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

And now for my screencaps of tonight's flight
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 and I ended up in the water

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.

After months of searching, I've finally found my copy of IL2 again
Strafing run in a P-51 Just after takeoff on a misty morning And returning from showing der russkies how we do it in Frankfurt!

Iceland - Scotland (BIIS - EGPH)
Over Iceland
Over the Atlantic, leaving behind the clouds and turbulence Aproaching the Scottisch coast On final aproach 5 hours and 15 minutes later... .. somehow still in one piece.

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 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 |

It was when I took off... can't remember much after that.
