Su27SM developed by Partner/BelsimTek?

[*Rage*]

From Wags interview podcast on FSbreak. He mentions F15c and F18c as internal ED products. A question from a caller asks about the cobra maneuver for the Su and Matt mentions for the Su27SM it will not be scripted and can be performed with the new flight model.

 

Roughly paraphrasing "We have very talented flight programmers on our team and we have partnered with really talented guys at Belsimtek who will be assisting us with some of our aircraft."

 

Belsimteks next project - Su27SM?

I doubt about that. IMHO Belsimtek's new project will (logicaly after Huey) be AH-1 Cobra... Also due to their contract with Bell/Textron.

I hope its interally made by ED..but based on Wag's interview, its unlikely. He was ambiguous about who it was being developed by. Did not say third party, so most likely a close partner like Belsimtek. but I still hope its done by ED in house.

I read some speculations on russian forums that Belsimtek is essentially a Minsk branch of ED, just with a different name. So it's a good thing they are involved, two heads are better than one.
