Flawed Flying Models

You can trim most of the nastiness out of her, but the two IJN attack planes don't even have any trim controls!! If this group ever decides to do something with the FMs of some of these planes that they have brought to life, those three ought to be at the top of the list. At the very least, you might be able to turn the two IJN planes into decent flyers by just adding trim controls in all three axes.

AMEN!!!!!!!! I would not support in any way modifying the FM of standard flyable aircraft because although they might not be completely correct I like to believe Oleg & co made an honest effort and their "best guess" is just as good or better than anybody elses. The problem is with the FM of some of the new AI flyable planes, especially the ones listed above. I think the speed, acceleration,etc... are all pretty good but the torque effects are insane..especially on the TBM which has a humongous wing which is also very long (giving it a ton of leverage on the airframe). There is no way in hell that the torque effect on this plane is even close to being correct.

The TBM had a 1700hp R2600 engine while the F4U had an 1850 hp R2800 engine. The TBM was heavier with more wing surface (ie: a lot more resistant to torque rotation) yet it has at least 10 times the torque effect of the F4U. This is the type of thing I would support changing.
