First, many thanks to SAS~Monty27 and all who have put together this excellent package for IL2. I have everything through part 24 loaded and it works marvelously. I have used IL2 since shortly after its release and believe it is the best combat flight simulator available. What you and the others have done with TFM412 makes it better than ever. I cannot thank all of you enough for what must have been a tremendous amount of work.
I would very much like to assist someone in remedying FM issues that occur in several jet aircraft. The FM is not very accurate for the A-4 versions - as an example, the speed brake deploys automatically between 390 and 420 KIAS depending on model. This did not occur in the real a/c. There are flying qualities and performance issues with the F-8's, the F-86's, and the F-4's - and probably others as well. I can assist someone who knows how to modify FM files by then evaluating those modifications against real a/c performance.
(Note: I am in no way complaining about your work on TFM412 as these FM issues have existed since each of these a/c were introduced into IL2. I feel I can speak with a bit of authority regarding the jets as I have over 4,600 hours in jet fighters, including 2,000+ in various F-4 versions and 1,000+ hours in several A-4 models. I was an experimental test pilot for the USMC and flew a wide variety of a/c although some cases were for less than 10 hours in each type.)
If someone you know or someone on this forum has an interest in FM improvement, please let me know.
Thank you again,
