"We've performed a tremendous amount of work testing and improving flight models in the game,
as well as improving various aircraft engines"
Wonder what "improving aircraft engines" means? Just improving engine power at various altitudes could have a big impact on performance - such as the ability to maintain a certain turn rate. Let's wait and see.
I'd really like to know who "Sean" is - the guy who supplied the testing data. Anyone any ideas? He might be able to tell us the source of the data and give us some confidence in the FM tweaks.
Could be Sean Trestrail mentioned in this old post?:
