Until I downloaded Herby's latest, the Ilyushin Il76MD. Pretty nice right out of the Zip file and right off the bat. and it's FDM is OK, ( more on this further down..) plus you get either an autostart, or you can go into a not excessively complex manual cold and dark start. It also comes with a circus-load of submodels and cargo. Or you can drop a bunch of parachutists. Fun, big, Russian jet cargo plane with a illustrious history.
I like it.
Now for the FDM, It was in need of some Cruise AoA, approach speed, fuselage dynamics and a little mainwing and Hstab adjustments. I also added some turbine engine parameters to improve the cruise altitude speed and fuel consumption. Nothing big, maybe 28 lines of .XML additions.

I like the shapes and lines on this, and it's got a cheeky visage for such a big plane.
