I really can't believe reasonable people are wasting their valuable time trying to explain anything to you.

If you have an issue with something, bring it up like an adult, air your grievance like an adult, then move the hell on like an adult.

You can call me a fanboi all you want, but it pisses me off when I see people that I respect and who work their butts of (often for free) to provide us a passtime abused like this.

No one is saying that you shouldn't say your piece, just that you should try showing a modicum of respect. Is respect that out of style?

Alternatively you can go make your own bloody flight sim and fly it by yourself. This also goes for all the rest of your whining buddies.

To the ignore list with you!

I ll make an exception of answering to another senior member bs. Dear senior member, the amount of work and creativity that has flown into this game EVEN BEFORE DT CAME TO EXISTENCE is enormous. To my eyes, this could never justify the outright lying of Mr Maddox about the plane performances. Making the Spit the only plane with quite unpleasant flying qualities is simply another dishonesty OF THE SAME KIND, with all the due respect for the enormous work DT has done. So don't turn to me. I simply don't mince words, that s all.

i've already told you that what your arguing about is fixed in the bug fix patch.

so this is largely a waste of time, but hey ho.

Some interesting facts about known instability of spitfire mk V in 1942 due to field operations ignoring advice about careful placement of equipment in the field. It appears the instability was "cured" by some elevator modifications and some sort of mass balancer changes. But a significant number of spits were officially documented as "dangerously unstable"...

I love both the spit and 109 and flew the 109 almost exclusively for the first 3-4 years of my 10years with IL2. I have to say I was one to recently whinge about the latest FM changes but after a lot more research have come to the conclusion that TD's intent is admirable to replicate the documented "real life" not theoretical flight behaviour of the spit.

I do wonder though if they may have over done it, as it would appear these instability issues were well documented and addressed before the end of 1942.

I would like TD to consider some compromise on the stability changes in the new patch in favour of more stability as the problems did indeed exist if only for a year or so. Or is there some other way to allow us to compensate in the weapon/fuel loadout screen to gain more stability?

I do still think the elevator trim is overcooked a little too, as it definetly limits the ability to pull best possible radius turns if trimmed for level flight.

Thanks for listening!
