Ah ok, I havenāt purchased it yet, but itās on my to buy list. The Japanese one on flightsim.to is a bare metal one and not the camouflage version though.
Will this plane be sent to Asobo for a marketplace release or xbox release
While we are on the subject of improvements, would it be possible to have a look at the external tank shapes? The pylon and tip tanks should have the exact same shaped ānoseā. As they are right now, the pylon tanks look slightly too pointy, and the tip tanks are too bulbous/rounded.
The pylon tanks are closer to the real thing than the tip tanks, although the very tip of the pylon tankās ānose pieceā should be flattened slightly. See drawings below:
Ignore the orange circled areas on the tip tank drawing, was edited to draw attention for someone else and I canāt find the original drawing nowā¦

Thanks SSW! Installed and done a few short flights. I am suspicious of the reading the APC angle of attach Iām seeing. At cruise, and even at slower speeds where I would expect a higher AOA, Iām seeing at or near zero. Itās only at or near stall conditions, it starts to really move. What say the users?

Loving the update, one small issue I found, going into active pause kills the engine sounds, and it seems like which soundset you lose depends on your view. For instance, I discovered this while active paused in external view and lost external engine sounds, then I active paused in the cockpit and lost the interior engine sounds as well. Not a huge deal for me since I never use active pause, otherwise Iām loving all the fixes and improvements!
Hi all,
I just have written a briefly ātips and tricksā for the normal procedures,rules and performance that we used during testings of the last week (all data written on the document came from manuals)
All the parameters are responding of what you can find after v 2.0,so itās a bit of pleasure to fly the lady on a real flight envelope (or maybe as close as possible to the real one).
Try to make some flights and test following this document,itās a sort of basic training on how to fly our zipper.
Thanks all,
Alessandro

Thanks,weāll have a look
Thanks,just tried to replicate the issue,but with no success,since on external view,in cruise,I made an active pause of 2 minutes,but sound were always on.
Iām glad I found this thread. First of all, a big thank you to SSW for how quickly you brought an update for the aircraft. I am eagerly waiting for Aerosoft to be available. But I still have a problem that I donāt think I have read about here: If I go to the settings using the āEscā key while in flight, the turbine is switched off when I want to continue the flight using āResumeā? (By the way, perfect simulation of āwindmillingā 
)
Is that fixed with the update, or am I doing something wrong? Iām still new to MSFS.
hello,
should not, weāll investigate

Aerosoft has the updated version 2.0.0 ready for download!
I just saw and downloaded and installed it during the lunch break. Canāt wait to try it tonight!
Do you have your mixture mapped to an axis? In the past whenever I had planes die on me after coming back from the esc menu it was because I had a mixture axis that was pulled back to cutoff. Obviously this plane doesnāt have a mixture but if the axis is back to cutoff it could potentially interfere.
Ciao Alessandro, I also find the same fact of a very unresponsive AOA. This even before the update. Having had some experience with the Zipper in previous versions of FSX and P3D, I found it for example very useful in landing to maintain an optimal attitude, but here it is almost unusable ā¦ I did several tests at altitude, and actually it is like says the other user. Iām obviously not sure what the indicator was like in reality, whether like in the P3D versions or now in FS2020. Thanks for the quick and accurate update, now this TF is close to perfection ā¦ different to fly than previous versions of the single seater, but over time I will gain experience.

Ok thanks. I havenāt tried to replicate it since I donāt want to lose sound. It could be because I have the command to turn off active pause coupled with the escape key and another command due to a previous sim update. Probably an issue on my end.
Anybody know how to stop the 3D pilot model from appearing in the cockpit? Or at least how to get rid of it again? Seems to get activated somehow when using external views and then returning to cockpit view. TIA.
