 +====== Falcon4.ct ====== 
 + 
 +**Falcon4.ct** 
 + 
 +The Ct is the class table entity data files. Every object needs a ct linked to it whether it is a weapon, vehicle, feature or unit . 
 + 
 +How you setup the ct fields is very important to proper working item being added . 
 + 
 +Domain = here you setup what domain your object is in (air, land, sea , abstract etc) .note abstract is a 2d entity . 
 + 
 +Class = Here we set what class our entity (weapon ,  vehicle, unit, objective, feature ​ etc ) 
 + 
 +Type, Subtype , specific = these all make up what type of entity . 
 + 
 +It is best to always copy a working Domain, class, type, subtype and specific fields of the same type of object or it just won't work . Then you can set specific to next free value (specific values are generally just numbered 1, 2, 3 etc for all same type of object ). 
 + 
 +Note. there is some hard-coding were you might have to make specific same as another so certain features work for that object (example aim120 you added with new specific but now no AI calls are heard . 
 + 
 +File type = same as class type only this can setup if object is abstract/2d or 3d object . 
 + 
 +File offset = this needs to point back to original linked ct . 
 + 
 +Alt offset = this links to certain linked data according to object type . weapon alt offset = SWD,  and vehicle alt offset = ACD data 
 + 
 +Graphic values = here we set parent# to various parent types linked to graphic data . 
 + 
 +Normal = here your "​normal"​ parent # (what shows up in 3d) 
 + 
 +Damaged = Here damaged models can be linked 
 + 
 +Destroyed = Here a destroy models can be linked . 
 + 
 +Repaired = Here shadows can be linked for vehicles(aircraft) and weapons . 
 + 
 +Bubble size = This is used to set bubble size (used in flight unit ct, objective ct , taskforce ct and Battalion ct )

 +Ct record = This is ct# linked to the vehicle .
 +
 +Radar pointer = this is radar linked to vehicle (make sure it matches ACD radar # )
 +
 +NCTR = This is what number shows up on the NCTR when it figures out aircraft .
 +
 +IR sig = this is IR sig value for aircraft .
 +
 +RCS = this is radar sig value  (based off F16=1.0 )
 +
 +Vis sig = This is the visual sig factor for aircraft .
 +
 +MTOW = this is maxim weight with fuel + weapons (max weight for takeoff )
 +
 +Empty weight = this is empty weight with no fuel weapon loadout .
 +
 +Fuel = this is how many LB aircraft holds internally .
 +
 +Fuel rate = Lb/hr 
 +
 +Hitpoint = how many points to destroy (note this depends on damage type %)
 +
 +Max alt = this is maximum alt for this vehicle .
 +
 +Min alt = This is min alt for this vehicle .
 +
 +Cruise alt = this is avg cruise alt for this vehicle .
 +
 +Max speed = this is avg max speed for this vehicle .
 +
 +Engine noise = this is what sound is linked to "​running"​ vehicle .
 +
 +Crew = this is how many crew (mainly for when they eject for aircraft )
 +
 +**Stats**
 +
 +Here you setup stat data for various object types (static, wheeled, foot, tracked, low air, air etc )
 +Most of this will be transferred from weapon data like hitpoints and range . Detection range is how far electronic detection can go for this vehicle against target types .
 +
 +**Damage**
 +
 +Here you can set % of what type of warhead will damage this vehicle .
 +
 +
 +**Hardpoints/​weapons**
 +
 +Here you can add all weapons and counts for each slot/HP .
 +
 +You can also setup whether the weapon and rack will be visible in 3d world . (note clicking on hardpoint data is linking to WLD files ).
 +
 +**Flags**
 +
 +Here you can setup various feature options the vehicle can have . Like airforce, army , Navy , night, all-weather,​ stealth, has chaff/​flares,​ can burn , can explode , has jammer , Has exact RWR , is air-defence,​ has HMS , etc
