************* ......elevator trim adjusting is necessary in BF109 (usually needs to be lowered a bit ) while in spit no need for that. Is that how is supposed to be? I would like to hear other opinions and experiences....

Actually, for me personally, the trimming acti is jsut natural and one of the first things I do after taking off in the 109. It just takes 2 seconds each time. I trim the SPitfire normally after some minutes inflight after I gained some altitude.

Concerning the auto rpm in the 109 E-4, I prefer to use the manual prop pitch, since the auto mode is sometimes doing strange things.

Unfortunately, this is not a solution. The PP will be slower after a while in manual mode too.

Auto PP in earlySpits?

I assume this is with CEM disabled and not enabled, never tried it as early Spits were manual PP.
