Can you point me to that "Edge" plane?

I believe this is the one Zlin is talking about. Maybe he will confirm.

Sorry Guys, I really can't remember where I found it. :( I think the author was a german guy... But as far as I remember, this little stuff works together only with that Edge-540. But I'm not sure in that.

Zlin, is this the one you're referring to?

My only problem is that you wrote: the roll doesn't stop immediatelly when neutralizing ailerons!

Its weird - i have full realism set for aircraft and find that doing a four point hesitation roll is no prob. the roll just stops on neutral aileron.

Could it be that the spring on my Cyborg X stick is so forcefull that it makes sure i really do return to neutral? I find anything off centre will keep it rolling.
 
I can confirm also that rolling stops instantly for me when neutralizing ailerons.

The plane is very responsive and behaves realistically in other ways many others do not. For instance when climbing if you push the stick forward suddenly you should experience a loss of lift. This happens every time in Il2-1946 (which I flew exclusively for 2 years and gives me my grounding in flight models - I am no expert just that experience only) but rarely in FSX. It happens with this plane.

I had based my initial opinion about its flying realism on the lack of spinning ability (you need to hold the rudder) however it seems to excel in most other areas. I am now more impressed with it. This is no default plane flight model.

I was flat out wrong to judge it on one thing and not the whole flight model.
 
Anyone know how close they are to releasing the Sukhoi? The Pitts looks great, but I really want the Sukhoi!
 
Well I finally decided to buy. What a great piece of modelling! for the money:engel016:

My observations;

Too much specular.
Too much (overall) cartoonish look on the exterior. Crayons?

Well we'll just have to agree to differ.
I think for a first product from a new developer this is a fantastic model. I also like the glass especially: there is a "bloom" like effect which is the way sun-on-glass should look like without the frame rate debilitating internal, FsX bloom.

Sorry, though I'm honestly not trying to bash the model as I don't have it. All I can base judgment on are the photos displayed on the net. I have read a lot of good comments, and looked a many screens. From what I do see it appears to be superior in a lot of areas compared to past payware developed. Being a painter I notice things (like others I am sure) that don't catch the average eye.

Now I'll step down the ladder a rung or two. Even my paint work could be a LOT better. I'm learning.
 
Funny...this seems to be some of the best visual work on a flight sim plane that I've ever seen. :jump: The use of a custom fresnel ramp and envmap seem to be giving a quite outstanding lighting effect on the plane.
 
I think the look is great. Watching the shade move across from one side of the plane to the other adds immersion for me.

I also think it looks more realistic. I went to a real-life flight show a few weeks ago.

I think the plane is also a fantastic first release for the price. I would like it to spin but that is all.

Since spinning is caused (according to wikipedia) by rate of yaw I tried changing some variables purely in the aircraft.cfg that only affected this aspect and none other. Initial results are actually surprisingly very good I think considering I did not touch the air file at all. I did get it to spin a little without changing anything else that I could see. Doing more testing though.

Like the sounds too.

My opinions.
 
I bought this but I don't really fly it that much. Get's a bit boring when I remember I cannot perform aerobatics :(

This would be awesome with a good FDE update.
