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.

Hi Segwin!
First let us know what joystick you have! You really need to dampen the settings in the input section of the game! This dampeing is very very differnt depending on the stick you have!
Also check my tutorials out

Its a mix of AVI videos and tracks (that need to be put in the records folder of the game")
She is a GREAT plane with dampened stick settings!!!
I have a X52 Pro. It's actually a pretty good stick and very programmable.Originally posted by GH_Klingstroem:

Thanks to all that have posted and offered help/opinions. The one thing that attracts me to the sim is how hands on the flying is. I've aways had a soft spot for the P51 too, it's got sexy lines, love the way it looks. I'm just taken aback by the modeled flight.
I'll take the advice and dampen the stick to see what happens. I am learning to be aware of the signs of losing control - my wife tells me to quit shouting at the computerWith regards to the P-51, I can feel is start to shudder in the corner and if you pull any harder - poof, she'll slip away.
I have every intention of joining a squad but only when I have mastered most of the basics. I don't want to be a boat anchor.
Today is a new day however and after a good nights sleep I'm ready for more humiliation. I thought I saw my wingman shaking his head once.

100% correct
The pony with full tanks was very dangerous. Many famous US pilots mention this. Centre of gravity was way off and it would spin like Jesse Owens with one foot nailed to the floor.
LoL, another propaganda victim. I dare say that the P-47 was the more important USAAF fighter in the ETO.Originally posted by HayateAce:
Finally, it's only a game, so don't try to believe that the IL2 P51 is anything like the real bird.
The P51 dominated the the 109/190 in the skies over Europe, and the historical records bears that out time and again. The Mustang will never be equaled in terms of achievement and impact on the outcome of a war.

I made no comparison between the two, citing neither above the other. Yes, the P47 was largely responsible for blackening both Luftwaffe eyes. The P51 delivered the knockout blow.I dare say that the P-47 was the more important USAAF fighter in the ETO.
