I do feel that the burden is always on us to prove him wrong instead of the other way round, which is unfair. There is more than one way to skin a cat though.

The thing is, if I found a doc tomorrow that proved that Kurfurst was right I'd post it. I'm not so sure if it happened the other way around that that would happen.

I just want to know that when I'm flying towards a 109 in a Spit that I've got exactly what the guys in 1940 had. I want the 109 guys to have exactly what the LW pilots had too.

In a combat simulator realistic FM's are paramount, otherwise its bollocks. Forget AA, textures, sound, terrain, clouds, lighting, balistics, dials and switches. If it dosn't fly right then it's not doing what a simulator should be doing.

I don't want it clouded by opinion, I want fact.



Regardless of emotional attachment to either the 109 or Spitfire.

This is the core of the issue and reason for my posting, people have the right to expect that what they had in 1940 is what they have in the FS.

I firmly believe that the RAF had the 100 Octane and that the evidenc shows it. However in the various threads in the WW2 website where aircraft are discussed my choice for the BOB period is the Me109 not the Spitfire

That will never happen, not when the document proofs him wrong or let the Luftwaffe be seen in a not so glorious light like he does.

Kurfürst and facts against the Luftwaffe?
No way! This is a contradiction in terms!
