Yes I did. 

And since All default aircraft and the overwhelming majority of 3rd party aircraft use modern it is best to forget that one can switch. 

Because these won't work as intended with legacy.

  • I’m not sure if FSLABS is using legacy mode for it’s flight model. The legacy mode flight model check box should really be removed from the UI, it causes much confusion and seems to have been inc

  • I understood legacy was the old FSX flight model, a lot less parameters, that would allow old aircraft from the FSX days to use the sim. FS Labs is the first aircraft I have heard uses the legacy mode

  • Like.. all of them.  Even if you set it to legacy there’s a multitude of addons that force it to modern.

OK. I think we were talking at cross purposes. It is true that if you create a mod or aircraft using the modern f/m then of course the user should keep to modern too. What I was saying was that there is nothing wrong with creating a flight model with "legacy" as long as the author makes it clear to the user that Legacy should be switched on. The two indeed will not mix. However just because the vast majority of aircraft use the modern f/m doesn't mean there is anything inferior with the Legacy f/m and as I pointed out (through a lot of experience) both systems have their respective advantages and disadvantages.
