CoD Flight Models?

[CharveL]

Let's put it this way: we know that Oleg has spent a good deal of time adding more factors to the flight model that were not possible in IL2 and refined the algorithms to more accurately model the mechanics of flight.

As to the accuracy of FM's to your particular favourite plane, expect the b1tching about some bias or other to be no less than it was for the last ten years of IL2.

If your favourite plane's performance is somewhat less in the sim than you wish it to be based on all the books you may have read, pilot interviews, movies seen and charts pored over, than the FM's will suck, and we'll read about it here.

That's hopeful news as I had not read anything about him adjusting the physics modeling of flight.

As to bitching -- that's for bitches.

My concerns here are not about whether the flying performance for any given plane matches my expectations. But whatever it is it should still feel like flight.

If I remember it correctly we got the BoB FM in the 4.01 patch from mid 2005 so we already have it

From the 4.01 readme:

"4.01 introduces the next generation pre-Battle of Britain Flight Model (FM). In this add-on we are introducing a part of the FM from our next simulation."

Seriously - IL2 is good enough so any improvement is just a bonus. Sure the turbulence handling could need some tweaking and the ground handling feels a bit "scripted"... And maybe some multi engine prop/torque stuff... And...
