Compressibility is cool!
« on: July 02, 2000, 06:15:00 PM »
I like it.  I've had some luck a few times pulling UP with a fast bandit diving on my 6, because he's above his critical Mach and can't pull up.  

Also it satisfies my anal-retentive nerdy side (ok maybe it's more than just a side...) to operate the dive flaps on the Lightning and the Jug.  And even better, you can see the little buggers pop out!

Not so cool in 190. Just no warning at all, full compression at 450 mph. A little trim and wings out...

Im not to pumped about it either.  No warning at all entering and once Im in a compression situation, its as smooth as silk.  I cant help but imagine this need more developement.

I was going to bring this issue up. I have a problem with the abruptness of the transition from normal flight to mach tuck condition, and back.  Seems there should be a slightly smoother transition between the two flight regimes.
