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: ![]() 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". ![]() Gaaah...this had better be something that is EXTENSIVELY looked at in Storm of War... ![]() |

Seeing as how I haven't posted much of anything lately (because of work) I'll fix that right now.
![]() A true classic image if I do say. ![]() A very pissed Italian pilot glares at the camera. ![]() RN Seafires prepare for another sortie over Iwo. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() A Komet climbs to intercept a flight of B-17s attempting to bomb Berlin in late '44 ![]() ![]()

![]() ![]() Huzzah, I succeeded in taking off with a MiG! ![]() My invincible MiG after Oberon attempted to smite it (wow IL2 loves Glitches), eventually the flaps got ripped out in a dive ![]()

Those were your ailerons, not your flaps.... and the rudder.
![]() Time to bail I would say. ![]() @Oberon That must be the most shot up plane, that's still flying, that I've ever seen in Il2. ![]()

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.
![]() 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. ![]()

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 ![]() Has your Baron got a well stocked drinks cabinet? If not then I think Sir Sean would probably not bother with it anyway ![]() |
