Hi,

I'm have having some major problems with the flight models of some, but not all, addon aircraft I have downloaded for FS2002 Pro.

Basically, the flight models are extremely unrealistic --- I am able to pull 20+ G's!!!!, accelerate way too fast, etc.

In particular, I am having this problem with Dean Reimer's series of F/A-18 Hornets.

Well, if it is the problem I am thinking you are having... then I have experienced it also.

Basically, the flight models are extremely unrealistic --- I am able to pull 20+ G's!!!!, accelerate way too fast, etc.

Do you have "Aircraft causes stress" (I think that's it - something very similar if not checked in Settings/Realism?

I have all the realism settings set to max, flight model set to hard, etc.  I have blackouts/redouts on, and have aircraft stress causes damage enabled (which is the most frustrating, since whenever I pull back slightly on the stick, my aircraft is easily overstressed and is destroyed).

It is very unusual, since I have seen various websites review some of the addon planes that I have downloaded, and never mention unrealistic flight models.  Therefore, I think it must be some sort of problem with my FS2002 not recognizing or not being able to read the '.air' file of the aircraft properly...but I am not sure why this is or how I can fix it.

I'm pretty sure these stress figures are determined either in the aircraft.cfg or .air file.

I've looked through both but I'm not sufficiently knowlegeable about these factors to definitely determine which entries are directly resposible I'm afraid.

I have experienced the same problems with the CF18, and there is a fix for this but it still didnt work any better after I installed it.  I tried a lot of em, but ended up dumpin' the CF18 after gettin so fustrated
