Thanks Bjoern.
to be honest, I think i'm fighting one of flight sims limitations. I wasnt sure until this very morning that it could be made to work. The main physics are... well, bizarre, and frustrating. Everything we think should be in an airplane, doesnt exist with this one. what does exist are the forces you find inside a storm cloud, and how to make that translate to an airplane is STILL a mystery to me. I feel like a first grader again..
I know many people will find this to be a physically ( and perhaps philosophically ) ugly plane, but the capabilities are in that design, and that design alone. form follows function. To me, because of that, this is maybe the most beautiful aircraft on the face of the earth. A true eagle amidst a bunch of birds. Now! Will someone please make an fsx native model of it for me to marry the completed flight model too?? Please??
