Forget about the SU-26, Fix the Flight Models

if luthier is confident to release this plane (and the model and design was done some yrs ago prior to the CoD release debacle), it means they are confident with the current state of the sim and provide us with a "precise measuring tool" to compare to RL performance of the same plane

adding it into the final patch is a good idea imho

the two quotes above show the insight that oleg had . . . if a game engine is accurate to something modern that they can tweak (the engine) to nail the SU-26's flight characteristics.

There are lots of SU-26's (more individual aircraft quirks), lots of pilots (skill levels, flying backgrounds), and a willingness to push the aircraft to it's boundaries. We have realistic warbirds, but the flying ones are a rarity, and pilots are also rare. The owners of the warbirds are certainly not willing to push the boundaries of the old war horses.

With lots of the X factors above, with enough statistical compilation, one can get a accurate feel for the SU-26 in game. Then they can translate that to your favorite warbird.

The devs also get experience in taking a real plane and modelling it correctly in game . . .

It helps make the engine better. Even if it distracts from the WW2 aspect, if it improves the game engine, I'm all for it.


the devs (if they wanted to) can do this stuff:

And most of all do not forget this is a game not reality otherwise most of us should be dead all ready. And if you are still not happy there are many open source pc languages create your own air warfare simulation.

Your response makes no sense considering what I wrote.

Lol, this is the Banana forum m8!

Su-26 was promised, we are still waiting... this video is so old that it has the ancient name for the current CoD and it was addressed to Oleg Maddox.

And yes, some of us will be very pleased when it will be released, alongside with the FM corrected (specially about propwash addition)

Yes skip the SU26 , completely pointless for a WW2 sim . Instead let's have an FW190

[SlipBall]

Well a lot of people are counting on this aircraft, after all it was talked about for good long time. I know so was many other things were too, but I think it will be fun, maybe even bring a few civilian pilot dollars, into the pot.

completely right mate

I think the devs are taking a look at the speeds etc.

Amen to that!

You are a real fanboy of a real great flight sim. I love you, keep up the good work !
