Hi Aerotro, I can't guarantee that the SU-37 will get to 51k+ ft. Because YASim doesn't do super-sonic (not a critism) I had to guesstimate a suitable sub-sonic datum i.e. less than max trust @ less than max alt, but the sub-sonic characteristics seem to be in the right ball-park. I was more interested in 'playing' with YASim's out of the envelope qualities (which I was very pleased with) rather than making an easily flyable aircraft, so flying it on the stick could be tricky:) That's also why there isn't much of a panel or authentic instruments - it's not what I was interested in but it's there for anyone else to take further:) I can't remember if the thrust vectoring feature is on or off, by default, but I found that it had negligible effect at low power settings (which was interesting;) If you're planning to hand fly it, as opposed to scripting something, I'd recommend using either the 'cubed' stick function (cubes the 0.0-1.0 input before applying it to the control surfaces - sensitivity is very low at small inputs but increases at a cube rate as the input increases - heh heh) or using the stick roll-hold and either the stick pitch-hold or climb-rate-hold functions to help make it a bit more controlable. Using the roll&pitch/climb modes should level out the a/c if you let go of the stick... ...unless you're out of control:) There is a primitive spin/ooe recovery function too, but it really needs about 10k ft to be safe (may need a few attempts) When I last flew it I found that I needed to manually reset the autopilot, via the menu, before all the various A/P controllers would work so you should do this before you try to take off:) hth LeeE ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.
