  1. Alexander, I got 1600+ hours (300 of those as backseater, 60 as instructor) in the Bronco, quite a few of those over indian country.

    Now I an a novice in FSX, I actually bought it because of the Bronco. I know the people who fly the one Aerosoft modeled and I am honored to say I shook the hand of the most of them. They are very good people, I think the best source of info on the Bronco. When I saw they were behind it I knew this would be okay.

    Bought FSX, bought the Bronco, bought an Saitek X52 and installed all with default (aerosoft adviced) settings. Now I got no idea what is the best standard for FSX but I found the aircraft pretty accurate. Most certainly not "hyper sensitive". If anything it is a bit tame for the low drag, low weight config we got now. Pitch is perfect, roll is perhaps a bit lazy, yaw is okay but it seems to act rather late and I will experiment a bit with the joystick settings for that. At low speed with wheels out it's not perfect, but I understand the limitations as explained by Aerosoft on that

    You mentioned some other aircraft you compare it to. Some are civil twins, some are WW2 single engine fighters. Now I will not challenge your knowledge, but they got nothing to do with a CAS aircraft. The civil ones need to be safe and the single engine fighters need to be fast and be able to handle high speed G. The Bronco is designed for a very wide speed range, very low altitude (in moist warm air), high drag/high torque, high AOA, almost exactly the opposite of all (!) the aircraft you mention. Keep ih mind the wing shape it has. That's nothing like anything you mention.

    So my experiences are almost the opposite of what you found. If you are ever in Texas I'll be glad to sit next to you and show you what I see and what I think is okay. For now I thing Aerosoft and the guys of the German Wing got it right. Very right.
