I like the c172p-3d 3d model and 3d cockpit a lot.

Three comments/concerns for the recent changes to the flight model:
1.  The nose pitch-up when adding flaps seems extreem.  If I don't
    change the elevator trim a lot, the plane actually stalls.  If I recall
    correctly, the Piper Tri-Pacer had a slight pitch up with added flaps.
    But the Cessna 172 nose pitches down a little and you have to
    make minor trim changes more like the c182 in FlightGear.
2.  The adverse aileron yaw is too much at modrate speeds.  In fact,
    since these changes, the wing leveler auto pilot will cause ever
   increasing aileron oscillations leading to a crash with the c172p.
3.  The rate of descent with full flaps seems less than it should be.

What do the rest of you think, especially those with recent real c172
time?  It has been several years since I flew the c172.
Regards,
Dave
