in progress Updated flight model progress?

[theoklahomaaviator]

Good morning!

I understand I’m probably going to get slammed by a few for asking this. I do realize that new information is made available as it becomes available.  But I have to ask.  Is there any updates/news to share about the work in progress being made toward the “flight model for ground effect, takeoff pitch effects, auto-pilot based on FPM, touch and go handling, and other remaining flight model issues”?  I really loved reading and learning from the white paper on radar improvements!  The flight model was the top voted on improvement and I’m very excited to see and learn about the work that is being done on that as well!  I’m a GA pilot, but being an avionics technician is what pays the bills. It’s a career I chose because of the ever changing and improving of systems and software so a lot of the fun wrapped into this wonderful sim for me, is getting new and improved fixes and advances toward aircraft “squawks/gripes”.  Long story short, I’d really like to see something on the Hornet flight model.  Thank you to anyone who took the time to read and consider this.

Hi,

Flight model review is in progress as we are getting closer to leaving early access. 

Ground effect issues were fixed long ago, but touch and go still needs to be tweaked. 

Follow the mini updates thread here for more news when it happens. 
 

Thanks

Many including myself are eagerly awaiting:

• We are performing a ground up review of and refactoring of the Hornet flight model and flight control system. This also includes a large update to the landing gear model.

Hey @BIGNEWY!  Thank you for taking the time to reply!  I definitely watch all the videos and keep up with the update posts.  Looking forward to more of both.  This is such an AWESOME sim and community.  It’s a dream come true for a guy like me that still remembers playing Hornet 1.0, 3.0, and Korea by Graphsim and did work with VRS on their SuperBug, been to Oceana and watched them scream around the pattern, work with a bunch of ex Hornet Avionics dudes, and even had the opportunity to pour over a few maintenance manuals over the years. The Hornet is THE naval strike fighter of my time.  I love the Tomcat, but I’ve always had a special interest in the Hornet and Super Hornets.

NEVER stop creating!

@BIGNEWY,

is this referred to your internal test build or to the current open beta?

It was fixed last year, or 2 years ago I don't remember... So both current Open Beta and Stable.
