Hey this model works perfectly in fs9 you just need to download some generic fighter panel or find some S-37 panel for fs9...the fd

hmm, interesting, im not quite familiar with this fighter

ugly plane..:-/

Its not that bad, certainly looks worse comparing to the normal Su-27.

nice pics

Great pics, unusual angle on those wings, Must get myself one. Sam

The forward sweeping wings are supposed to increase manuverability at low altitude or something like that. Its an interesting design.

Better near-stall performance
FSW is usefull  for Carrier landings

The S-37 not Su-37 i think... Su-37 is the thrust vectoring nozzle vesion of the Su-33. well anyways... the forward swept wings are there to eliminate wing tip stalls that are a very common problem with the backward swept wings. By eliminating wing tip stalls, the S-37 is able to maintain higher angles of attack, and as a result, is able to create higher lift and a tighter turn radius. Ive read somewhere that it can maintain a controlled 45 deg. AoA. while reaching a maximum of 120 degrees AoA while doing the Cobra.  I think the S-37 is the outcome of Russia's research on "Super Agility"

Su-37 is the modified Flanker with TVC

This one is the S-37 (or Su-41)

okay,woody ,you're right. it's an interesting design,but imho,sukhois version of applying forward swept wings to an aircraft is just ugly,compared to the X-29.

But the X-29 only has one engine.

In true Soviet style they had to make theirs bigger  8) .
