Ok, been doing a lot of flying the 16.1 release. Mostly the Training version, but some with the Clean version.
Only two things have I found so far. And very minor they are indeed!!
First, they forgot to put in the Pilot's weight in the W&B section (200 lbs). Very easy to fix with a small edit to the aircraft.cfg.
Secondly, I have found that the stability in roll only (so far at least) isn't what it could be. Or what it is under different conditions. I tested at 800'AGL average and about M0.34, about 150KIAS. If I make a sharp roll and then reverse it back to level again, like for a turn in tight quarters, for example, it tends to wobble a little bit when returning to level. It clears after a short time, maybe 10-12 oscillations. It doesn't slowly null out, it just stops, and the plane is solid as a rock again.
Other than that, one thing I have found, that I immediately fell in love with, was that it doesn't try to climb after a tight turn! Until now, when in the break, for example, when rolling level the nose would go high and need a LOT of stick input to get it back level again. Now, it STAYS level on roll out. It's AWESOME!!
This plane is a real joy to fly, although it has a slight lack of power above about 32,000'MSL, but for all I know, that is what it SHOULD be. It is stable as a rock, turns on a dime, flies inverted easily (for about 10 secoonds
), all of it is a real joy.
I just can not say enough good about this version!! I vocally and strongly recommend it to anyone that will listen, on a couple different forums.
Thank you all for such a wonderful plane!
