Default Physics Question

Are there setting in AFPD for aircraft that were not in the original AFP? In other words, AFPD has improved physics... Are these all in the engine itself? I guess what I'm asking is, If I fly an aircraft that was designed for AFP, will it fly better (more realistically) in AFPD?

Default RE: Physics Question

The physics for AFP are in the engine. They take the calculations off the shape of the airplane. Which is a good thing, especially for the OMP downloads as those planes are modeled with the same CAD files we send to the ARF manufacturers.

But yes, they have improved the physics engine, but I don't know exactly how. When you fly the ShockFlyer and smaller planes you can see it immediately.

Now when I fly the OMP Bipe on AFP then over on AFPD i can see a noticeable difference. Since the original AFP's physics were so close, it's hard to tell, but I can notice it.
