First of all, I have to say I'm pleased to see ED pushing towards completing the FA-18C although there is a fair amount of features that don't have proper functionality and we haven't heard anything about (...ahem... MIDS Page functionality, D/L features, L16 sending designation to wingmen, missing HSI and SA page functions, accurate IFF implementation etc).
In 2020, there was a poll that asked us what feature was more important to us to be added. People overwhelmingly voted for the flight model update. Fast forward to 2021, "officially", the flight model hasn't been updated, besides fixing the ground effect (which was a bug for two years).
Among all these other features for the F/A-18C release in Q1, is the flight model also on the list? Are we to expect something like that? Among many other FM issues that have been discussed about in other threads about FM accuracy and underperformance compared to public unclassified material, the airplane has some weird interactions when performing split S with about .8 to .9 Mach speeds, it starts having seizures and going nose up and down.
Can we expect such an update or ED has forgotten about the FM update?
