Yup, he was most likely on Legacy Mode, caught a lot of folks out that one. Eagles fly just fine in the Modern Mode they’re designed to use, and even better with the recent 0.2.0 release. Still some bugs, but nothing deal-breaking, and performance and appearance is improving with each update.
Users do indeed need to ensure they’re using the correct flight model setting, and also to read the manual - even Overkill tried to take off without take-off trim set, and wondered why the roll was long. Same for the landing - came in too fast, while using head-tracking, position too low in the cockpit, and wondered why the landing was long and why the HUD velocity vector in a non-collimated HUD was off-centre ( MSFS cannot support collimated HUDs yet ).
There are some things that you just can’t cure…
