That sounds novel! I'll bet that isn't in the manual! :)

Now, if you can temper that ridiculous 'wings tipping over' at the end of a perfectly reasonably landing/rollout I'd, and I suspect many others, would be thrilled to bits. :thumbup: I can take off, it flies beautifully, loops, rolls, Immelmanns and stall recovery all good. Approach, both straight in and military overhead breaks=good. Flare and touchdown=good(loads of pedal action) She rolls out OK (still pedalling)then Boom! Over goes a wing! Another respray. :music_whistling: i feel like an abused wife that keeps going back for more :lol: Love this thing!

A definite improvement! Thanks.

Having taken off, shot down some 'Jerries', can you RTB, land and not have the ground crew do a complete rebuild ready for the next sorte?

To be clear, taking off is not the problem. If it's a bit scruffy sometimes I know it was me! Believe me, I've read all the tips 'n' tricks on this forum and applied them because I will always think of myself as being the problem. On the 'curves' front I'm now back to default settings and they don't seem to be all that different. I'm starting to wonder if they are just a placebo. So far I've bought the Spitfire and the P-51D. Being a bit of a 'completist' (gotta have the whole collection) I'm loathe to buy anything else until the Spitfire gets nailed. Describing the FW-190 as trickier than the Spitfire has done nothing to encourage me to spend more. :( For the record I'm using a Warthog and Crosswind pedals both calibrated till they bled! :joystick: Anyway, enough of my moaning. Cheers, Ron

Hi, This is my first post here but I've been haunting the place since I bought the Spitfire. I could have written the above quote myself except it feels like more than 15 hours! I've developed an ongoing love/hate relationship with the Spitfire in that countless times I've said "That's it! No more" only to come back an hour later for some more punishment. I'm at the stage now where I can take off a little less like Orville. (the cartoon albatross) Landing is different kettle of fish. :( Beautiful approach, good speed, nicely trimmed even(mostly) a smooth touch down. It normally goes tits up shortly after with an uncontrollable lurch to the right ending in ignominy. In the air the Spitfire is all I could wish for... To sum up, I can't believe that ED think the handling is realistic. The Mustang(the payware one) is no problem, yet it's reputation says it was a bear to take off in i.e. an overabundance of torque. Thank you for reading. At least I know I'm not alone. :thumbup:
