    As Oleg noted, some people will have difficulties with new FM. This needs a little explanation. New FM is way better than the old one, it is so advanced (even in this stage of testing), that will require a new approach to using your airplane. All their weakneses and strenghts are now much more visible. It will also require more pilot thinking i.e. joystick is now more flying stick as it was before. You will have to thik more about speeds, g-forces, overloads etc.

    I'm not in position to tell you details, I just wanted to say - all the testers love new fm

    **** I just hope my rig will still run PF.. But thanks Dali, I'm so fri**in thrilled of PF at the moment! So I guess the torgue-modelling is better now?

    Bytheway, I love your sig..

    I can't believe all this hype over the flight models. What is this all about? - difficulty? BULL!!!
    If the real-life planes were THAT difficult to fly, there would never have been any air battles or bombings. I've read dozens of books written by pilots, talked to real-life present-day pilots, talked to WWII pilots and the planes were not that difficult to fly. Period.
    I hope the flight models are truly realistic, not difficult for the sake of difficulty. One had to be careful - not fearful.
    My 2 cents.

    I wonder if the P-38 will have the zero torque it was always meant to have with these new FMs??

    IMO this creates more problems.This new FM "upgrade" should be labeled ALPHA and not practiced in common HL flight.

    Besides you`re thinking wrong if you think this new FM will be somewhat of a sensation.

    Ok,ok....I`d wet me pants if energy high wingloading planes got their treat but it is more of a dream right now.

I assume your a beta tester.. Knowing that the math for flight simulation has been around for years.. Just what aspects of the old FM math was not fully implemented that is implemented in the new FM? Is it a simple case of replacing what was once a look up table with a real time equation? Or once linearized equations that are now the full polynomial versions? Or were some parts totally disbled and now enabled? Any info would be greatly appreciated! If you dont have any info on the details of the math.. Then just tell us.. What *feels* different now? Oleg implied that the take off and landings are different.. But that says more about the ground model math than the FM during flight.. Anyway.. tell us more! We are all ears!
