Default CEM? Is it worth it at this stage?
Title says it all. Is it worth engaging CEM at this stage of development? Will doing so improve the performance of the A/C, ie more "realistic"?

Absolutely. And it isn't that hard to learn. Anyone who is planning on learning CEM at some stage shouldn't leave it too late. Bad habits can be hard to break...

Order of business IMHO: 1) ensure radiator is open to allow cooling; 2) learn how to trim the aircraft, especially rudder and elevator trim since most early fighters don't have aileron (a loose spring joystick helps here, cable ties are just great to reduce spring tension!); 3) keep an eye on the ball & slip indicator and trim with rudder to get true forward flight; 4) focus on prop pitch interactions with throttle to keep the boost pressure under control or risk the dreaded perforated water radiator.

Wo Wo wait, no aileron? How the heck do you turn the thing? That sounds crazy, turning with just rudder sounds like being the target in a shooting gallery.

Yeah, just a slight difference hey! I was imagining trying to dogfight with no aileron - would be an interesting experience!
