It feels "different" on the stick, though. Much more like an IL-2 or MSFS aircraft, where joystick-travel equals a force, instead of stick-fravel.

I think at the end of the day it's still "early access" (read "first release"), despite being "feature complete". So far, I have ripped my wings-off two or three times due to not observing g-limits for non-empty tip-tanks. And I've had a brown-pants moments after effing up a high-atitude formation barrel-roll and coming out near vertical. Mach Tuck is a thing and it's a nasty fella! I managed to escape - the wingman thought "trimming out of the dive" was a good idea and was awarded with a prompt and quick practical review of the bail-out procedure. 2

From the patch notes Quote WWII AI warbirds: improved behaviour and fixed collision during landing in pairs I can't find the other quote I was looking for, but one of the mods said that the dogfighting improvements was just for jets right now.
Gambit21 Posted October 29, 2022 Posted October 29, 2022 Yeah WWII will come later...hopefully not too much later.

I haven't read anything about the FM being off, but being a person of at least medium repute, it's possible you've got the skinny. I hope someone does an in-depth review soon.

Also it's not secret, just a matter if you want to purchase the aircraft to test for yourself or not. 1

Also it's not secret, just a matter if you want to purchase the aircraft to test for yourself or not. I am firmly situated on the fence for the moment. I like new toys, but do I want to spend $80 on that particular toy? Not sure. The L-39 did nothing for me and the 101 was kinda fun. I'd like to see a good comparison video as regarding the FM and the eye candy and all that stuff. If someone reputable said it was like the 101 but better in every way, that would push me to the "buy it" side of things.

Bremspropeller Posted October 30, 2022 Posted October 30, 2022 (edited) I can't really find anything wrong with the stall - it just cleanly breaks ahead and it doesn't roll-off like the L-39. The rudder-authority is kind of iffy, but you can do a spin and a lomcevak, so it's not *bad*. Plus: Formation-flying is a breeze. I also like the engine stalling when taking off on a wet runway (need to hold down the relight button!). Edited October 30, 2022 by Bremspropeller 1 1
