Strange behavior

[Reflected]

The Spit is a masterpiece, but there are 2 things that I find quite weird:

 

1) the tail bounces on the ground as if it was made of rubber. And it bounces forever, once started.

 

2) as you decrease the throttle a little the Spit decelerates like nothing I've seen before. Like an F-15 with the airbrakes out, or more. This behavior is nothing like that of the Mustang or the 109. What is the reason?

I Agree on the speed issue looks strange how can your speed depends so much depending if you move the throttle by small margins

I don't know for sure if speed bleeding is like that IRL, anyway don't think on other sims (that you didn't mention, but I know you have in mind :smilewink:). Yes, real aeroplanes fly while having an engine pushing/pulling, but once cut off speed isn't kept for ever. DCS features the most realistic speed bleeding I know in a sim by far. Apparently also you didn't noticed that speed bleeding specially occurs at high AoA, if you keep controls steady it's not so extreme at all, and I think I can barely notice AoA in reflected in IAS indicator, so not all the apparent speed bleeding is real but a high AoA influencing pitot tube, and once you recover normal AoA anemometer returns to normal reads.

 

 

S!
