Tiger-II Posted January 11, 2020 Posted January 11, 2020 (edited) Hi, Overall the flight model feels solid and handles beautifully! Great job! I have flown it enough now to report a couple of issues: 1) At gear up, if the stick is deflected at all from center in pitch, there is a sudden increase in pitch rate the instant the gear is fully retracted***. 2) It hates any form of asymmetric loadout. In fact, it's borderline uncontrollable during takeoff. 3) Drag of dual pylons and fuel tanks feels excessive. *** There is a small pitch moment while the gear retracts. Great detail! However it is not this to which I refer. It's like the flight control pitch gain suddenly changes the instant all gear are up and locked.

The JF-17 is not better than the F-16; it's different. It's how you fly that counts. "An average aircraft with a skilled pilot, will out-perform the superior aircraft with an average pilot."
AeriaGloria Posted January 11, 2020 Posted January 11, 2020 (edited) While DCS modules often have problems with stores drag, I have a hunch these are pretty close. It’s designed for a very small payload, it’s the price of being 80% the size of F-16. Pakistan flies it with 4 AAM just like Mirage 2000 we have. They only use dual racks for the smaller bombs. They also have been using MiG-21 fuel tanks recently, which have less drag despite less fuel Edited January 11, 2020 by AeriaGloria Black Shark Den Squadron Member: We are open to new recruits, click here to check us out or apply to join! https://blacksharkden.com
shaHeen-1 Posted January 12, 2020 Posted January 12, 2020 Wow that's sharp. It might penetrate a bunker on its own XD As for the landing gear pitch I've noticed it too. It happens just as the gear doors close pretty much. I think it might be due to FCS switching gears. Kinda cool. Jeff goes super saiyan.
