Hey BigMac have you listened to
It's an interview with Matt by a real former, Hornet fighter pilot. They have a great discussion regarding flight model and more importantly, and something I wasn't aware of is the feedback the Hornet gives to the stick regarding AOA and all sorts of stuff. If you have any concerns, or at least are interested in this aspect of the simulation, which you seem to be it is well worth a listen.
A real eye opener.
