There are 2 things that make using a symmetrical airfoil for fighters iffy.
Vortex lift is not simulated in SP, symmetrical airfoils basically stall at 20° and you start departing if there aren't any semi-symmetrical or flat bottoms on the build,
Flaps and Slats are considered completely separate wings in SP so you dont get the irl benefits of changing the wing camber and directing airflow same with implementing canards.
The benefits however are as you mentioned it's just that simpleplanes is "simple" on physics, hence why most notable fighter builds use flat bottom or the mysterious NACAPROP.
I'll be taking sometime off to learn and experiment more PID (wanna make a better FBW), so don't expect any new post for a while (3 weeks if not a month),
Next project will probably be between the F-15 and a MiG-29 or both XD, cheers
@Pakdaaircraftindustries your centre of thrust is too far above the CoG, it doesn't matter how far back what matters with CoT is how far above or bellow it is.
Think I need to rework this one, both this and the deleted jas39 will be reworked the FM feels weird at the moment so I'll rework them and make a better FT for control surfaces. While I'm at it I'll be putting up a Eurofighter ive been working on to complete the eurocanards club.
Having trouble replicating the issue if you don't mind, at what speeds does it start and is it during maneuvers or does it just occur when flying straight.
I know there's an issue with where the plane starts pitching up the faster you go, if you are referring to this, im gonna try and fix it.
I'll be working on an Su-27sm with PSM as well, will take a while since the plane I found has no cockpit, and ofcourse since it has no Thrust vectoring doing the FT for it will be a pain but it's going along just fine for now.

Kismit cooking, and I'm at the table ready to eat.
+2@LunarEclipseSP I was still writing up a description as well 😆
+1It's here Kismit has done it again, and damn is it outstanding.

Dang really hope this didnt come of as arrogant
@SuperFlanker thanks, I'll be making a v1.1 for this soon.
This is shaping up to be the best of its kind, can't wait

What do you mean by "make your own" like do I need to make Kp,Ki,Kd variables that depend on the flight condition?
I can see a lot of people have taken interest in the lower part version please visit the main version for the description on controls .
@PrussianAirWorks Thank you, need to learn paneling and more FT.
Move the engine down closer to the CoG and that should do the trick,
@Pakdaaircraftindustries your centre of thrust is too far above the CoG, it doesn't matter how far back what matters with CoT is how far above or bellow it is.
@SumateraIndustries what bias your missiles just didn't proxy or somthn😂
This hit off way more than I expected thanks for the upvotes.

Looking forward to the F/A-18 Kismit 🙌.
