My 2cts comments FF3 Flight Envelope : pessimistic Reasonable under 30,000ft Maximum mach at 36,000 / 40,000 ft should be 2.35 instead of 2.15 Acceleration : accurate /pessimistic Very realistic, and if not, (between 20,000 and 35,000ft) rather pessimistic Maximum Available G : optimistic Between .5 and 1 G more than real life a low mach (< 0.45 at SL) Largely over estimated in supersonic and at high altitude Maximum Sustained G : optimistic between 1 and 2 G more than real life at sea level and low mach (< 0.45) Roll Rate: very optimistic Maximum value largely over-estimated (300 instead of 160) Negative impact of high dynamic pressure under estimated IN GENERAL In level flight configuration, FF3 MIG-29 Fulcrum does not have the advantage versus the Viper (F16-C Blk52) it should have, especially at high altitude In term of turn rate, the FF3 MIg-29 Fulcrum is closer to the Viper (F16-C Blk52) than it should be. Where the Viper should have a significant advantage
