Great input, thanks all who replied! Good video too! I use keyboard controls, so I think things get a bit more hairy because of this.

When I had first Downloaded the F-15C (not the Flaming Cliffs, but just the plane itself) It also had uncontrollable pitching issues. Things that happen due to the physics involved yes, but also made the plane really difficult for a new user like myself to pilot. Then came the patch that -to my best guess- added an auto-trim mechanic that fixed everything. New it handles like a dream. Again, I see the same thing happening with the Su-27, but I hear the actual plane doesn't have auto-trimming? If this is so and the game has mimicked it, well...It's sad, because I like the plane, but can't fly it as it is. I'd have to manually trim it I guess. Hopefully I don't need to during flight. Dog fighting would be a nightmare :joystick:. My issues with the plane are: 1) Taxing (takes a dangerous amount of throttle just to get the plane moving, and then when you reduce throttle, because you're now moving fast enough to roll the plane it all of a sudden doesn't have enough momentum to continue forwards and comes to a dead stop, unless I "again" add more throttle). 2) The uncontrollable pitching upwards when exceeding certain air speeds. 3) The need for the plane to straighten out as if the auto-pilot kicked on when banking at times. 4) The tires blowing easily, but that's a known issue according to the person who replied to my support ticket. Sorry about length, just hope this plane gets some fixes. It's my fave -- unless it stays as it is lol.

Hey, Well, I've just downloaded the Su-27 (I don't have flaming cliffs, just the plane itself) and I've run into some issues: 1) When taxing, I need way too much throttle to simply get the plane moving, and then when I reduce the throttle (as it's way to much lol) the plane loses momentum like I cut the engines. Am I supposed to keep going up and down on throttle? In an F-15 it's a tiny bit of throttle to get the plane moving, and the speed is quite managable. No blown tires, neither. (Yeah, the tire thing is a known issue, so I'm glad it's being looked at :) ) 2) When flying, should my speed exceed 600-700 or so the plane pulls up like a crazy auto pilot. I use Kb controls so maybe this is why, but I simply can't control the plane until I reduce air speed. Again, not an issue in the F-15. As a side note, at certain speeds the plane will auto straighten out, again like a crazy auto pilot lol. I don't think trim is the answer here -- unless it's just meant to handle this bad - or the F-15 is overly simplified? Thanks in advance for any input. I'd love to have a good experience with the Su-27 as it's probably my favorite plane. :helpsmilie:
