My 2 pences having tested the new FM:
- Massive improvements at high angles, it's much more like what we can see the 2000 do in meetings !
- +1 on the numbness of the pitch axis... (i wonder if it's not due to trim laws)
- altitude drops while doing turns in AP in altitude hold mode (!)
- acceleration is unrealistic past 1.3 mach for a bi-sonic fighter.... it takes ages to even reach mach 1.8
Unverified info (supposedly Dassault supplied) i have on the real 2000 regarding acceleration:
50% fuel load, 2 magic, at 36000 ft: it takes 2 minutes from 0.9 mach to 1.85 mach, and 3 minutes from 0.9 mach to 2.17 mach

- +1 on brakes and Airbrakes effectiveness (lack of). It is very difficult to slow down the plane in finals
Keep up the good work Razbam, having the plane AOA based (rather than pitch based) at slow speed is a great path, the Mirage is now as nimble as it should be ! i'm sure the remaining issues will be fixed soon
Thanks !
