Been studying the bouncy thing very closely and conclude is normal thing w/ this bird and because she has so much power she responds a little differently than the average WW2 bird that I've gotten used to. Happens at low speeds only and when...1-on a steep climb(...takeoff?...), when peaking out plane reverts to dive on loss of speed. She bounces "a little more than the average bird"...(...operative word is "a little"...). Reason is because she has so much power that she countermands the dive to a certain extent and causes a bounce...and...2-upon slowing down to "catch-down" to a slower enemy. If the Phantom is doing 1000km/h in an effort to catch-down with an enemy doing say, 450km/h, a drop in throttle to zero is attempt to slow down plane. On acceleration most planes will have a slight "up-pitch" to the nose. Upon deceleration, there is a slight down pitch to the nose. This is true of all aircrafts to varying degrees>>>>FACTORS CAUSING THIS>>>>a-pitch or angle of climb b-speed of craft c-power of engine d- aero-dynamic design of aircraft e-rate of slowdown...the faster a plane is going, the more effects the "changing factors of the wind" and the more turbulance on a slowdown...hence the bouncy thing...
SUMMARY...CONCLUSION---The birds FM accurately portrays behavior in speed/altitude expectations. The bouncy thing is non-existant in straight normal flying. Slightly more than average WW2 bounciness to be expected due to reasons stated above. The bird so far seems a masterpiece!!!!
A true feather-in-the-cap for Free-Mod team. Opens up Viet Nam era with more interest and demand. CONGRADULATIONS!!!!
CARRIER TAKE-OFFS---PALS mod helped to where I can now take-off only at 20% fuel and no weapon loadout. This doesnt seem right...theres something wrong here. Also, on all CTOs with four planes wings unfold to touch other planes. When one takes off it destroys other planes. In four planes they align either 3x1 or 4x across and planes are too close to eachother. If only two planes they they are right against eachother even though there is available space which would cause this problem not to happen. Hope this is not a cross thread. Any help would be most appreciated!
