What really puzzles me is that they have this 'Partnership Series' videos published on YT. There is whole bunch of test pilots, aeronautical engineers, and software developers telling us stories of their cooperation.

And of course how realistic are results of this cooperation.

Yet in just couple of weeks some random amateurs are able to correct stupid mistakes and omissions made by international teams of aviation experts and professional software developers.

I WOULD LOVE to be able to ask this question to somebody from Asobo - how come?!?!?!?

Also let's not forget, the default performance data already matches POH.

But of course I know that even if I would be able to ask the question and somebody would answer, the answer would be of this kind of smooth, nice PRish BS. Like in the Reddit AMA with Lockheed Martin's P3D team some time ago:

That's absolutely right, and in my opinion the answer is very simple: they lied. I now have doubts about the flight modeling. Even if it feels much better than FSX, they said flight dynamics is based on the way the air flow hits the aircraft model that is based on 1000 surfaces on which air flow is simulated. When I fly at the limit of the flight envelope (stall, spin) I really wonder if this is true. 

Also regarding the SDK, I still wonder if they will ever release a serious one...
