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.
