I will point out that while it's possible to force the YF-23 into this extreme state, if you fly it in a more normal range, it behaves pretty normally. So personally I think the YF-23 is a pretty fun plane to fly, even if it isn't 100% perfect. Based on my understanding of YASim, this has to be some sort of bug in the core yasim code since it's getting energy from nowhere. Might be some sort of numerical/roundoff issue, perhaps some of the code in YAsim makes assumptions/simplifications that start to break down at extremely high alpha angles? I'm just throwing out wild guesses here, but there's nothing you can do in a yasim config file to create energy out of nothing. All the physics is handled deep in the yasim code.
