We go further.

Yes agree, on not to a supersmall altitude them It is difficult to shake
from a tail, because
They twist, basically, Low-Yo-Yo when feel, that lose lead. We fall on 30ì.
For low-yo-yo there is no reserve.
Speed while maneuvering on supersmall drops up to 300, so on hi-yo-yo not
suffices (as it seems) energy. Also flies he as the ram on a flat sine wave,
only changes
course as a sailing frigate. Good I think, take me. I retract an
afterburning. The altitude 10m, flying is direct, nobody I touch. 1 minute -
anything, 1.5 minutes - anything. Split-S and padlock -
nothing to padlock. We cut down, we look the track. Is clarified following:
sits boton a tail but hardly above. Suddenly starts to twist the "weighted"
barrel (at the altitude 20m). It was not pleasant, one more. Bum! - is
fitted in the ground ( I on him never have shot even). You are asked, if
such advanced AI, what for serviceable machine in ground to stick?
Where reason?..

And more:

First: If to lean(base) on Flanker 2, Su-27, ours by all liked and adored
Flanker, is on a today most bad AIRPLANE! (and with him Su-33, and even
Su-30..) that we see now in Flanker 2, I can call only as delirium. Only do
not speak, is what is it made for realness. What realness, if Su loses a
near combat even A-10A! Well to the on - order..
Is given: Su-27 against A -10A, level for both good, altitude 200m on
head-on courses. For Su - interception, for A-10A - land attack (there is
no for him an interception.) Arms - gun..
The combat last 12 (!) minutes in real time. The planes have made on a
closed loop and have begun turns.. The first shells have got Flanker (truth
without visible damages), then, somewhere on 6 min. Flanker has beaten out
for A -10A one engine. And after began something strange.. They long flied,
and Su behaved not absolutely adequately to situation.. And was finished of
all subjects that A -10A has gone to a tail Su (it with one engine!) and is
accurate him has knocked down. At realization of similar combats with other
planes, Su almost always lost. For F-15C in general never has pulled out a
victory. More - less, Instant - Mig-29 with F-16, and that through times
still can beat. I have viewed set of near combats with miscellaneous types
of airplanes - and for me the sensation has appeared, that the developers
have made the American machines by stronger. I watched of speeds in turns of
both machines, and almost always for Su the speed was less, than for the
American fighters. It what?
Second: behaviour of weapon same strange. It is interesting to watch, as
X-35 beautifully "draws" closed loops and turns above the ships of the
opponent, representing itself the airplane (at altitudes from 500 up to
1000m, is X-35, which on 5ì flies..), and those try it to knock down.

That was heavy!

All I can say is... 'Huh?'

I think we need the Rosetta Stone for that one.

The AI is (IMO) the most complex of any sim to date. It is bound to have problems and this it does. I hope they address as many of these as possible in patches, but even as it stands, fighting with this AI is a whole new experience. In BVR, my biggest gripe (and really, the most serious gripe I have for the sim) is lack of Notch modeling. Think it was said that they will look into this in the patch.

As for the close in knife fights that he complains about...
First thing I gotta say is, "CHECK YOUR FUEL LOAD!" I noticed that the default fuel setting for the Sue is 100%. Hehehe, you DON'T wanna get into a tangle with a Falcon if your Sue if filled up with the juice. Other then that, I agree that the AI modeling close in has the "overpower" problem. Seems to be carried on from Flanker-1.5. Again, hope they fix it. In the mean time... deal with it! I've had LOADS of fun 'dancing' with the F-15, A-10, and F-16 (both excellent and avrg.). It is different and it is hard, but after a few hours of experimenting with the new flight model, I feel pretty comfy with it.

Lastly, not sure if all the AI use the same techniques. I've noticed that the A-10 goes WAY down low on me, often resulting in my own lawndart. The Eagle tends to stays a bit higher up. Could be the drugs i'm taking though ;-)

BUT: I found some problem which has to do with overpowered AI I think....watching his speed and alt when turning with him (F-14), I found he's accelerating when going up and SLOWING when he's going down...strange...and the G load looks similar at both direction...

Thats all folks..

Also I tried F1.5 again and in it Su is alot more manouvreable then in F2.0! I fought against F-15 and it was more fun in F1.5 then 2.0 even though F-15 is overpowered in 1.5.
On the PD's website he said that he AI is very bad and he can easly defeat it, I say that he is a total lier. Show me the prove!

On another note for those of us who have Voodoo Banshee. I have Diamond Monster Fusion the graphics on this card were terrible. So what I did was I deleted everything from PCI folder and copyed the Bazar folder in the PCI. After this the textures became very good I could see the reflections in the cockpit and they weren't pixelated. Also I have installed reference drivers from 3dfx and the terrain became very smooth instead of blocky.

Don't take me wrong guys I LOVE Flanker but it is very frustrating chasing after mud mover who can do the same stuff as a fighter.

I just continued to go up and down at full speed (more up than down, since for what I know, Falcons have problems in thin air) with FULL AFTERBURNER, then, after some time, the falcon always leave the fight and start to fly stright forward (going home ? bingo fuel ?).

Now the jerk takes his revenge...

Is it cheating ? I don't know.
