I'm sorry but I don't think you have a full understanding of the topic man, or if you do, your explanation is ridden with generalisations.

Engineers don't calculate flight models, a flight model, even when accurate, is an approximation used for simulators. To design a plane you can render in CAD the surface and structure and calculate loads or aerodynamic coefficients, but you will still need to build and test prototypes.
Dear SternJ,

I am sry but you didn't took the train on time. See bellow post of Vip to understand that I was talking abt tweaking to simulate complicated probs.

Moreover it's over insupportable to hve to read on each of your post basically the "You don"t know as your are not this or that and blablabla"

Firsty I have reasonable confidence of my knowledge and I am always pls to learn/re-learn new things
Secondly I am debating here with all the people that are enjoying on this forum a new sim that is a step further toward our expectation regarding realism. I am not talking to you abt myself, you or my own lovely stern.

Pls open up and be alert and positive
