To resume.
The tests in this report follow the exact methodology described in the official documentation, and all data was obtained directly in game under equivalent conditions. This allows for a direct and valid comparison between the WT flight model simulation results and real aerodynamic data.
Unlike previous reports, this one includes clear in game evidence, with more than 30 captures. The comparison shows that, although the trends match, the drag is consistently higher across all regimes, configurations, and types of tests, making the excess clearly visible and reproducible

because it HYPERrealistic
for example, i was trying to do a 9g sustained turn at 860kmh (in game it at 870) and it is impossible because any movement of aircraft will change speed and alt very hard, but in paper and on statshark charts it is right and plane can sustain 9g, but in game you can do it only when your alt is constant
I’m waiting 3 years for some kind of fulcrum FM miracle, i thought the 9-15 was the one but it wasn’t lol.
I hope you get something out of this

Well, all MiG-29 variants in the game are built on the same aerodynamic base. If that base is incorrect, then all of them should be adjusted accordingly just like what was done with the Flankers, or previously with the F-16s.
I have invested a significant amount of time into this report, specifically addressing the common reasons used to reject reports. I used reliable sources and no third ones, a ton of valid in game extracted data, and provided step by step justification with proper reasoning, all cross referenced with the documentation.
At the end of the day, you learn from past mistakes, and this report reflects that, or at least for me

He’s just tired of carrying entire Russian fleet on his back
And i thank you for investing so much time elaborating the report, even if they don’t accept it, it’s good to see that there are still people paying attention on vehicles that got practically forgotten by the devs.
Fulcrum is still my favorite jet fighter, it’s a bit sad to see it performing so much worse than other 4th gen, even more when it doesn’t offer anything at least equal to the flanker which shares the same br.

Why are half of the Russian planes I see in this forum upside down lmao ToT
Aww I want to pet them now (I already did tho)
Question, this is the same manual that developers already have access to from previous reports no?
I don’t know about that. What I do know, because I’ve looked into it, is that reports based on this manual were often accompanied by third party sources or failed to demonstrate evidence from within the game, which is why they were rejected, not because of using this manual itself.
Additionally, the CMs have stated that as long as you include a screenshot of the cover and the relevant pages you’re referencing, clearly indicating the figure and page number, the source is considered valid. That’s exactly what I’ve done

Holy peak, we might be so back now

Gotta wait for devs give feedback, not being denied is good but waiting for an actual response is better.
Same goes for the SM2 RWR report for example.
