Upcoming flight model adjustments

[TobiasA]

Having tested the new Viper, I must say that GS is right. It didn't change a lot in the numbers, but those changes absolute rock.
I can go nose up at 180kts now, have 30% less landing distance, about 8% less speed on touchdown, and boy that pitch and roll authority.

It's not a hornet, but it rocks. The overall handling has certainly improved, the low speed handling is as awesome as physics allow it.

The new F-16 does seem to handle better, but the AoA needed to maintain level flight seems to have actually increased along with fuel burn. I want to make some tracks in the old version and bring them over to the OB to see how much difference is made.

Yeah whilst the G-onset definitely improved a lot, which is good, I noticed a few odd things:

 

1. It's harder to be precise in terms of sustaining a certain G  (for instance I couldn't make the G meter hit 8.1 or 8.6 G for some reason, no matter I smooth I tried to be it would always skip from 8 - 8.2 G, and from 8.5-8.7 G)

2. Related to the above, when easing slight off or adding slightly to pitch, the aircraft seems to jerk its way in pitch/G. i.e. it appears abit bumpy when trying to increase G gradually.

3. It appears you cannot achieve more than negative -1.7 G (should be able to hit -3 G)

 

Just my 2 cents since the update.
