1) It increases the fuel load to nearly full internal fuel -- the current default load-up only has 100 lbs of fuel onboard and thus runs out of gas after less than a minute of flight time.  Max internal fuel capacity was updated based on data obtained from the globalsecurity.org web site.

2) The outputs from the pitch damper, roll damper, and yaw damper FCS components defined in the XML config file are summed with the pilot commands on each axis, so the dampers actually contribute to the final control surface positioning (they didn't do anything previously).  This greatly improves the f15 model's "flyability", if that's a word.

I have dreams of someday trying to implement a reasonably accurate model of the
F-15's FCS, using information available on Gene Buckle's web site, http://www.f15sim.com (look in the "Operation" section), and from some NASA reports.  If somebody is already working on this, I'd be interested in helping.
