It doesn't feel the most stable platform, as I guess it wouldn't at that time - it's a bit "wobbly" - especially in the lateral plane (not along the wings, but along the length of the fuselage - feels a bit like a rocking horse at times
).All in all, I'm quite pleased with it so far - the cockpit is just great. My first 'flight' ended in a burning heap at the end of the runway, due to not realising I had to keep the nosewheel steering button pressed whenever I was steering (as opposed to a toggle). Oh well. But it allowed me to watch the AI complete the sortie on their own, and take some screenies:
The lovely VC:
Note that the lowest framerate I've had with this aircraft was in the high 30's, with high 50's being normal. It's now a dedicated 64-bit program.
These are the bad guys:
...and back to base:
On my next flight, everything went very smoothly, despite not having read the short manual at that time:
When I came in to land, I thought I was pushing it at 160KIAS - but the aircraft bounced quite hard and I found myself gliding back onto the runway at a mere 90KIAS, quite smoothly. I did seem to be applying the brakes a little on the 'enthusiastic' side, though
- as the skid marks show:
According to the manual, the flaps should be raised, to aid reducing speed - but mine refused to move after touchdown
Maybe that jolt on the bounce b*ggered them? 
Also according to the manual, touchdown speed should be at 115KIAS. OOPs! That explains a bit...
Here's the 'official' take-off and landing instructional video (for now):

I've not dropped any iron as yet - though I couldn't resist a quick blast with those 6 .50 Brownings!
I would really recommend this module for DCS World, whether you are a combat simmer or not.
Now I need to learn how to do repaints in DCSW and get some RAF paints done!
