I've had limited success overriding the FBW. You must already be at the limit when you activate it, otherwise it doesn't override (by design).

 

I've found the Jeff is a very capable fighter. It definitely benefits from good handling, even against superior maneuvering opponents.

 

BFM is mostly skill, augmented by an aircraft that can perform.

 

Dissimilar BFM is great fun! Jeff is capable (and more so now after the recent FM update).

The JF-17 is not better than the F-16; it's different. It's how you fly that counts.

Only way to turn off FBW is set the theee FCS gyros to failure. DL turns it off outside of AOA limit but as soon as it goes back to AOA limits the FBW turns back on. You can set it to EFCS which basically sets the FBW to landing gains, but it doesn’t G limit you however you are limited to 12.5 degrees a second, so it’s only possible to over G if you’re going extremely fast and extremely low.

 

If you really want to rip the wings off you can over G it by adding roll to max pitch with nothing turned off, and you will eventually over G. There’s a particular aerodynamic effect that increases AOA from yaw at high AOA(due to the centripetal force of a long slender fuselage). And if you look at your FCS page you can see how much rudder it uses to co ordinate your aileron Inputs and how much aileron corrects yaw during rudder inputs. So if you want to turn off the yaw and roll CAS in addition turn off that roll/yaw switch to the left of DL and have fun coordinating everything with your feet.

 

I haven’t flown it without FBW(the gyro channels set to fail), but I should try sometime. It’s fun to activate JF-17 HARV and see it fight lol

 

Also if you fly without FBW, it should be most stable the faster you go. The JF-17 is extremely unstable at subsonic speeds the slower you go, you can also see on FCS page how much elevator trim it takes to keep the nose up and at transonic and supersonic speeds.
