Default RE: AFP realism

I agree with you fully. But like I said it is impossible to create exact replicas of what all the planes all over the world will fly like. Sure I agree that some of the planes on the sim is absurd in how unrealistic they are. And of course loads of the stuff you find for download on the internet are so bad it is sickening. But that is just the thing, you will never get it exact no matter how real any different person sees a plane to fly. I can tell you the extra flies exactly like mine. But if I go fly yours in real life our two extras will fly differently no matter what we do. Your wing could be a little more straight than mine or whatever the case may be. I can not comment on how the perimiters on AFP work yet because I am just learning so much and enjoying mine so much that I do not take the time to fiddle with the planes. But I'm sure someone will help us out on that matter real soon.

Let's take a silly example. About 6 months ago I did not know the meaning of 3D, and alot of people here on RCU could verify that because I asked alot of questions. No one here where I fly knows what it means or flies 3D. I had to learn from reading. I could not get my hands on one single 3D capale plane at the time and this made matters worse. Only now am I busy building my first 3D profile. Now I have practised forever on AFP to harrier and torque roll and do rolling harriers etc. Now on saturday I was givin the sticks on a 3DX foamy to see if it is capable. Obviously it would require my fingers to be sorta capable as well and guess what, they and the plane were from the launch. I didn't fly normal once. Inverted harriers. Rolling harriers. All was done in a blink of an eye? Now tell me that doesn't mean something?
