DieHard Posted April 25, 2015 Share Posted April 25, 2015 (edited) You think that Mk IX will make you an absolute winner? I have bad news for those who consider P-51 too stick sensitive and thus prone to stall... :) As Spitfire has neutral stability there is only 3/4" of stick travel to stall as it was reported by NACA. Really silk hands or full scale joystick required... :) It will be no mercy, hardcore only - all will be as Mitchell designed. In the other WWII sim I fly, one of those Spits has a nasty bad habit of snap-spinning if I get too slow. If I am low, landing, forget about recovering. The various sims I fly or used to fly I wonder how realistic the flight model is or was. But I get what I get and learn to fly the aircraft within the flight limitations presented. Start-up, taxiing, takeoff, flying about and landing is the easy part, eventually. Flying successfully in combat is the real challenge and being consistent at it. I usually am consistently bad concerning the air combat stuff. Edited April 25, 2015 by DieHard [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DieHard Posted April 25, 2015 Share Posted April 25, 2015 Yup, I will never fly a real Spitfire, I expect ED to get me as close as possible... and I expect every good AND bad about the flight experience :) I have my Albert Price book on my desk, flipping through it now and again just waiting for the first flight :) I don't have your book, but I agree with what you said.

To me in combat the hardest thing to learn is going to be feeling the stick at higher speed. The Spitfire's ailerons just like the 109's will get stiffer at 500kph and above, but the Spitfire's elevator will be still very powerful. This means if you want to roll, you have to use a lot of strenght, but to pull up you have to be delicate. :joystick: [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]In 21st century there is only war and ponies.

Gunrun_KS Posted April 26, 2015 Share Posted April 26, 2015 Probably one of the best videos relating to the love people have for the spitfire. This guy literally cries in the cockpit.

Babushka Posted April 27, 2015 Share Posted April 27, 2015 (edited) I'm waiting eagerly for the Spit to be rolled out! Now I know why so many new German pilots crashed while learning to fly the BF-109. I 'died' many times before managed to fly it off! But great flight modelling. The Spit is my next! Great machine!

bl_asd Posted June 18, 2015 Share Posted June 18, 2015 About recent news email regarding spitfire So...who's making the spitfire mod? I thought vevos is doing spitfire XIV but the news letter says spitfire IXc. Are we getting 2 versions of spitfire? I'd love it. On a separate note..is spitfire more like a zero? But better than a zero? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kontiuka Posted June 18, 2015 Share Posted June 18, 2015 ED is making the Mark IX. VEAO has a number of Spitfire versions in the plans. See their roadmap. http://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=127100 So, yes, ideally, there will be multiple versions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Charly_Owl Posted June 18, 2015 Share Posted June 18, 2015 I'd like to see a poll to see the community's opinion on the "clipped vs non-clipped" wings.

Are we getting 2 versions of spitfire? I'd love it. On a separate note..is spitfire more like a zero? But better than a zero? As far as I know ED was making a Spit IXc all the time, it was one of the 6 planes that are suppose to be DCS 1944. VEAO is making their own thing and yes they make the XIV. Spit and Zero are not realy even near each others performance. They have different roles (interceptor vs carrier plane). All Zeros have waaaaaaaaay longer range than the Spitfire. I think it was about 1:30h for Spit and 7h of flight for A6M. In each version, the spitfire is faster and climbs better than a Zero from the same year of introduction. Again, it depends on the version you will pit against each other. I can safely say though, that Zero is the better turner than the Spit(sustained). Only exception could be the A6M3 with clipped wings, but I have no hard data on that. There are too many differences between different versions of planes from WW2 to say for sure which is "better". I can say though, they are all unique. Edited June 18, 2015 by Solty [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]In 21st century there is only war and ponies.

Personally, I always preferred the non-clipped wings. Kinda expected this one to be non clipped ... a little surprised to see this spitfire being done this way. Not a huge spitfire fan either way but maybe they've had issues with the standard versions info or modeling it correctly for DCS. Its been almost 7 months since we've seen a new WWII module and even the Spitfire would help with this itch I'm developing. Was REALLY hoping for the P-47 very soon.

Very doubtful it is a modeling issue.. I am sure it has something to do with what information they have readily available.. (Or maybe they physically have a clipped version available to them right now..) The modeling of either version should be very similar and should not present any special issues for them..

ED Team NineLine Posted June 18, 2015 ED Team Share Posted June 18, 2015 As far as I understand the difference with clipped or un-clipped, they have data for both, it was a choice based on a number of things, not the least of which was performance factors I believe. I hope to see both, but I am warming to the idea of clipped wings, having the choice in ME would be amazing to me.

Random Posted June 18, 2015 Share Posted June 18, 2015 Well if they want better roll performance an f.21 22 or 24 would do the trick.... But that would be silly! Hopefully the mission editor option will work out. I know VEAO are investigating the possibility of it for their spit too! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
