Why do bird like this always seem to get released when I'm up to my neck with work... not fair, wont have a chance to inspect her for about 3 weeks

Anyway,is one of my favourites iron birds..Nice looking job.

Framerates are very good (even with the radar active), have made 1 short flight sofar: Take off rotation was smooth and at advertized speed, landing speed is as noted in the reference (150 -160KTS) but I have read RW pilot reports saying they always kept final approach speed at least 175 kts.

Framerates are excellent. Flys great though and looks really good. Nice and easy to take off and land. Need to work on my zoom climbs though as I was maxing out at about 58k yesterday - perhaps a bit too much fuel on board.

Anyone else seeing the left aileron not moving when the stick is moved left or all the control surfaces down and immobile from the cockpit? I reported to JF support and was told to check calibration!

nav lights too bright as you can see in the screenies
it's fast. you can get to 60,000 feet very quickly.
starts to wobble below 180 knots. controls highly sensitive at slower speeds. Keep it flat on landing approach.
Sound set is great. TSS did a nice job here.

more to come as I dig into the manual.

I went out and looking at a lot of EEL web video. Very little smoke if any visible, so this is more accurate than I originally thought.

For me it's the right aileron that only slightly moves. Roll rate is unaffected in either direction so I'm assuming it's not a calibration issue.

Do I remember wrong, but was there somebody doing a freeware model at present as well?

confirmed, not moving.

Also, landing lights show through wings with wheels up
Actuator bar punches through the air brake in operation.

Right aileron moves slightly up/down, left one only goes down and then seems to be slightly detached from the pivot if you zoom in close. IMHO it is a model/animation issue because my Saitek X52 pro is properly calibrated and the plane responds correctly to joystick input along all axis.

Already done. Just wanted to point out though, it's really a beautiful release and handles like a dream. I'm totally pleased with my purchase

Done, if you need a beta tester for the service pack/hotfix, just send me a PM. Same as svicar, I am very happy with this EE Lightning, I do hope you can fix the few minor glitches we found.

cheers, Henk

This is a superb aircraft and i'm absolutely loving flying it. Thank you Just Flight.

Anyone know if the missiles are removable and whether I should be getting vortices from the wingtips in any stages of flight as I don't see any?

Right, enough of this banter - i've got some circuits & bumps to practise.

Regards

Mike
