You seen Skybird lately?

Ok...so, the Spitfire was supposed to be more forgiving than the 109...right?

So, why is it when I stall in a 109 it's a much easier to deal with experience than in a Spitfire.
Take the following example:

http://img269.imageshack.us/img269/1...2010232635.jpg

I am on the verge of stalling (slats open, wing vortices on) but she continues to climb quite comfortably and only when I started knocking on 8000m did she start to dip a wing.
If I had tried this in a Spitfire I would have stalled and wound up in a flat spin before you could say "any idiot could fly a Spitfire". :nope:

Gaaah...this had better be something that is EXTENSIVELY looked at in Storm of War... :stare:

Seeing as how I haven't posted much of anything lately (because of work) I'll fix that right now.

And now for my screencaps of tonight's flight :hmmm:

Huzzah, I succeeded in taking off with a MiG!

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v4...ssingflaps.png
My invincible MiG after Oberon attempted to smite it (wow IL2 loves Glitches), eventually the flaps got ripped out in a dive :haha: and I ended up in the water

Those were your ailerons, not your flaps.... and the rudder.:know:
Time to bail I would say.:D

@Oberon
That must be the most shot up plane, that's still flying, that I've ever seen in Il2. :o

That too XD
Yeah I bailed but I think I got killed anyway...:haha:

After months of searching, I've finally found my copy of IL2 again :D :woot:

.. somehow still in one piece. :hmmm:

FSX I presume?

Scottisch coast?

Was this guy the pilot?

Good flying though, I look forward to doing a spot of freeflight once I get my new joystick. Not quite sure I'd manage five and a quarter hours though

FSX it is. Sean was the welcoming party at Edinburgh. That's as close as he's going to get to ma Baron. :yep:


It kept me occupied while I still have the energy to think. I'd rather focus on flying a plane than anything else at the moment. ;)

Did some 8-9 hour flights with 747 in the past; that is really too much. :doh:

Yeah, thinking too much is not something you want to do in the circumstances, so whatever you can do to take your mind off things the better.

I drove a little J-15 from Marks Tey to Sudbury earlier and then came unstuck when I found there was no way to reverse around the train at Sudbury :damn: But it was relaxing and my mind was focusing on the road ahead and not the gap behind.

Has your Baron got a well stocked drinks cabinet? If not then I think Sir Sean would probably not bother with it anyway :haha:

On approach to land at Isle of Man.
