I tend to go on feeling as I’m not a real pilot - just an ex aircraft dispatcher AKA Ramp rat.
There are very few aircraft in the sim that give me what feels like a realistic flight experience. This aircraft is one of those rare ones. (The A2A Comanche, the Black Square Dukes and the Just Flight F28 also score highly).
Many of the senior jet captains I worked with (and this was in the days before widespread CRM and high automation ) would always be exhorting their copilots to ”fly the plane”. Sounds a bit basic to a ramp rat - but you find out exactly what they meant when you get into the 35a. The take off roll and rotation make you feel you are right there. But you need to have planned well ahead too as the 35a busts through speed and level restrictions if you don’t… Of course, what the captains meant when they said this is that the aircraft will get ahead of you if you don’t maintain full concentration and plan well ahead.
This and the F28 both give the feeling of flying an old era jet aircraft and I love them both for that. Personally I’m not really wanting to go into such depth as dealing with complex failures, the flight experience is everything, so to me this aircraft rates a rare 10/10…
