On a scale of 1-10 (with 10 being best), how do you rate your Overall Enjoyment of this aircraft?
I’ve got a pretty sizeable amount of hours in this plane in DCS, I trust their flight models much more than anything Asobo has put out. The 2024 version feels ridiculously overpowered, it feels almost like they just made a caricature for the flight model. It accelerates like crazy while at the same time it can drop that speed just as fast. The takeoffs I did with it have me drifting all over the runway because either the the engine torque is overdone or there’s something else going wrong. It is supposed to have torque on takeoff but given that I had set the takeoff rudder trim to account for it and it still started wildly drifting from side to side, something seems to be done incorrectly.
The plane seems to be a different model from the one in DCS, but I would still be skeptical of the performance it seems capable of. Also, the startup procedure seems pretty abbreviated, You can just immediately put the mixture control lever to run, put in some primer and do the starter. In DCS you have to put it in idle cutoff, use the starter and then when it kicks over move the mixture lever to run. I don’t know whether this is authentic to the 2024 model, but it is something I noticed.
