The Point Zeus was making is that in a perfect world SFM would be exact as PFM because the sim would, in a perfect world, be as accurate as RL and that the result of an SFM (or allowing the sim [DCS world] to dictate flight characteristics) would be true to life because the sim would be perfect. unfortunately DCS is not perfect so FMs all require tuning to get more realistic behavior hence AFM, PFM and EFM

 

Has nothing to do FSX totally different animal.

I don't see the problem here :

SFM : aircraft performances (speed, G loads, turn rates, climb rates...)

AFM : fine tuning of aircraft behavior both in the air and on ground

 

Is it that hard to understand ?

 

Anyway it is Work In Progress. No one outside of team has flown it yet. So how can someone judge what is being done ?

 

Please stop that pointless argument...we'll see when it's ready !

As I say Im not a real pilot how i will able to see hardcore SFM or PFM?

I wear glasses so I get refused at french army as fighter pilot so SFM or PFM no matter to me what matter is piloting M2000. But if razbm want to release it with AFM its ok.

Can M2000 do unrestricted climb like this?

Am I wrong in thinking that the Su-25T back in FC2 had an advanced SFM and still does now in DCSW? and it feels really good in my opinion I still enjoy the SU-25, Im sure when they get their AFM it will be an improvement but he has got a point.

Any airplane that can land on grass without instantly exploding in DCS does not use an SFM. According to the product terms page, the Su-25T has an AFM, and the Su-25 has an AFM+. http://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=122801

 

In any case, AI always uses an SFM, so it was essential for RAZBAM to develop the SFM for their Mirage 2000C even though they are developing an EFM for player controlled aircraft. I believe when he said the SFM was aerodynamically the same he meant that the SFM version very closely matches the performance charts for the real airplane. Of course there will be a noticeable difference between the SFM and an EFM/AFM/PFM in flight from the player perspective, but it is important for AI flight performance to be as close to the player flight performance as possible, and that is what RAZBAM has done.

Su-25T in DCS has an amzing flight model...

YOU try to fly that beast fully loaded..

you will have to manhandle that taking off and landing.

 

hopefully M2000C will share an ample experience with an AFM, fully loaded...

Mmm I don't think it means what you think it means... If you "manhandle" it (I had to google this one) you will end up deep below ground level ;)

Unfortunately it is not that simple and can't be "split" that way.

 

Don't get me wrong here, I really like having good simulations and hope this one succeeds as well.

 

Problem seems to be that people underestimate the complexity and amount of work involved in flight model.

 

In personal experience software projects are often underestimated in amount of work so they end up very late, over the cost and/or cancelled. So I do hope whoever they have working on this realizes in detail what the work involves.

 

And as said before, in a perfect world we would just input data and sim engine would magically give us perfect flight model. In real world it does not work that way.

 

In a simulation aircraft performance depends on things like aerodynamic lift and drag at specific altitude, engine thrust at different settings and atmospheric conditions and so on.

 

You can calculate various coefficients and factors separately at different parts of simulation and integrate at physics engine but there are limits and often things "feed back" into other parts of calculations.

 

So until there is a video of working AFM on this I'm somewhat worried about the statements made before.

Now the full set of external fuel tanks is available:

Shame it cannot carry a targetting pod. Would have been a very fun addition, a fast jet capable of searching the targets trough a targetting pod.

 

Hope we can mod it somehow, maybe adding the A-10C targetting pod?

I find the exact opposite to be the case. It's great to have a fast jet capable of ground attacks and even LGBs without a TGP. That makes the OA-10C more important as well as ground JTACs to find targets and direct the attack plane on them. And of course: buddy lasing!!

 

That leads me to another question, that hasn't been discussed here as far as I know (if it has been pls point me to it :)):

What are the DataLink capabilities of the (DCS) Mirage? Link16 for any chance?
