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

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.
