weird F-106 flight characteristics

[PraetorH 166]

I am sorry if this is the wrong forum, but I have some problems with the way the F-106 is flying. It may not be a bug but a feature, however I can barely control my plane when flying with speeds between 0.85-0.90 and 1.1-1.15 Mach (approximatly). I know all planes are a bit shaky in the transition from subsonic to supersonic speed, but it does not start that early (Mach 0.90) and it gets stable once Mach 1.00 is surpassed.

Even worse the control problems are so bad that I sometimes dive or climb several dozens of feet due to uncontrolled nose-ups/downs. Also the sight gets so shaky it causes double vision, seeing two MiGs in my sight e.g. although only one is there. It is slightly better without tanks but not much.

 

On another note, I never reached Mach 2 at any height... but that is probably my problem as I seldom reach it with any plane.

 

I am using the NATO-fighters F-106 btw. and I hope you can help me.

Try the attached DATA.INI for the F-106 -- just drop it in your F-106A folder. It should fix the stability problem.

Thank you very much! That seems to have helped.
