SE5a - flies like a space ship?

[arcadayn]

This is my first post on the fourms, as I have only started playing flight sims again (after about a ten year hiatus) over the past couple of weeks. This community is awesome! You guys put some serious work into these sims! I gotta say I'm having almost as much fun modding the game as I am playig it!

 

Anyway, I just did a fresh install with the expansion pack and no April patch so I can use Pete's flight models. While I am having a ton of fun, I noticed that the SE5a can handle about anything I do with the stick without stalling or spinning. It's almost like I'm flying in Xwing or Freespace. I'm pretty sure I installed all the flight models correctly, I'm flying on hard flight model, and I am using the most recent July release by Pete. Do I need to be doing something else?

I'd agree, the stall on the se5a could be improved.

 

Mainly after a stall/spin starts. Its a pretty stable plane at higher speeds, and maintains speed well.

 

Its stall speed is around 45-50 mph, much the same as most, and if your flying at less then 70-80 mph and yank the stick around you will start stalling or spinning.
