Spitfire Unplayable?

now try and get to 30,000ft.

bear in mind that a lot of the fighting took place between 20,000 and 30,000ft.

Ok, so the altimeter gets stuck at 11500 ft.

That was a challenge! No matter what I did, I couldn't get above this height, and whilst trying, was wallowing around the sky on the edge of stall.
The ground looked very far away though!

I took off from Manston, (Ramsgate, whatever) and gently circled around, but keeping wings as level as poss for lift.
This got me to 10000 quite easily, with no engine probs, but even with wings level, and the odd shallow dive to up the airspeed, could not get any height over 11500.

Bongo, you're a pilot, any tips?!

@ Utu, do you mean engine stutter, or game stutter? The engine was smooth enough.

I mean engine stuttering, it becomes worse at 10000ft and over. I can climb at 14000 or 15000ft also, but the engine stuttering makes me epileptic, then if I insist to keep the altitude the engine fails with a message "presa d'aria bruciata" (air intake burnt)....

Hmm... that may mean that the supercharger has failed.

I'll try again and let you know if I have any better success.

i think something is broken at the moment, highest i've got to is about 18,000

its like the auto mixture isn't working.

can't get any of the planes anywhere near there cielings, and ideed the heights they fought at
