The Rollus Rafale is a highly detailed, native FSX model of the Dassault Rafale C (single-seat) and B (two-seat) variants. Unlike basic AI traffic models or simple repaints, this is a full-fledged, flyable fighter jet designed to push FSX’s engine to its limits. It captures the distinct delta-wing and close-coupled canard configuration of the real French naval multirole fighter.
Set flaps to "Half" (not full, as full flaps on a delta causes nose-down pitch). Hold the brake, throttle to 100%. At 130 knots, gently pull. The Rollus flight model will rotate smoothly. Raise gear at positive rate.
Exterior: Good (for its age)
Virtual Cockpit (VC): The Weakest Point

The Rafale M requires a specific AOA of 14-16 units. Use the HUD's velocity vector. Throttle response is key. The delta wing loses energy fast; you must fly a "draggy" approach. Aim for the third wire. The tailhook in this model is active—press Shift+Q (default FSX) to lower it.
Unlike a Cessna, the Rafale requires a specific workflow. The Rollus Rafale is a highly detailed, native
The Dassault Rafale is known for being incredibly agile and unstable (in a good way), relying on computers to keep it flying straight. Replicating this in FSX is notoriously difficult due to the simulator's limitations with fly-by-wire systems.
