How to AoA and accelerate at the same time.

[SpaceplaneAddict]

So I've designed a fighter to work with FAR. It handles successfully, pulling upwards of 18G in a turn. However, The AoA is so great, it decelerates. This (would) be good, but not all of the time. As soon as it goes below 280 m/s, it begins fishtailing. Any ideas how to fix this?

Pull more gently? real planes can't do those turns and far is a realism mod...

That's an option, but it's flown by the BDA AI. IT's too dumb to do that.

Unless you have the engine power to accelerate at near 18G in a straight line, you're probably not going to be able to hold your speed during an 18G turn...

Sorry if it seems like I meant that. I just want to retain (stability) below 280 m/s. Below that, it begins fishtailing, regardless of Gee force

Sounds like an issue with the design. You'll need to look at the stability numbers in FAR to see exactly whats going on, or look at the dynamic graphs. Maybe more vertical stability or other changes are needed.
