This FM actually does look realistic unlike the "Su-57" that just flails its surfaces and nozzles from an extreme to an extreme while not showing ANY relaxed longitudinal stability at all. Just try it for yourself.

most other mods use the standard flight model. (like the base game Su-25) this mod uses an external flight model that the mod authors have worked since DCS made it easier to actually make a custom flight model. because of that this thing actually has thrust vectoring, the Su-57 has to fake having thrust vectoring because standard flight models do not support this. the way the Su-57 mod does this is by making the elevators generate more lift when ever you turn the FCS off. in other words the Su-30 mod and the Felon mod are not even comparable now that the Su-30 has a proper flight model that isn't just a modified Su-25 or Mig-29.

@@LodewijkVrije As far as I remember, the Su-25 is AFM not SFM. As for the Felon mod, it does have EFM, but not all EFMs are created equal. There was even an EFM implementation basically reiterating the SFM...

Growling sidewinder did 5 rounds with an F-22 vs Su-30 Flanker H with TVC Raptor wins 2 times Flanker wins 1 time 2 draws

If you're good at flying, then you'll pretty much dominate in the Su-30. That's if you don't crash into the ground.
