Has anyone tried this  plane?

And does anyone know if there is a manual with it.

I bought it and it is sort of fun but seems to lack a manual.

If anyone is interested, I will do a quick review here after figuring out how to bind controls etc.

OK I figured out how to get reversers to work and that also operates the canards into stop mode. "Hold Thrust Reverse" does that.

Still can't find manual for everything, but I can manipulate most everything with AirManager now.

I was using a AOA indicator, and it really does not work. Just slow down to 165 or so and the flaps automatically deploy and the canards seem to be automatic as well. Use the air brakes a bit to slow if needed.

I have no idea if this is how a Gripen flies but it is extremely Fly By Wire feeling, incluring auto trim.

On my Hotas there is a huge dead spot in center even with linear setup on curves. This does make it very stable feeling.

It is fun to fly, and very easy once you figure it out and set up controls correctly, like a button to hold down for  reversers on the Hotas throttle.

It will not be one of my favorites, but I will fly it from time to time. You can land it and come to a complete stop in 2000'. I will try some highway landings in Sweden. Gripen was made for short unimproved fields, like rural roads with longish straights.

I give it 3-4 stars, the F16 is better IMHO. Fun but does not feel real to me. It looks fantastic and is good on frame rate even with my old system and 4 screens. 

So if you want something different that does Mach speeds easily and is extremely maneuverable with 3 colors of smoke to boot, this may be for you.

Sim on...
