Bought it, 1st flight, positive impressions.
Little bit tricky when flying close to M1.0 and above, but maybe I did something wrong, didn’t read manual yet, I was inpatient.
Need to take a look to manual so I can get more familiar with aircraft.
I set up my custom cameras when I buy a new aircraft and fly exclusively with custom cameras.

Flight characteristics get weird approaching mach1, with a phenomenon called Mach tuck, which is a nose down tendency, and if I’m not mistaken it’s modeled here? I certainly thought I felt it just under Mach 1.

All - Hmmm, have gone into control settings, and deleted “mouse profile” leaving the default “Mouse” profile. I also deleted the “Keyboard profile” leaving the Keyboard default" one. I cannot get the avianoics master switch to go on. So no HUD. Plane engines are ON regardless of what I do.
Now when installed, had quantity of directory files install errors, so assuming, because of the long file names, those could be corrupted or even not there. I will follow the recommended fix (Printed it out-in document protector with last page of manual). and will follwo that to see if some of these things clear up. But plane is fun. Read post above, will copy that into help file document, so I have information. I deeply appreciate the fact that the DC team is on top of all of this and are taking steps to correct and outline proper procedures, you guys are great. Again, cross paths more than one adult beverage, on me.

Hmm going to have to watch some videos on it but I think I’ll have to pick it up. While I’m not a military Jet guy, these just seems like a fun plane to fly around and high speeds and do neat stuff with. Plus if asobo does anything with Mach speeds in the top gun update that will make this even better. And now thinking of the top gun update, it maybe able to do carrier stuff!
Still going to do my due diligence and read reviews but I think I may have to pick this plane up today.

I thought I noticed it with the f-15 as well. Well color me impressed, I haven’t seen it modeled on any other plane except the Milviz jets for P3D.

First flight…and it had to be done…. “Miramar Tower, request permission for a fly by”
Definitely a fun ride. Nicely done Dean and team!

And at the right height and bank angle too, impressive, well done!

Loving my new bird, thank you DC Designs!
One minor issue - when I open the speed brake, the indicator (next to the landing gear indicators) does not change, it stays showing “UP”.

I’m not sure what’s happening there, but I checked the display condition for you and it’s fine here. Must be something else going on there, but not sure what. PILOT_VISIBLE should also work, the same condition exists for any camera you might add manually to the camera.cfg.

Good catch, first on the bug list so far ( good going with a release as big as this, I must be doing something right ).

All - Mouse does not work all the buttons/switches, Have checked mouse software, uninstalled, check MSFS, no change. Reinstalled mouse software (logitech) no change. It’s in the sim someplace, not DC Deisgns plane, because it prevents lights being turned on in 747 and others. Aint got clue, anyone else have issue? So since cannot turn on HUD, and other things, playing is fine, but cannot start to work up for serious operations since some systems unable to engage. Was hoping, my mouse issue was confined to MSFS provided planes, nope, got to be in the controls someplace. Question, should I just delete the moust default profile and recreate it from scratch?
Make sure your control settings are on “Modern” - a new setting a bit like the Modern flight model. The new controls Legacy setting is for FSX ports.

That’s not true. The Legacy FLIGHT MODEL is for FSX ports. The Legacy Cockpit Interaction mode is the one that everyone is used to from before SU5… the Lock mode is the XBox-ified control scheme. So… in other words, NEVER use Legacy Flight Model, but the Legacy Cockpit Interaction can be used just fine.

Got it and it’s a lot of fun to fly! For me it hits a good level of complexity but also ease of use. It’s definitely going to take me a while to learn how to fly it well but definitely not months.
Just listening to the sounds was amazing. I can only imagine how fun this will be once asobo has the top gun update out!
My only thing I had issues with was flaps getting stuck 3/4th deployed when landing however they looked like they were maybe only 1/4th. I couldn’t bring them up, though I could only set them to full which made for an interesting landing.

Maybe is a keybinding issue. I have keybinded flaps increase and flaps decrease in my quadrant and it works fine. However, the full flaps can only be deployed under 265knots to avoid damage.

Well done fellas, enjoying it.

There’s a few minor things I need to work out; I’m not ready to blame anyone but my lack of knowledge of the aircraft for any mistakes right now. I do, however, have a bit of a problem with the fuel consumption. It’s easy to add fuel, but it burns super fast in this thing.
