How did these screwed up FMs get by initial testing?

I think it's more due to the new engine modeling. The FMs feel fine in terms of handling, i can't quite put my finger on it but it feels like an improved IL2 experience, it just feels more fluid and less on rails.

The performance issues seem to be tied to power output from the engines (top speeds/ceilings/climb rates) so i guess the new CEM is where the tweaking needs to happen. The fact that the AI has to use simplified routines without cheating makes it all the more complicated (it costs about 10 FPS per aircraft to enable the new CEM, so it's only used for the player aircraft and the AI ones use simpler models), not to mention that most players are not up to it yet (lot's of variation between what each pilot can achieve).

That being said, i'd rather have this new feature with a couple of inaccuracies to be corrected as time goes by, rather than go back to IL2 style engine modeling.
