A message from the C.O.
It‟s now 3.51am on Wednesday 20th April 2011... :)

After over four months of development the IRIS F-22 Raptor is ready to take to the skies!

Thanks to the success of our inaugural Platinum Series product, the A-10 Warthog, we
were all very enthusiastic about bringing a long requested product into the FS scene once
more... None of this would be possible without the fantastic team of developers who put
this all together.

The team consisted of a wide variety of individuals who I‟ll mention here;

Marv Mays, 3D guru extraordinaire... This gentleman runs www.meshfactory.com of which

I‟ve been a happy purchaser for a few years now... This product is a testament to the
quality of the work he produces..

Nicholas Dackard, Artist - Nick comes from established roots at RAZBAM, Vertigo Studios
and other established companies and has provided all the artwork and UV Mapping for the
A-10A.

Matthew Wynn, Artist - Matt was responsible for providing the various schemes you see on
the F-22 and as usual worked around the clock coming up to release... Keep an eye our for
Matt‟s own F-22 add-on texture pack coming soon.

Pamela Brooker, Flight Dynamics - Pam and her team at Jade Island Flight Test Center
(JFTC) have been providing superior quality flight models to IRIS for a number of years
now and naturally they did us proud once again with the F-22 Raptor.

Doug Dawson, Audio Code - Doug kindly provided us with the authorization to make use of
his fantastic XML sound gauge allowing us to bring to this project the invaluable ability to
provide custom in cockpit audio. Thank you Doug. :)

Kevin Ash, Stephanie Lessentine & Mark A. Milberry, Voice Actors - Whilst not actors per-
se, Kevin, Stephanie and Mark all gave their voices to the various cockpit parts given to
them by me. Their dulcet tones will no doubt accompany you on your flights, be they in
combat or peacetime. :)

I for one brought my talents back to the audio elements, modeling elements and system
simulation of the F-22 Raptor in addition to other fun tasks which come with the title of
head chef and bottle washer!

Lastly I would like to thank our followers on Facebook for providing their feedback on
many questions relating to the F-22 development and what they‟d like to see…

Quick-start & Tactile usage
QUICKSTART INSTRUCTIONS

We all realize that so many armchair joystick jockeys (that‟s you!) may not have
time or necessarily the patience to go through a lengthy start-up procedure every
time you want a flight… with that in mind, we have incorporated the „Q‟ system
into the aircraft.

The Q-Start and Q-Cut-off systems will rapidly set your aircraft up for flight or
shut it down as necessary, sparing you time and effort!

Below is a simplified checklist for the Q-Start and Q-Cut-off system.

1. Left mouse-click the BATT switch to the ON position.

2. On the left console, left mouse-click and hold the APU switch into the „START‟
position until the green „APU‟ light illuminates.

3. Press the „OTH‟ key on the ICP (Integrated Control Panel).

4. Left mouse-click the Arrow pushbutton next to Q-Start to start the aircraft up,
or Q-Cut-off to shut the aircraft down.

The F-22 Raptor tactile usage of switches and knobs

In general, a LEFT mouse-click (LC) places a switch AWAY from the pilot and a
rotary selector COUNTER CLOCKWISE.
A RIGHT mouse-click (RC) places a switch TOWARDS the pilot and a rotary
selector CLOCKWISE.

In some circumstances this does not apply, but the majority of switches and knobs
operate in this fashion.

Ground attack in FSX!
As pioneered in our PC-9 software, we have also included the option to drop
GBU-31 Joint Direct Attack Munitions (JDAM) from the F-22 Raptor in this package.

We recommend you follow the instructions contained in this document to set up

your own customized ground attack situation in Flight Simulator X.

1. Create a situation in FSX with your favourite IRIS F-22 Raptor Strike Mission
model at the airfield of your choice.

2. Save the situation as a name of your choice. (i.e. F-22 Bombing Test)
Close Flight Simulator X and navigate to your;
‘My Documents/Flight Simulator X Files’ folder.

3. In that folder you should see a file with the name of your saved situation
followed by an .flt suffix. As I named my situation ‟F-22 Bombing Test‟ my
saved file I would look for is ‟F-22 Bombing Test.flt‟

4. Open the required .flt file in notepad.

5. Scroll to the very bottom of the notepad document and copy the following
text in;

[DroppableObjects.0]
ObjectSet.0=GBU-31 JDAM, 2

7. The number at the end of ‟GBU-31 JDAM‟ corresponds to the amount of bombs
carried. For accuracy, I‟ve gone with two, however you can adjust the number
to suit your needs.

8. Once you‟ve pasted the text into your document, save the file and reload the
situation in Flight Simulator X.

You should now find that you‟re sitting at the airfield of your choice in the F-22
Raptor you chose with an onscreen indication that you‟re carrying GBU-31 JDAM
bombs.

To drop the bombs, you need to assign a joystick switch or keyboard command to
the „release droppable objects‟ command in Flight Simulator X.

Whilst you can add bombs to any saved file, only when you have a 5000lb station
load in the „Bay Load‟ entry from within the FSX payload manager screen will dis-
play the model which has the bombs disappear from the rack as you drop them.

8
SP1/SP2 users please note
This product has been developed for Microsoft Flight Simulator X with the
Acceleration Expansion pack installed.

Whilst every effort has been made to ensure accurate compatibility with FSX: Ser-
vice Pack 1 and Service Pack 2, to get the very best from this simulation, we
strongly recommend the use of Microsoft Flight Simulator‟s Acceleration Expansion
Pack.

This product is NOT compatible with RTM (off the shelf) versions of Microsoft
Flight Simulator X, with the exception of the „Gold Edition‟ which features
Acceleration built in.

Section 1. Cockpit Overview
Item indexing method

The following pages will outline the switches and where possible, the functions
and systems relating to them of the IRIS Platinum Series F-22 Raptor.

Each subsystem is colour coded for easy identification and this colour coded
indexing method will follow across the for standardization.

The indexing method is set up as follows;

Cockpit-Console-Colour-Number

For example: CP-LC-B-1 would correspond to;

(Cockpit (CP))-(Left-hand Inner Console (LC))-(Blue (B))-(Item 1)

The abbreviations are as follows;

Section 1. - Cockpit
CP - Cockpit

Section 2. - Consoles
LC - Left-hand console (farthest from pilot)
ICP - Integrated Control Panel
RC - Right-hand console
SMFD - Secondary Multi-Function Display (Left/Center/Right)
PMFD - Primary Multi-Function Display
UFD - Up -front Display (Left and Right)

Section 3. - Colours
R - Red
B - Blue
O - Orange

Section 1. Cockpit Overview
F-22 Cockpit Layout

The IRIS F-22 Raptor cockpit layout is based on currently publicly available mate-
rial sourced from various forums, videos and image searches.

As this is based on a variety of different sources, and that the aircraft is highly
classified, you will find that the aircraft systems are based very loosely on our in-
terpretation of publicly available information.

The image below shows the F-22 cockpit in virtual cockpit mode. A more detailed
description of the highlighted sections can be found on the following pages.

Whilst we have made every effort to make all the switches and controls
functional in the F-22 Raptor, due to the limitations of the software, and/or avail-
ability of source material some systems may not be replicated at this time.

In those instances, whilst some of the switches will be clickable for procedural
purposes, they will have no effect in the simulation.

In instances where a system has no effect on the simulation, we have marked the
system description as (INOP).

TAKEOFF

Throttles... ...MAX
Engine instruments... ...Check

NOTE:
During takeoff, maintain directional control using the nose-wheel steering until the
flight controls become effective. At approximately 10 knots below computed takeoff
speed, apply back pressure to the stick to begin establishing a takeoff attitude by
increasing the pitch attitude to 10 degrees.

CROSSWIND TAKEOFF

Crosswind produces a tendency to weather-vane (turn into the wind), and will tend to
raise the upwind wing. Slight aileron into the wind will keep wings level, and moderate
rudder inputs will be required to maintain track on the runway centreline.

AFTER TAKEOFF AND INITIAL CLIMB

Maintain takeoff pitch attitude during acceleration to climb speed. When safely airborne,
retract the landing gear and at a minimum of 10 knots above takeoff speed, retract the
flaps. Set power and pitch attitude as necessary to maintain climb.

FLIGHT

There is no requirement for the pilot to refer to the checklist during normal flight in the A
-10. During climb out, after level off and at frequent intervals, the pilot should check his
engine instruments as well as his fuel, cabin pressurization , and oxygen status. The cor-
rect altimeter setting should be used for each phase of the flight. The canopy defog and
rain removal systems should be used as required to ensure visibility out of the aircraft.

INSTRUMENT APPROACHES

STRAIGHT IN APPROACH

Establish a final approach configuration and air speed and descent as required to reach a
point 1 mile from the desired touchdown point at 300 feet above the ground. Final ap-
proach from this point is the same as for a normal pattern.

CIRCLING APPROACH

Circling approach prior to final is accomplished using on-speed AOA indication at 155/165
KIAS minimum flaps DN/UP (add 2 knots per 1,000 pounds above 30,000 pounds), landing
gear DOWN, and speed brakes extended.

BEFORE LANDING

Refer to section 7 for landing gross weight and crosswind limitations. Determine minimum
final turn/base leg and final approach speed based on intended configuration, gross
weight, and crosswind/gust conditions.

After configuring, check cockpit indicators to ensure intended configuration and check
that the landing lights are on.

In the final turn and on final approach, fly on-speed AOA, but no slower than computed
airspeed.

49
Section 8. Normal Procedures
LANDING

When landing is assured, retard throttle slowly to IDLE. Touchdown speed for normal
landing is 10 knots less than final approach airspeed.

Landing in gusts procedure is the same as for normal landing except, add one half of gust
factor to final approach and touchdown speeds. The gust factor is the difference between
the average wind and gust wind speeds. If the average wind is 20 knots with gusts to 30
knots the gust factor would be 10 knots; add 5 knots to the final approach and touchdown
speeds.

TOUCH AND GO

After touchdown, smoothly advance both throttles and retract the speed brakes. The nose
wheel may or may not contact the runway, depending on aircraft speed.

Close attention to directional control is required after touchdown, due to possible uneven
engine acceleration and crosswinds. The rotation attitude for takeoff should be similar to
a normal takeoff.

Landing and takeoff speed should be computed prior to landing.

MISSED APPROACH

Should conditions dictate the execution of a missed approach, set throttles as required,
close speed brakes, raise gear and flaps, and establish and instrument takeoff attitude. If
subsequent instrument approaches are to be flown, set power to maintain 200-250 KIAS
and a rate of climb not less than 1,000 feet/minute. When the desired missed approach
altitude is reached, level off and maintain 200-250 KIAS.

AFTER LANDING

Maintain directional control using aileron and rudder as long as they remain effective, and
then transition to nose-wheel steering or differential braking. If available runway does
not
require maximum braking, speed can be reduced by aerodynamic braking or by extending
speed brakes. Following aerodynamic braking, smoothly lower the nose to the runway
prior to loss of elevator effectiveness.

When the nose-wheel touches down, do not attempt to raise it again. Speed brake
effectiveness decreases rapidly with airspeed reduction.

After touchdown:

Section 9. Air to Air Refueling
AIR TO AIR REFUELING

As implemented in the F-14 Tomcat, we have included an option for in-flight refu-
eling with the F-22 Raptor.

To refuel the aircraft mid-flight, the aircraft MUST meet the following conditions;

Pre-contact position;

 The aircraft must be between 14,050 feet and 15,050 feet ASL.
 The aircraft must be between 245 and 255 knots IAS.
 The aerial refueling door must be opened

If the above conditions are met, the aircraft will begin to refuel itself in 25% lots
every 96 seconds. This value is based on the stated fuel transfer rate.

Please note that in-flight refueling does not fill the external tanks.

Note:
These lights illuminate when the nose refuelling receptacle opens ready for
in-flight refuelling.

READY - Aircraft is ready to refuel, pilot must manoeuvre to

pre-contact position as indicated above.

LATCHED - Aircraft is currently fuelling, pilot must maintain current

height and speed.

DISCONNECT - Aircraft has disconnected, either by being full of

fuel or a failed fuel transfer attempt.

If the refuelling has failed, please close the refuelling door and open it again to
reset the fuelling system
