.R. Mk. 4 (P4E):
adjusted instructor overload limit, now will target pulling 1.05 rip G at all speeds instead of previously: 0.95 rip G <M0.9, 0.92 rip g >M0.9
F-35 (WDNS), J 35A, J 35D, J 35J, Saab 35 S ("J 35XS"):
adjusted instructor overload limit, now will target pulling 0.92 rip G at all speeds instead of previously: 0.69 rip G @ M0.6, 0.92 rip G @ M0.85
J-10A:
adjusted instructor overload limit, now will target pulling 0.95 rip G at all speeds instead of previously 0.85 rip G
J-10C:
elevator controller sensitivity from 0.8 to .87
adjusted instructor overload limit, now will target pulling 1.15 rip G at all speeds instead of previously 0.8 rip G
M2000-5 EGM, M-2000-5 [CHN], Mirage 2000 C S4, Mirage 2000 C S5, Mirage 2000 D R1, Mirage 2000 D RMV, Mirage 2000-5 F:
adjusted instructor overload limit, now will target pulling 0.99 rip G at all speeds instead of previously: 0.8 rip G @ M0.75, 0.92 rip G @ M0.85
lowered overload time rate from 0.0145 to 0.0045, leading to instructor commanding slightly quicker G onset
Mirage III C, Mirage III CJ, Mirage III E:
adjusted instructor overload limit, now will target pulling 1.15 rip G at all speeds instead of previously: 0.67 rip G @ M0.6, 0.92 rip G @ M0.85
Mirage III S (KAWEST 85)
adjusted instructor critical AoA multiplier, now will target pulling 21 instead of 24 degrees AoA
adjusted instructor overload limit, now will target pulling 1.15 rip G at all speeds instead of previously: 0.82 rip G @ M0.8, 0.92 rip G @ M0.85
Mirage 5 BA, Mirage 5 F, Nesher:
slightly increased wing strength from 12.14 G to 12.44 G (30% fuel, no load)
elevator controller sensitivity multiplier at M0.8 increased from 0.9 to 1
adjusted instructor overload limit, now will target pulling 1.15 rip G at all speeds instead of previously: 0.67 rip G @ M0.6, 0.92 rip G @ M0.85
Mirage 4000:
adjusted instructor overload limit, now will target pulling 0.99 rip G at all speeds instead of previously: 0.85 rip G <M0.85, 0.92 rip G >M0.85
lowered overload time rate from 0.0145 to 0.0045, leading to instructor commanding slightly quicker G onset
Rafale C (F3R), Rafale EG, Rafale M (F3R):
adjusted instructor overload limit, now will target pulling 1 rip G at all speeds instead of previously: 0.95 rip G <M0.9, 0.92 rip g >M0.9
