Some of the supposed differences might be susceptible to an objective test - speeds for instance, and even (theoretically) sustained turn rates. At the moment my prototype autopilot system (http://forums.ubi.com/eve/forums/a/tpc/f...4121016097)has only been tested with a stock install, but there is no reason in principle why it won't work with mods. It needs more work to measure turn rates though, and I suspect that w1ndf4k3r may get there first with this one (see http://allaircraftsimulations.com/forum/...39#p329339).
Clearly, testing every aircraft in both mod packs would be tedious though. And even if we find differences, all that might result is an argument about which is correct. Given this, I'm not even sure I'd want to get involved in testing, unless there was an agreed way of arriving at a common standard for mod FMs. This would need good intentions, rather than raking over old arguments about who did what and why...
