Are you really going to ignore the second part, the stick fixed longitudinal instability was unsatisfactory in all conditions?

Are you going to ignore the fact the game characteristics are exactly the opposite of the real thing???

The game results....




The RAE results for the same test.....

Yes I am going to ignore it because you are highlighting stick-free behaviour in game and highlighting stick-fixed in the NACA report and your in game results don't point out what configuration the aircraft was in, you may notice that not all of the stick-free oscillations in the second graph are divergent.

That and I am pretty sure that klem, the guy that did that ingame stick test, told Crumpp that it was not something he (klem) would consider a full fledged test.. Let alone one that relates to the topic.. Yet Crumpp still keeps posting references to that ingrame graph as if it was some 1C approved 'golden' test.. Also note how Crummp fails to give klem any credit as the one who actully did the test.. Which may falsely lead some to belive that Crumpp is actully doing his own ingame testing

That and the fact that both graphs illustrate long period oscillations which even Crumpp can't argue we're not tested by NACA and he also can't argue the fact that long period oscillations matter squat.

Note:

Long period oscillations are measured over minutes

Short period oscillations are measured over seconds
