I've been trying out the B24J and the H8K1
Its great to have the opportunity to try out these large aircraft, particularly the flying boats.
I'm sure I've read elsewhere that the FM's of the AI aircraft are simpified in the sim. My experience seems to support this.
If you try landing in the H8K1 with landing flaps down the aircraft struggles to stay down and once on the water it just keeps going and takes for ever to stop.
The aircraft movement does not seem to be greatly affected by the viscous effect of the water.
With the B24J I have a similar problem landing with full flaps down. It doesnt slow down in the same way as a non AI aircraft and very easily becomes airborne again.
I dont know enough about FM's to comment much more, but is this something that could be adjusted to make AI aircraft FM's more like the non AI equivalents?
