Shockwave Productions prides itself on super-accurate flight modeling and performance for their aircraft; using their Absolute Realism ™ technique. Using this technique Shockwave assures us that the flight models are built to accurately replicate the real aircraft to the point where you could actually use the official aircraft flight manual to derive performance data. Throughout the flight envelope it appears, through my admittedly non-scientific direct observations that Shockwave has delivered on their promises. Each aircraft flies in a unique way with different performance and traits. Flying circuits in these aircraft is to come as close as some of us will ever get to being in the actual aircraft.
