Hi Guys
I'm new to DCS but with a fairly solid understanding of flight dynamics, but I'm confused by the way the Spitfire (and probably the TF-51 which is the only other aircraft I have at present) react to power settings. Generally the rule would be "Power, Attitude, Trim" to get stable flight in level, climbing or descending flight, and I tried this with the Spit. After getting her at a 180mph climb to altitude, I reduce throttle thinking this will bring the nose gently down at which point I can re-trim when the speed stabilises. Instead, I get a wild nose-up attitude and without strong forward stick I'll stall out. Conversely, adding power often seems to result in a nose-down attitude and needing back stick and up trim. Seems all arse-about-face to me - is this a Spit thing or a broken flight model?
Cheers muchly
