Strange that the Spitfire manual would be asking you to trim nose down on lowering the landing gear, which should cause a bit of nose down attitude anyways. Perhaps they are trimming in preparation for the flaps?

The manual must be correct...
well, the Spit's flaps aren't really flaps, but huge airbrakes hanging down vertically. I doubt it gives you more lift (which is always generated on the first 1/3rd of the wing profile) but a massive amount of drag.
Another problem/bug:
even though I have decent FPS (50-60), sometimes it slows down to 1-2 online when there are some planes dogfighting + AA + I zoom in. Weird...
