NONE, if they cant get the sim to work properly! I dont want new planes, I want the ones in the game to work!

They are working here... with some bugs here and there...

People are boring... :rolleyes:

Sounds a lot like an F4F Wildcat to me.

Hey SlipBall - you were right. It has all sorts of crazy weapons you can attach to it :)

I forgot about the SP loadout bug and didn't get them to work until I went into the FMB. We actually put a simple Su26 vs Su26 DF map on the 2nd server so anyone that wanted to fire an antimatter cannon or fight on equal footing could have fun.

Sure, I own every other sim there is, and use each one for what it does better than the others, but none of them, no sim ever produced does a very good job of modelling edge of the envelope physics as it pertains to aerobatic aircraft. I saw the potential of the IL-2 engine a long time ago, and that is why we were using Fw-190s as our demonstration aircraft, even though "FSX was out", as was X-Plane, Condor, LockOn, and more recently sims like Aerofly fs which is more or less dedicated to aerobatic flying, and day VFR "fun". Yet we still waited for a sim that wasn't a joke in the aerobatic FM department, we hoped the SU-26 would deliver.

At this point, I am unable to try it....and most of my acro friends are waiting on me to give them my review. I'm trying to ignore some of the silly things I see in the videos right now, and I'm ashamed that the thing has Rayguns and crap on it...but whatever, we'll see.

+1, will test it here soon, when official patch will be released.

For the moment, all I can say, is that Su-26 is hard enough to allow a pilot survive to crashes like these ones (one looses a wing at low altitude):

I've met that guy once, he is Alexander Krotov. He survived both crashes.

I've seen some CoD videos with some impossible maneuvers, all of them involving an excess of rudder control. But we'll see, all of this is adjustable.

Nothing wrong with aeroplanes from No1 Tractor factory Bacau.... is Nice :)

More to the point, how many non-combat flight simmers are specifically interested in the Su26. And if those, how many will consider buying clod.

If I was a fan of the SU-26 I'd already fly it in FSX. So my guess would be: none.

Some bugs here and there? Are you serious? Particle rendering, dust and smoke, still an issue...fix? Turn down the visual effects. New stutters and sputters in dogfights looking through wonked up aiming circles. The list goes on, and so do the promises and reassurances that all is well and will be fixed. I simply don't believe it anymore. The Russian boy has cried wolf wayyy too many times for my liking.
