high AoA roll when going less than 300kias

Noticed you can also induce an uncontrollable spin by just holding forward and lateral stick input below around 300 kts. The plane doesn't seem to be able to decide what rudder input it wants which wobbles the plane out of controlled flight. Once that happens even releasing all control inputs, the FLCS just holds inputs that keep it in that spin and it doesn't recover itself.

I'm not sure if it's too easy to enter a spin/deep stall, but once you do it being unrecoverable isn't too unexpected. You need to use manual pitch override to recover. It makes a massive difference. However, don't pitch down too much or it might make things worse.

Yeah nice work...

 

Calm down, this is a relatively small issue. Overall the FM has been MUCH improved with this latest update!

Now that being said, I can recreate the scenario you're talking about above and depart the aircraft if I apply FULL roll & pitch command at 300 knots & below in dry power only, and it seems to happen only if you do a complete rotation in roll (360 deg). Based on what I can see, it seems to be the rudder causing the issues, the FLCS seems abit conflicted as to how much rudder & in which direction in needs to be applied in a high AoA rolling maneuver below 300 knots.

 

In full wet (full AB) power however, I can do this crazy maneuver the aircraft doesn't depart (but still the rudder is abit funky):

I moved this post back to this bug report, please do not hijack other peoples threads to promote yours. The dev responsible is on vacation right now, when he returns he will have a look, but you should supply more evidence that this isn't expected behavior. Right now, whether it is right or wrong, you are only giving opinion.

Large, simultaneous pitch and roll command and consecutive 360 degree maximum command rolls are prohibited according to -1. This is to avoid departures due to inertia roll coupling, which is a prominent issue with a relaxed static stability aircraft such as an F-16. Although the FLCS may have means to suppress it, such as reducing the AOA limit and roll rate limit, it may still happen when the inertia coupling caused pitch-up moment overwhelms the pitch-down moment generated by the horizontal stab.

An example of inertia coupling caused departure in an F-16B:

(This is not a spin.)

I'd like to mention that when AOA > 35 deg, a function called 'Yaw Rate Limiter' activates that commands the flaperon and rudder to negate any yaw rate built-up. (You can search for it in -1). Simply put, the flaperon will deflect into the yaw, and the rudder will deflect against the yaw. But it seems that currently in DCS, the rudder also deflects into the yaw, which seems to be another bug.

Yeah I've noticed the same @777coletrain, and I don't think this instability in yaw is correct behavior but more likely an unintended bug. But we'll see. At least the FM is basically spot on in pitch rate & stability now based on the information I have available.
