A whopping, weighty package, 4 models with different payloads and FDE's (counter-air, interdiction, ACMT, clean) with appropriate AMRAAM/-9X-JDAM-ACMI pod loads; nicely rendered front office with good but basic functionality. A huge offering of paint schemes-though some may find 80 some odd variants a bit much vis a viz load times! Some really nice gauge controlled effects touches like inlet condensation at gee, and nice effects work with A/B and transonic effect. Nicely rendered through out, with sharp looks and solid design work consistent with sound aeronautical, engineering , doctrinal and operational principles. A couple of glitches had crept in, though of the finger trouble type:
the texture config file is missing from all the repaints. an easy, cut and paste fix. easy to over look in the scramble to get a big file organized.
Flight model. Right away, excessive nose up and right roll and no trim; a check of control and settings, fuel load was quickly eliminated. A read through the config file quickly showed a mistake in sign of the fuel tank co-ordinates, placing all the fuel on the right side of the aircraft. Replacing the missing minus sign fixes that.
It looked to my eye that the aircraft was loaded aft, and a relocation of the CG aft relieved the pitching. I increased the stability ratios in pitch and role, added differential brakes, and the aircraft flys and behaves well throughout its envelope; and exhibits exceptional post stall maneuverability and supercruise.
I still do find it a bit over sensitive, so adjust to suit ones own tastes and hardware.
Updated FDE. Cut and paste onto a backed up copy; in case you don't like it. save your aircraft entries.
Loads of fun, highly recommended, goes great with the CFB North Star scenery pack and AI package!
