I didnt touch it for a long long time, while 2 or 3 updates went out. I came back the last week. It was playable, I felt better FMs. Thanks to Seven 64, the "launcher.exe" issue is almost a ghost. I'm having very good time on ATAG server. Online, this sim is impressive and immersive, as Chivas said.

So I just want say to the dev: keep working, it's getting very good. And... hope to be able to fly the Su26 soon.


** And I'm still convinced, after testing some freestyle aerobatics with Me109. There are behaviors which are normally very hard to reproduce, like the snap-roll (which keeps rolling with neutral elevators) and torque-roll (propeller blast seems nicely modeled).

From the wikipedia article on the Su 26

The Sukhoi Su-26 made its first flight in June 1984

Why would they model a 1980's-era acrobatic aircraft in a WWII combat sim?
