There, however, it is extremely unstable, especially around the roll axis. I haven't been able to fly controlled curves so far. The elevator also hardly reacts to the instructions from the cockpit. I also fly the MB-339. It is stable in the air and reacts to rudder movements as I expect. At the moment it is not much fun to fly the G-91. Maybe there will soon be an update that stabilizes the flight behaviour.
Best plane so far in my opinion for MFS2020..
The textures are very nice, the cockpit looks really great with the old touch, also you´ll get fantastic liveries.. and it´s so nice to fly.
Worth every cent.. definitely 5 stars...
maybe some sound is missing for the buttons and raindrops.. but hey.. come on..
And:
SimSkunkWorks has an excellent customer service...
they will help you fast and friendly...
in my case I have bought the plane in MFS Store... here you will getting no weapons and guns, because Microsoft don´t want to support weapons.. - thats praiseworthy.. but for the money you´ll pay you can get a original plane with everything from simmarket.
I asked for help and they changed the plane, so I got the download directly from Simskunkworks via SimMarket.. thanks again for this great customer service
Fazit: You´ll have to buy, best jet plane in MFS2020
I have been flying this aircraft for over a week now and i am so happy with it.
The textures used outside the aircraft are fantastic and are highly detailed.
Inside the cockpit looks as it should for a used 1950's fighter,spot on complete with wear marks and not looking new.
There are some low resolution textures inside, at least it looks like that at 1080p but unless you look for them you will not notice them.
How does it fly?
Well it flies like a 1950's fighter jet loaded with a sort of old fashioned autopilot called "YOU" :)
Yep you have to fly this bird and treat it right because unlike some other aircraft seen in this game,this aircraft turns the game into a sim and so you learn to fly it or crash,simple as and as good as that,or in short,fantastic.
The navigation system is a pleasure to use and works well once you learn how to set up a flight and to help you learn how to do this there are some video's out there that will show you how to do this (in game flight planner will not set a flight for this system).
This brings a new level of immersion and fun to the sim.
The load out system works well and will affect the way the aircraft flies.
So now onto the bad bits.
There are some minor buttons that don't work but atm the worst thing for me that is not working is the flap lever but i am sure this will get an update at some point.
To conclude, Sim Skunk Works has pulled it out the bag on this one and i do believe you will not be sorry with a purchase of this aircraft.
Please note
If you buy this aircraft from in game marketplace,you will find that the gunsight and the weapons loadout have been removed due to there policy of no weapons in mfs,,,,,,so if you want the weapons and the gunsight,buy it here at simmarket.
Now go fly old school style and smile.
Thank you Sim Skunk Works!
Also I would like the GUN to work, but I guess I'm hoping for too much now. :P
Cheers, Dave.
The interior are perfect with weathering effect.
Recommended addon!
Aside of that bug, the systems works fine, it fly great and the liveries and 3d model are perfect.
- Pitch control is very sensitive almost unrealistic.
- A lot of cockpit textures seem to be pixelated.
- Cockpit Flaps lever was not animated.
- All external animations were just not there. All flight control surfaces didn't show.
Took almost 20 minutes of flying to see them work.
- Internal engine sounds were almost overpowering.
- Trying to do touch and go did not work more than once. When landing at anytime, using or not using chute will stop your aircraft and will NOT let you take off again until you activate/deactivate the Emergency Brake.
Further patches need to be implemented, especially for payware.
Vielleicht schreibt mal einer bei seiner Bewertung wie er das Wunder vollbracht hat
Pro:
- very good texture
- most buttons works
- it feels a little "strong headed", just as a FIAT should feel like
Contra:
- not really realistic (and MSFS is a simulation)
- it feels like there is a kind of limitation set for making your life easier
- NO SOUND for the switches (why? even free add-ons have a sound for that ... please fix it, please!)
- It breaks automatically when you land (perhaps this simulates the parachute?)
Fazit:
Fix the contras and you have a very nice model!
So of course I bought it right away.
I loaded it up at EDMO Oberpfaffenhofen, where the first German-built G.91 rolled off the assembly line. The first impression was a kind of walk around with the exterior camera. Much attention to detail. Canopy up, speed brakes out, ladder mounted to the cockpit. Nicely done German Luftwaffe livery.
Sitting inside the well-worn oldtimer the level of detail also reminded me of the MB-339 again. This simply looks real.
Start procedure behind me and the Bristol-Siddley Orpheus first sizzles a little and then comes to life. High pitched at first, but after letting it warm up a little and pushing the throttle to the stops (with the parking brakes on of course) the roar comes. Far removed from IndiaFoxTecho’s vacuum cleaner sound track. This feels like more power than the little Fiat actually has. I can almost feel the vibrations.
Strangely enough before I started the engine, the clicks of all the little buttons and switches were not simulated. I also cannot hear the rain on the canopy or the sound of the flaps being lowered and raised. One could argue, that wearing a helmet one couldn’t hear them anyway in real life, but somehow I miss those little sounds.
Ok, throttle to idle. Parking brakes off, and I’m rolling towards the runway. The front wheel feels extremely direct. I dispense with asking for clearance put the flaps down a notch and press the throttle to the stop as soon as the front wheel touches the runway.
The Fiat gathers speed quickly and takes a gently tug on the stick to lift off. Gear and flaps up and off I go toward the mountains. In the hilly terrain I am keeping low following first a big lake and then a larger winding river. The ailerons responds instantly to any command. A little too instantly in my opinion, so I apply some more throttle and climb to 10000ft in order to play around a little more. Climbing I noticed that - contrary to the aileron input, the plane takes a lot of elevator input to react. The same is true for tight turns. It’s tremendously difficult to pull it into a high-G turn. The roll rate however is totally off the chart. Flying straight and pulling the stick hard to the side the plane suddenly rolls extremely violently. It appears like it’s rolling faster than even the Extra could. When I keep the stick pulled for 2-3 rotations the plane spins totally out of control for a moment. Releasing the stick stablises the plane quickly - mostly in a high speed dive.
Flying straight also gave me difficulties. Despite the rather sluggish elevator control, the plane is extremely hard to keep trimmed properly.
All this behaviour feels very alien to me. While I have never flown a real fighter jet I can only compare it to previous simulator experiences, the MB-339 and common sense. All of which tells me the roll rate is much too high, the elevator is much to sluggish and the plane overall is very twitchy and sensitive.
I tried solving the issue with the sensitivity settings, but couldn’t find any setting that made the exterme roll tolerable apart from using the extremity dead zone and more or less crippling the aileron input. Still it somehow feels wrong to me. Maybe it’s just me, I don’t know.
Another thing that is probably more easily solved than the flight model, is the simulated “head camera”. In all planes of MSFS the head movement is simulated so that the view shifts slightly when the plane climbs, sinks or flies a curve. In the Fiat, however, during more harsh maneuvers the simulated head/view/eyes - whatever you like to call it moves around the cockpit so fast and violently that it becomes disorientating for me. People with sensitive stomachs beware!
One last thing about the sound: while I like the engine sound so much, that I tried it out with the MB-339, I noticed that the gear bump on touch down is rather harsh, no matter how soft you set down the plane. The P.149 has the same problem. Maybe something to do with Italian planes license-built in Germany :wink:
All in all I find the Fiat a terrific looking plane with lots of little details. It really makes the impression that the developers put a lot of love and effort into it.
However, as it is currently, it will only be something pretty to look at for me. I simply don’t enjoy flying it. But I really hope SimSkunkWorks will change the flight model.
- Please make the artificial intelligence "bomb aircraft" go away - my airports are littered with spare bombs in parking spots. I know there is a workaround with a config file edit, could you make that default, PRETTY PLEASE?
- Can we please have a functional speed brake lever/button? I know it can be triggered using a keybind, but some of us prefer operating levers in the virtual cockpit.
Those two things would push it to 5 stars. In reality, it's a 4 star aircraft, but the devs are very active responding to the community and working on it, so I won't dock a star in review.
GET IT! It's the best fighter jet out for MSFS at the moment, along with Dino's MB-339.
Excellent aircraft to fly. I love being able to put on different tanks and scoot around for short flights. Thanks to the analogue gauges and the developers, this is the most FPS friendly aircraft I use, making it an absolute joy to fly with.
Some people have had control problems - but I think this is more the case of the flight dynamics of MSFS rather than the devs. You learn to get around it.
As a flight experience, the engine is nice to control, and the aircraft is enjoyable to trim.
Cheers!
The plane is not without issues, including the aforementioned cockpit audio, and a few minor things such as the radio frequency display in the cockpit not matching up. That being said, I did not dock the score for these issues. Why not? Because the developer is active in the community, communicating with simmers day & night about upcoming patches and content, and even providing updated files for those that wish to try new things out. I also had a customer service issue and received a response back within 5 minutes. These guys are passionate about their product, and it shows. Look forward to their future work.
Our initial visual impressions regarding the Look of this Aircraft being that She was a bit of an Ugly Duckling. By the time we’d completed a couple of circuits this Jet had grown her Wing’s and landed like a Swan ,… albeit a slightly Tubby and 'Rubenesque one.
We loved the sound of the Under Inflated Tyres smacking down on the Tarmac.
The Comprehensive Documentation included will keep you in Bed Time Reading for a few happy hour’s.
We could find no fault with this Aircraft which has been Detailed and Reproduced perfectly.
Our observation’s are as a result of studying the Wiki info and noticed that Trainer’s were also made.
We hope that Alessandro and the Team will consider adding a Twin Seat version as a future development of this Project.
The PAN version, developed for the "Frecce Tricolori" acrobatic team, they say it will also be available shortly with the next update. Finally, I guess that the G-91R by SSW is one of the best military aircraft simulator available today on the FS2020 platform.
There are few things that probably will be improved upon. The landing gear handle itself doesn't seem to move. And neither does the flap lever. But it's to see from indicators that they are down or not. Lots of clickable buttons, and the cockpit itself is just amazing.
The sound is good too. I highly recommend this!
It floats like a balloon
No hate.I believe they will fix it.
Awesome detail and overal quality.Awesome sounds as well.
I just found MAJOR BUGS at the camera selection.I press the default buttons for the views and it gets me inide the engines cables-textures etc and then it fixes by it's own.
I surely believe that they will update it.
Good price which i can forgive many things,unlikely some other which ask 33 euros for CRAPPY F15
