ChicanePusherLab v1.0.48 — Live cfg editing + tuned nacelle

What's new

F1 live-update for visual cfg (v1.0.45)

Every visual cfg knob (nacelle geometry, material/UV, prop transforms/scales,
spin timings, ibis rotor visual) now live-updates through the BepInEx
ConfigurationManager (F1 in-game). No F5, no respawn — edit the value, the
chicane mesh regenerates in place. HUD, MFD, tail-rotor binding, and the
pusher follower are preserved across edits.

Per-section asymmetric hex controls (v1.0.46–v1.0.48)

Three new layers of control over each hex cross-section (rear + mid) for
sculpting the tail-duct geometry:

  • Per-section pair X-scales — RearTopPairScale, RearBottomPairScale,
    MidTopPairScale, MidBottomPairScale. Multiply the X coordinate of an
    upper or lower pair per section. Defaults 1.0.
  • Per-vertex X offsets — RearTopLeftOffsetX / …RightOffsetX /
    …BottomLeftOffsetX / …BottomRightOffsetX and same for mid. Additive
    local-X meters per individual non-pointy vertex. Lets each vertex shift
    laterally on its own, asymmetric. Defaults 0.0.
  • Per-pair Y offsets — RearTopPairOffsetY, RearBottomPairOffsetY,
    MidTopPairOffsetY, MidBottomPairOffsetY. Symmetric within the pair,
    additive local-Y meters. Lift/lower the "shoulder" or "haunch" lines of
    the duct. Defaults 0.0.

All 16 new knobs are live-updateable via F1 — drag the value, watch the mesh
morph.

Flight-tuned defaults

The nacelle shape, mid station, and prop axial position have been re-tuned via
the F1 workflow and the new values are baked as the v1.0.48 defaults. Migrations
are gated by exact old-default match — anyone who'd already moved off the old
defaults keeps their values.

Carries forward from v1.0.42

  • 3-anchor pusher thrust curve (kN at V=0, mid, cliff) — actuator-disc base
  • Transmission tier allocator with throttle clamp
  • Dimensional Comanche body-drag derivation
  • Lateral trim flight-tuned across loadouts
  • Cockpit overspeed warning lifted to 530 kph (chicane-scoped Harmony patch)
  • Pusher prop spin-down on damage: 3 s gunfire, 1 s ground-strike / tail-sever
  • All diagnostic toggles default OFF per release rules

Top speeds

  • 425 kph winged, 16× AGM-48 + 24× Kingpin
  • 510 kph wingless, 24× Kingpin in bay
