I just don't get these recent threads.
Despite reinstalling, editing my hotas sliders to every possible combination, putting 'the missing 0' in my conf.ini, keeping above 400kmph and staying high, I still can't turn any of the Spits in a combat turn without the **** thing flipping over. On *my* PC the Spit is the worst aircraft in the game; virtually unflyable. It makes me very sad to hear how other people are able to get such good performance from it, because it probably means that it is something that won't get 'fixed' in the next patch.
That sucks! Take a moment and see how the Spit IX looks on my machine and you can see what people are talking about.

Beautiful through all maneuvers.
Then I guess it's the warning I'm not picking up fast enough. The stall also comes sooner than it used to, but I guess that's true for all aircrafts (it certainly is for Hurricane and Baufighter).Originally posted by AustinPowers_:
The spitfire gave ample warning of stall, but push it too far and it had a harsh stall compared to the BF-109.

vid 1
i got another vid too...
Most reports I have seen by spitfire pilots seem to to say it was a great and very manouverable AC and very easy to fly. Seem to remember that most US aquads in italy were really disappointed when they had to give up their nice nimble spits for p51s before they got used to them instead. Im only an fw190 pilots in this game and can say that I dont fear the spit much as long as I stay fast and use proper tactics. I never stay with them unless I have a wingman. Then it becomes fun to fight even the spit!
The other day though I made a headon a vs a spitfire before I realised that it was one. After we passed each other I continued straight in a shallow climb at maybe 400kph in order not to lose any E. I looked back to see the spit pull a very tight turn and come back on my 6 and then gaining on me... I was very surprised to see this. It was as he didnt lose any speed at all in the turn. Of course AC with lower wingloading dont lose as much speed as AC with higher wing loading but I had never seen it so clearly before. Dunno if it is correct though so I wont argue about it.... Im sure someone will come with numbers soon!![]()
well im a lefty, which makes that more of a issue faus
the sad thing is, its often worse than that, fraps seems to cut down fps, and i lose some wobble. does make it seem more sudden tho, the fps loss.
i can make 109s and 190s do similer, if im rough on the stick, if im gentle then its fine.
if it is fps realated, then thats why my spit vc, abit of rudder made it drunken at high alt, higher fps makes it worse
ill watch ur vid while i brush me hair![]()
The elevator of the spitfire was rated m oversensitive in official british tests, combined with very light forces to move them.Originally posted by Friendly_flyer:
Now, it has a nasty stall that I haven't seen mentioned historically, but which seem to be a feature of the global FM (Mustangs are suffering from the same malady).
So the behavier we have actuall is not that wrong as many people want to believe.
