    Do I suck at this sim.

    I'm no stranger to flight sims or dog fighting but I'm ready to put my foot through my nice LCD monitor (cost to much to replace though).

    Insert your favorite cuss word here *....* Just venting I guess....

    BTW, does the P-51 really fly that bad? If you pull it just past that point, in a corner, it freaks out like someone cut all the control cables. It's hard to believe that we (the Americans) built a plane so bad (and I really like the looks of it too).

    This sim gets me angry enough to get really good at it and then take it off my hard drive in revenge.

    LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL

    I told Xiolablu that I thought there had been a previous thread entitled, "The P51, Why is it so dang hard to fly ?!!!" or some such and ... well... see what I mean ?

    Sorry but my gut is hurting from too much laughter at the moment.

    just because it freaks out past a point does not mean it's bad.... all powerful high performing machines push limits... take a F1 racecar for example past "that point" and you'll see what happens...

    one has to learn how to handle it.. tame the beast... so back to it mate

    Sorry Segwin, had to make sure I didnt blow a gasket there. To help you out and get you flying better, try these two links:

    The Nuggets Guide:

    http://forums.ubi.com/eve/foru...3110283/m/9121094645

    and when you decide to head online to face real humans, The Newbie's Guide to IL2 Online Dogfighting:

    http://www.mediafire.com/?shar...dc50e04e75f6e8ebb871

    This will help get you started on the steep learning curve.

    P51 is a high energy fighter, built for high altitude. Be gentle with her and you will learn to tame her.

    If you are flying it to that point in the corner, you are not flying the P-51 correctly. It is not best flown tightly chasing other planes around in circles.. What other people have said about the Nuggets guide and Boom and Zoom tecniques, it is a great fighter plane in this game one of the best but it is an energy plane not a turn on the dime kind of one.

    Certainly, it is not a beginners plane, I would reccomend something like the Hurricane, P-40, Zero, La-5, Yak or the BF-109 F4. If you wish to get into furballs and also, not have the plane "flip out" on you.
