Alpha SR-71A/B, native materials and format, Version Zero.
The flight model blows so bad. It's great up to transonic, in the circuit, take off and landing. It's a mess supersonic, even in autopilot. Side burner'd for a bit by the Northrop Wing's, so I didn't do anything with the FDE, panel, ect. Still needs a drag-chute in a bit, but the flight model desperately requires serious grinding.

Not sure how Glowingheat worked around it or solved it, but flight dynamics at the very edge of FSX' envelope are a challenge in itself.

A typical problem I had was after climbing to a decent altitude (40,000), setting AP for Alt and Hdg Hold, the airplane tracked just as I would expect. .. .however make even a slight adjustment in heading using the AP and the bird would push over into a negative-G loop, then recover at the top and track the new heading. The loss of altitude was usually about 20,000'. I also had one instance (actually the last one before I trashed the airplane and selected a model that would actually fly) where after it recovered from the loop it maintain a high angle of attack that was unrecoverable. Even after taking it out of AP, no amount of fwd stick pressure would lower the nose and no change in throttle setting had any affect on speed beyond the 192kias it was stuck on. Definitely has a problem.
