It's a great little BFMer. It has plenty of functionality right now, with more to be added obviously.
The flaps issue is known and will be addressed (in what manner, I don't know since I don't have documentation on hornet behavior, but the pitch down should be prevented - this amount of pitch down is insane). Other aircraft, like the F-15 have it as well but it's a) not so severe and b) compensated for by the flight control system. How did this get missed by in house testing?
There was only 16 squadrons of RAF fighters that used 100 octane during the BoB. The Fw190A could not fly with the outer cannon removed. There was no Fw190A-8s flying with the JGs in 1945.

Can you name some planes which drop nose when putting flaps down? I'd be interested. The 737 is said to exhibit a pitch down tendency when the flaps are extended, Piper Tomahawk as well. Low wing configurations in general are prone to having a pitch down tendency unless the flaps change the airflow over the tail to compensate or the FCS rules change when flaps are extended.

"The flight modeling is spectacular." Why do I hear that every time a new module comes out? People apparently become so knowing of any planes' handling characteristics that they feel need to speak out. Then after the first FM update, they're like "yea it's much better now - we luv u ED". But hmmm... wasn't it as good as ever earlier already? You've discovered the secret to having the bestest simulator product ever, not knowing what you're talking about. It's the best! You can be impressed by the supreme realism if you don't know reality. There are no bugs if you don't know it shouldn't do that.

I hope that you realize that these forums are far more rowdier than the consumer support forum - I don't take part in discussions about quality since I don't play DCS very often, but people that do, are very vocal about their opinions. I don't mind rowdy at all, just not looking to start pissing contests or have my posts become one.

The flight modeling is spectacular I don't disagree. I enjoy the flight model of the Hornet, but this has nothing to do with 'reality', it's about what I think reality is. Frederf this is no secret, there was an article in PC Gamer in the 90s that explored this very subject
