1/ The flight dynamics of the fighters need a big improvement and softened up considerably. I use a good quality CH 568 Combat stick which is one of the more popular choice of controller for enthusiast flight simming. I have tried adjusting the sensitivities and null zones but it does not make much difference. The dynamics are far to sensitive and jerky.

The Spitfire was a very sensitive plane. By the way, the virtual planes have been designed exactly as they were, from the official constructor plans. So if the game' physics are accurate, it shouldn't be so far from the historic reality.

2/ Difficult to keep the aircraft in level flight, you constantly have to keep trimming to stay level, this gets tiring very quickly, the elevator trim needs softening up, it is too sensitive, especialy on the fighters.

No plane from this era was so easy and so precise to flight, if you hope to be able to flight them stabilized without the hands and the feet, you can hope a long time anymore...

3/ In exterior view or what I call "spot" view the aircraft is almost un controllable and sometimes seems to do as it pleases all over the place !

Perfectly normal : would you easily drive your car from an exterior view ?... And it's in 2D, not in 3D. As you said, it's not really a game, cause it's a sim, and exterior views are here to show, not to flight.

4/ The colour of the towns and villages have a pink / orange palette which makes the buildings look a bit "cartoonish"

Depends on your screen and graphic settings too, and it's impossible to adjust the game to your stuff, and i believe the 'game' offers the possibility to adjust the colors (at least, it was planned). We debated it a long time ago in the forum.

5/ With the stick centered, the plane will roll to the right, perhaps this is a deliberate realism effect of propeller torque, if it is, it should be removed, it is a nuisance !

Here i really don't understand what you're saying : you know it's the torque effect, you know we talk about the most ambitious warbirds sim ever, but you would like it's removed cause it's a nuisance !.... OMG, so go flying on Combat Flight Simulator, it will good for you !

As an ex pilot and keen flight sim enthusiast for some 10 years I hope Oleg and the team take note of these comments that are intended as constructive feedback and include the fixes in the next update patch. I have waited years for this and spent $5k on a new PC build just for it. It runs fine with my specs and I would be pleased to assist in perfecting this magnificent on going project. Thank you Oleg and your team for making this fantastic Battle of Britain simulation (I refuse to call it a game !!).

All the best, Busterbvi.
Don't see here a naughty answer, but i don't understand your position.
Cordially.
