There seems to be an uptick in Political comments in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religious comments out of the forums.
If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.
Please note any post refering to a politician will be considered political even if it is intended to be humor. Our experience is these topics have a way of dividing the forums and causing deep resentment among members. It is a poison to the community. We appreciate compliance with the rules.

Oh I forgot to mention - as it is my Birthday - anybody who purchases the Flanker today gets 50% off the Mirage V2 when relased - but only for today - and of course if you want the Mirage :ernae:
Just a mad moment really.

Anyone who hasn't taken the plunge to buy the Flanker yet is missing a lot of fun!
Just after just a few minutes of flying around and getting the feel of it, you'll be able to really dig into the flight model.
For performing a Pugachev Cobra maneuver, the entry speed is around 280 kias and in level flight(you can perform the maneuver in other attitudes of flight). Simply make a steady brisk pull on the stick until maximum defection and the plane will pitch up past the 90 degree mark very quickly. To recover, push forward on the stick and add power as needed. You will get a stall & max AoA warning through the maneuver. Just keep in mind that at very high AoA, the plane will slip and sink very quickly in vertical attitudes and you want to avoid high AoA maneuvering at low energy state and low altitude.
Tail slides are easy. Just point it up and cut throttle. Recovery is easy not unlike a Cessna.
There's a lot of excellent Flanker demo reference videos out there to get a good idea on for building maneuver envelope knowledge. This model will pretty much cover all of the standard Flanker's envelope!

I bought this because of the positive posts on this post. I absolutely love the SU27, but this is the biggest waste this year if the problems are not fixed!
1. You can't see the wings from the cockpit.
2. You can pull a cobra from virtually any speed.
3. You can cut engines from 30000 ft and basically glide for miles and miles without applying any throttle.
on the flip side
1. It has a great sound.
2. The modeling is great.
3. The cockpit looks great.
4. Plenty of skins to go around.
It's got the makings of a great add-on but I hope it gets fixed soon.....
