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

It is not necessary to add this plane to determine the performance of the historical aircraft are not up to spec. Whether or not the SU-26 is present has no bearing on the other flight models. Spending time to develop this aircraft is an expenditure of time and resources which, considering the unfinished state of the crucial historical aircraft, is clearly not warranted.

It's a huge slap in the face for those of us still waiting for what we paid for. Ffs... su26?

What a nice idea to make a SU 26 for ClOD. So we can fly modern planes and make some cool aerobatics. Please give us more of that, luthier and team.

Personally, i'd like to see it.

I'm assumimg it has been finished for some time and won't be a diversion of resources.

you already paid for it, it was long ago announced it was going to be included in BoB. with the sudden panic in the last 12 months before the forced release (when firm deadlines were given by the men in teflon suits), it was just put on the back burner (and many people at release complained it wasnt included)

the su-26 might be a modern civilian plane, but there are groups of dedicated aerobatic flyers who have been long requesting such an aircraft, some of them are professional aerobatic pilots who want to use a simulator to practice routines (less cost, less danger)

i'd agree on that, subject to the added bold parts

the most urgent thing is to fix the current fighter aircraft FM's !!
