GrislyAccord

Thanks. I'll try your custom curve settings when I get a chance. Although, the Spit is one of the few DCS planes I have applied any curve to. I think I have it set at 20 right now on my CH Fighterstick. It was way too sensitive without it, but then too much seemed to affect the responsiveness, which is the only thing going for this bird, in my estimation. As for the wheel brakes, I've tried the slider on the fighterstick, and a button. But right now I've cheated a little bit and set both of the toe brakes on my rudder pedals as the brake levers.

I seem to remember reading accounts of what a pleasure the Spitfire was to fly. But so far, I find it to be the most unpleasant plane I've ever flown in over 20 years of flightsimming. Taxi, takeoff and landing are a freaking nightmare in the thing, and it prevents me from flying it at all. Was it really this awful? I own the A2A Accu-sim version of the plane, and granted I haven't flown it in several years, but I don't remember it being this unpleasant. In fact, I rather enjoyed it. Is this ground handling accurate? It's flight characteristics are also kind of meh. The only thing that seems to be enjoyable in it is low level reconnaissance flying--it's turn radius and slow speed do allow you to circle a single farm or building or vehicle.
