I'm sorry to interrupt this party, but still I've got that strange behaviour when starting cold-n-dark. Either that poor little plane gets thrown into the air or some force keeps dropping that ten-ton-weight on it when starting up. Noticed the update for the open cockpit model (model + .cfg-files), but it's still the same with both open and closed models.
Btw, in the open cockpit version, when the Luftwaffe version is loaded, the underwing markings seem to be mirrored. I could fix that thanks to PS, so no big deal.
PS: Love the I-VENK reg number.
Is that a historical registration or was that just for fun?
