Well, the question says it all. Which of the new planes have actually new and realistic fm's? For example, has the famous spit xiv a new fm? What about the other mods?

Is it planned that only new mod planes will be added to 'offcial' UI patches' that have a proper and well tested new fm?

Regards,

I was there and spent many an hour with hunin, wolf, and jolly on the testing of the XIV fm,Hunin and i co wrote the fm on the fw-190 A3, most new planes have new fms or at some point will have a new fm

4./JG53_Howlin,

Thanks for the quick answer, but it only partially answers my question ;-) I understand the A3 and XIV actually do have a new fm, but what about the others?

Can maybe someone from AAA compile a list of new mod planes that have up to date, new and well tested fm's?

Thanks,
Mark

most new aircraft have a new fm, if you look at ac threads, it usualy says. i'm not going to make a list right now, i'm busy saving the world and whatnot

All new planes that require some version of the AC Installer have new FM's. So if there is a download link for AC Installer near the download link of the plane then the plane has a new FM. To fly those planes you need the latest version of AC Installer (now 3.8 ). If an AC Installer is not needed, then the plane doesn't have a new FM.

Latest versions of Halifax and Typhoon also have new FM's, but those are not in AC Installer 3.8, and I'd recommend waiting for AC Installer 3.9 before installing them, unless you are experienced at fixing compatibility problems.

I didn't know the AC installer contains the fm. So, each new version of AC installer means new FM's for some planes?

Thanks and regards,

Usually yes, but not always. Some new AC Installer versions may just fix some bugs found in the previous version, but usually a new AC Installer in released because some new planes are waiting for their new FM's to be included in the AC Installer. Also the FM's of earlier new slot planes may be changed in new versions of AC installer, but all the planes of unmodded game have still the original FM's in any AC Installer version.

Now at least Sabre, Mig-15 and Thunderjet are waiting for AC Installer 3.9 that should be released soon after Unified Installer 1.2. The UI 1.2 also includes many new planes with new FM's.
