theropod Posted November 19, 2015 Share Posted November 19, 2015 i hadnt check the flanker since 1.5.1 update, i just had a test flight and noticed that the flanker is flying more stable after 1.5.1 update. before current update there was nose up behaviour after takeoff and also at low speeds(more trim needed) but now, no more trim needed until your speed over 500kmh. overall, flanker flies much stable. Awesome improvement thank you ED! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
*Rage* Posted November 20, 2015 Share Posted November 20, 2015 Also much less tendency to go inverted stall. Although it will if you push it. Especially with ACS off.

Especially with ACS off. yes, i noticed that too. the inverted stall was not the reason to crash during my 1.5.1 test flights:) we entered the golden age of flanker i guiess, only high g stuctural damage left to add the flanker. wing flex added on current version and now it is time to brake it:) Edited November 20, 2015 by theropod Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Worther_1 Posted November 28, 2015 Share Posted November 28, 2015 I read your post with interest ad I've always loved the Flanker but found the pitch up after take off frustrating. I've just taken the Flanker out for a quick flight and you're spot on, no more pitch up attitude, I think I'll be flying her a lot more now! Thanks for posting this.

She was originally created statically unstable. disagree with you, yes it created unstable but when only flying without Direct Control(ACS) function. FBW system corrections makes the plane stable on flight and that makes me feel comfortable. I compared the current version with older version and result is far better for me. I like cessna and I hope to see it on wide dcs world one day. Edited November 28, 2015 by archer86 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exorcet Posted November 30, 2015 Share Posted November 30, 2015 If you are looking for comfort and stability, you need Cessna 172, not maneuverable combat aircraft as the Flanker is. She was originally created statically unstable. I'd say it's the other way around. How are you going to successfully engage enemy aircraft if your plane does not even fly? Difficulty does not equate to realism. That idea needs to be wiped out.

Ironhand Posted November 30, 2015 Share Posted November 30, 2015 Don't know if it's requiring less trimming. It does fly a bit differently, and especially seems different in the higher speed ranges. I haven't had time to test it but it almost feels as if, after around 850 km/hr, the nose starts pitching down instead of up as speed increases. If so, this is the reverse of what the trimmer law dictates.
