The core simulation of LB2 is sound. Great full authority flight model even without VRS, especially for the vast majority of people with spring or pressure sticks and unlike the headache that is dealing with helos in DCS or this lame, simplistic wings leveling junk in EECH, Comanche Gold, or Search & Rescue. I mean, there are ways of dealing with that, but it's not ideal and eventually will catch up with you when you do something like reaching the goofy pitch or roll angle limits. A stable LB2 that actually looked halfway decent and usable? That's definitely marketable. How hard could that be for a company when the core simulation is sound?


The source code is available if you want access to work on the flight model and improve it. Having a general moan about it being crap isn't going to get much done.
