Seems it was fixed in yesterday's update:

Corrected carrier arresting cables physics. Su-33 will not explodes if arresting hook contact with cable in backward move.

Waiting for it to come in the release branch. When it does I will certainly be flying it. I thank the people who worked on this. When more and more flight sims are moving to the paid everything approach, some free content is always welcome.

I had a laugh when the ground crew and ATC started yelling at me in Chinese!

The Su-27 and Su-33 are sexy-looking beasts! I especially like the wing canards on the Su-33, I feel like it makes it look even more aggressive! smile

Well we all criticise ED and DCS,
I know it's only a small mod of an existing aircraft,
and I'm not sure if it was ED or another developer that made it,

but for once I think this is a nice addition and a positive for the series that they put in for free. So I appreciate it as I like the Flanker and any of it's versions.

Now I need to learn how to use the clock and timer in the cockpit to manually time to pitbull on the R-77 as they are not as dummy proof and "digital" as the F-15 and AMRAAM!!!

If I recall from the news letter, it is a 3rd party team that is doing the Chinese assets for free (which is to include various non-playable vehicles). Probably a Chinese group making these out of passion. Probably don't have what it takes to make payware, but starting with an FC3 level aircraft that can use an existing plane as a base is a great way to get a start. If they can expand it further and make a flyable Su-27SM2 I'd be very happy as well.

They're called Deka Ironworks. They are also producing a full module (JF-17) which will probably be released sometime in 2019.

I was having some problems hitting anything with the R-77 and it seems (as usual) there are missile issues: https://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=208672
