"Spin training, upset, and unusual attitude training is essential to a fighter pilots core mission."

Actually Crumpp I think you might find that in EVERY current front line fighter deliberate spinning is prohibited !

Upset and unusual attitude training is in fact an essential requirement for every pilot, its mandated for Instrument ratings (in most countries). These terms were not used in WWII and are relatively recent terms.

As for spin training that should imo be mandatory as well ... sadly however it has been removed from the basic syllabus in a lot of countries.

As to this importance being placed on 150MPH before attempting recovery ... baloney !! that is a typical academic approach (as is this entire thread !) to the written word. Its in there to provide guidance to the lowest common denominator. As we all know after recovering from an unintentional spin, its simply a matter of getting your s... in one pile then smoothly recovering from the dive ... no magic just normal piloting to not depart the thing again. Its just like the 90degree nose down at low level scenario (you know the one you didn't want to be in in an aeroplane with stability issues) I suggested earlier .. you going to wait for 150 and risk hitting the ground or get on with your pilot stuff and "Fly the aeroplane" !

We should be able to crack the 1000post mark on this "never ending story" soon... just 100 posts to go.

By the way where is the in game test data in in Ver 1.08.18956 to support your bugtracker entry ?
