Just one niggle of mine: can the roll rate be increased (without impacting the otherwise excellent flight characteristics). I could re-search pilot comments about how quick the JSF controls are. Probably at about 250-350 knot range the ailerons could be more responsive and in any Navy version at Optimum Angle of Attack the aircraft should be very quick and responsive. However overall the flight characteristics are 'like butter' as mentioned by 'neutrino'. Great work by all - JSF a pleasure to use. Many thanks to all involved.SpazSinbadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08839269146502731878noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1343953541946550800.post-74541632164100768802010-05-31T08:30:45.676+02:002010-05-31T08:30:45.676+02:00@ Robby and Neutrino

The HUD looks great and the improved dynamics work very well. <br /><br />As for the FPM, I think the solution proposed by Neutrino is a good compromise.<br /><br />@ All the future customers<br /><br />While this project is (almost) a one man band, it would not have been the same without the contribution of Roberto (who provided a major improvement to the flight dynamics) and Neutrino (who provided a custom -and accuarate- virtual-HUD). Both have provided their contibutions for free - this, of course, will help me in keeping the product price low. <br />In truth, I don't like too much the idea of asking for money for the F-35: for me, FSX is an hobby and not a job. But it is the only way for me to recover the development costs for the F-35 (and for the new T-45 and F-14). While I've sincerely appreciated all the paypal donations, they cover just a small fraction of the expenses I had to face for the F-35.<br /><br />@ All - I still have no internet connection at home and I am not able to read my personal e-mail (which is not accessible from my company's internet connection).ScimmiaSpazialehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04185511694079000055noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1343953541946550800.post-75534978999355793022010-05-29T19:52:53.474+02:002010-05-29T19:52:53.474+02:00That's good

This requires just a small raise in the eye height as you suggested to 3.92. I think this is acceptable, but it's up to Dino. The virtual cockpit eye height must be close to where the external one is to keep things realistic IMHO. I understand that ideally we could increase the FPM limits even more, but in the FSX we don't have the benefits of a real life pilot who can simply peek over (unless we use TrackIR).neutrinohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02313722684532659084noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1343953541946550800.post-22710923135474816812010-05-29T15:12:23.457+02:002010-05-29T15:12:23.457+02:00Thanks Neutrino,

In short, increasing the limit will benefit TrackIR users, but for the rest the FPM will disappear below the front panel instead of stopping there and flashing (a condition known as 'limited HUD'). I also like the flight model - I can comfortably land at 150 kts with a normal AOA of 10 degrees :)neutrinohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02313722684532659084noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1343953541946550800.post-61956230172919144282010-05-27T08:58:17.938+02:002010-05-27T08:58:17.938+02:00@Robby
