Thomas Nilsson did it again! His Saab J35J is one of the best (or just the best) military freeware aircraft available. Now with new improvements:

New engine, new flight dynamics, loadout selection panel, exhaust gas temperature regulator (MTR),
exhaust nozzle control (RAT), new navigation system, new radios, etc, etc. Released on AVSIM, FSCom,
Simviation and other major flightsim websites.

Hi All,
I've been having some fun with this in the past few days. I've stuck a sequence of screenshots on the forum at http://flightsim.bookmark.se/Forums/viewtopic/t=29.html
Trev - wicked, evil stall characteristics for sure. The real killer is chopping the throttle before the roundout - she engages brick mode quicker than anything else I've seen, but too late with the throttle and she floats for ages. Once you've got it though, the satisfaction you get from squeezing her into a 3000ft runway is immense :dance:
Cheers,
--Graeme

This is interesting to fly, and it handles much like I would expect from something of this era, especially on approach. Then again, Graeme is right, there is a lot of satisfaction from getting this one down in one piece, and once you have a technique that works, it's not that hard..just don't rip the chute :roll:
One interesting feature is the preset comms channels, no keyboard retuning on this one. At first I thought it was pretty lame......but that was just me being lazy :redface: Now I find it is more realistic. Comms channel changing at low level is best avoided :tuttut: Get everything worked out beforehand, plot your route and likely frequencies, mark it on a chart if possible, and plan ahead.
This one is worth the effort.

More than perfect
Thanks John for heads up.
On his way to absolute perfectionism Thomas Nillson has achieved 110 percent "as real as it gets".
