The CEII feels very unfinished/low quality - where are the updates

[hazzer]

After giving up with asking for yak-52 updates I thought I'd try fly the other single engine small aircraft the CEII. However much to my disappointment it still seems no better than release. Having never flown the eagle irl I cannot comment on its realism however the prop rpm feels odd, it changes instantly. The aircraft lack life, needle wobble slight bumps vibrations, the cockpit model is underwhelming and overall it feels super unfinished. It doesn't fill me with confidence that the only thing to be updated on the list is the awful sounds.

Yes there is some tweaking that needs to be done. Although to call it low quality is little over the top. This is a strong representation of what it’s really like to fly this airplane IRL. Give these guys sometime and they’ll get it straight.

On the visual side of things I find it good enough. However, the flight model has some major flaws. making it almost unflyable for me.

 

The roll rate is very badly modelled and almost random (I know, it's not). Ailerons only rolls ok, but if you feed it too much rudder it "snaps" without even having played with elevator. This behaviour is unrealistic. On sanpp rolls, the roll rate is very unstable, again, this is unrealistic.

 

I would also like to see the ground handling model revised.

 

To me the prop RPM feels also very odd (I wil say engine dynamics in general), but mostly because of delay in manifold pressure to my input. With a violent input, one would expect the manifod pressure to jump. As a result the prop rpm should quickly increase, then go past the set RPM and then the governor should kick in reducing the rpm. Usually the overshoot is about 50rpm; none if you are slow on throttle or zero speed.

This effect should produce a very noticeable sound.

 

If they can manage to fix the flight model which btw has some very good dynamics in other areas (mostly negative airspeed), and fix the engine modelling, I'd be quite happy with that. However as of now, I have to say that the christen eagle is very disapointing.

 

Ps: if you want to see what engines dynamics and flight model should look like, the YAK 52 is at a far better state.
