This Bf109 trim issue could be settled more or less if this guy mentioned could share his insight with the plane and flying WW2 planes in general. Ideal would be if the community would have people who are heavily involved with WW2 planes, either flying and restoring/repairing them or both. A true treasure trove of which all would benefit in a positive way. |
Agreed, I just wanted to say those things so that arguments would be forestalled.
I should say one thing on the trim issue though - even though I said balance has little application, changing an issue (short trim times) that is inaccurate on all planes (from what has been said) on only one plane (BF109) works against balance and does not work to promote overall realism, even if one issue (bf109 trim) is sorted.
I think you have to be careful to maintain macro realism, even at the expense of micro realism. Sometimes, when you are dealing with something that will affect balance, you have to be careful to implement changes in a balanced way.
What this means is that if the trim is wrong on all planes, it should not be just the 109's that is singled out for attention. I have so far seen this swept under the rug in this thread, as if the 109's trim was somehow a bigger problem than that of other planes. But I'm not convinced that is true. Especially considering that pilots have reported that the 109's trim wheel was quicker and easier to use than that of many other competing designs, it should not be the case ingame that it becomes the hardest plane to trim.
