Thank you. Is it ok if I get some more footage of these bugs and send them to you? The videos I provided are pretty short, so I just wanted the demonstration to be easier to understand (especially the bug with TWS missing targets).

Ofcourse, shoot me a DM.

Well then lets hope they dont fk up Su-35/37.

Well we can hope but like @Malekitth said those are all based on the og su27, if the su27 fm sucks then late flankers most likely will suck too

The Su-35S has a slightly modified airframe. The Su-35S also lacks an air brake behind the cockpit. It is stopped using flapperons and rudders.

Yep, gets spoofed by missiles every time, unintentionally

I tested the R-73 with a friend, look how it shakes. It can’t even stabilize without fuel.

Unusually the R-73 seems more stable if its turning instead of flying in a straight line

Yes, it looks very strange.

There have been several instances when using an R73 that I overtake my own missile and nearly get shot down by it because it pulls too much AOA off the rails when it really doesn’t need to.

Seems rather problematic as the oscillation is causing very severe drag issues ontop of being very slow to accelerate.

But even if it gets some minor modifications, large parts of the original design were maintained. I doubt it’ll be enough to make it decent compared to the western aircraft, even more if we consider that those also got modified on their late variants.

But perhaps until then the og FMs will all get fixed or at least improved, we need to wait and see what happens.

I really wish we could turn off automated tracking mode switching. There have been many times where I’ll try to switch from an IRST to a radar lock and it’ll just stay IRST. I’ll be spamming the fire missile and wonder what’s going on and then I realize I have mess to with the radar/irst :(

Does anybody know if a pdf of this book is available online? Does it have info that the Su-27SK employment manual?

Havent flown the Su-27 love the look of it.
Whats the main issues with it, when I face it in the Tornado they seem to do well?
Is it just an FM issue? Avionics, missiles?
