How many non-combat simmers will the Su-26 attract?

Yes.
General Aviation enthusiasts are used to forking out money for extras.
I flew FSX until I tired of it. I bought add-on scenery, planes etc.(shockwave WWII aircraft too) spending large amounts of money on my 'hobby'.
I also bought X-plane without flying it more than once. I'm sure I'm not the only fool out there.

As I stated, the whole of CoD is cheaper than one add-on for FSX, and you get more than one single aircraft. The Tiger Moth would interest a GA enthusiast.

Not buggy ones that are barely functional.

Not one of which is modeled appropriately, and ALL of which are subject to the completely bogus physics we have.

Aircraft flying with no tail or no wings? Please

Stop deceiving yourself.

Tried FSX, the flying experience doesnt feel as good as CLOD. from the SU26 videos it seems that CLOD SU26 is much better than FSX

I have no interest in the SU-26 nor any plasma weapons but, I higly rate the fact that they delivered it, as they had said they would....

I expect they would mock the sim and the Su-26 for its antimatter weapons. And rightly so. You can bet your arse that Oleg would never have allowed his product to be polluted by such idiot gimmicks.

I can assure you that there were many real world aerobatic pilots who were anxiously awaiting what was expected to be one of the best aerobatic flight models out there, if not the absolute, bar raising best.

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.

The Rayguns are only an option, you don't have them mounted if you do not want them.

If some real Su-26 pilot can tell me what happens when this aircaft hits a He111 and lost a wing, i'll really aprreciate!

Until then, i'll keep having great fun with this "bogus physics"...

By the way, in FSX Su-26 can i do this test too? I don't like the smoke in FSX version...



It's fun to do silly things with this aircraft! LOL! I'll wait the real aerobatic pilots review to see if the Su-26 FM deserves serious training, to do serious things!

Are you sure? I thought the anti matter guns / ray guns / laser beams, w/e were just an inside joke (Luthier's attempt at humor) You can't really mount weapons to the Su26 in Clod can you? If so, someone make a video.

[ElAurens]

Is that really what it sounds like in game?

That is awful.
