Yes I know, but I haven' t any flightstick and with the joypad is really annoyng the continuous stalling of my aircraft... Any solution? I have decreased the elevator sensitivity, but nothing...

Decrease your elevator sensitivity until you no longer stall... Then slowly bump it back up until you find the setting that you fly the best. Go into training and play around with it until you find the "sweet spot". Remember though, the setting will be different for every airplane.

jeah thats true. if you fly the spit i think 5 noches down of the elevates are perfect.at least i have them at that sensitivity. and it doesnt matter if you fly with a joystick or the gamepad for your behaviour of the plane. the only disadvantage with the gamepad is, that is difficult to look around.

Ok I will try. Thank you all!

if you fly a spit then you want to set them 6 notches from the top in sim

In realistic I usually fly the Spitfire Mk II with these settings:

Ailerons: 3 notches down
Elevators: 4 notches down

Remember, the more you lower the sensitivity, the less the aircraft perform.

Its better to start a mental thumb regulator scheme saying:
"Gentle, gentle gentle......"
then to lower it to much.

eek the spitfire rolls bad enough to start with, why do you want to slow it down by lowering the aileron sensitivity?

Always have ailerons at max. Ailerons do not effect stall in any way.

Yes! I tried and whit the spit xvi I left airellons to the max and elevators 6 notches down. Now I can fly easely in realistic mode. I have some minor problems in simulator mode learning to manage flaps and trim...

i keep reading about trim and flap issues so i will put in my 2 cents.
trim on real aircraft is set mostly at straight and level flight at cruise speed or when you are going to maintain a consistant speed for a long duration ( a climb up to 15k or .. ft)...and that is not 100% or WEP. it was usually 60 - 85 % power. the more you throttle up the more torque the engine generates and depending on the aircraft will cause drift to either the right or left. when you power up to take off you need to give some rudder to keep you straight down the runway and you trim up as you climb to altitude but will adjust when you reach your level cruising speed and altitude. and this is the way i set up my trim during the game. in a dogfight sitution or when i kick it in the ass i dont even worry about it. i will be all over the place anyways.... WEP was not used very often .... let me rephrase that ... not used as consistantly as it is in games. on the P 51 there was a wire on the throttle. 100% was firewalled against the wire. if you got you ass in a bind, needed that little extra get me the hell out of Dodge speed, or to gain advantage in a DF you slammed hard and broke the wire...they had a term for that but i cant remember at the moment. but it was an injection system ( only familiar with 51s ) with a limited amount of water and ...nitromethane??? so it didnt last long and was only used sparingly.

as for flaps...combat flaps were common use. at the link below at the bottom is a bunch of reports of how 51 jocks used this and the results...when playing arcade i do the same by dropping gear momentarily ( with good success )

i am not trying to pee and in anyone's wheaties....and i have been playing this game a very short time comparitively... and a game is not reality...but some of this stuff does translate into gaming use if used. so read the reports and experiment a little...might give you an edge.
