no, it's not about post counts, it's about experience as you said, and reading forum rules, or more simply common sense. As for comparing knowledge and experience on the subject you picked the wrong fella, trust me...

If you entered in a pub and said to the landlord "Hey, that's not the way to draft Guinness, I've never done it myself but I'm sure it isn't, cos I've seen it in a movie or something" what do you expect the reaction to be?

Irrelevant, he was talking about actual real footage about real spitfires in contrast with hollywood footage with spits (like pearl harbor let's say). You really don't have to be so rude to someone you don't know like that.

You know, we are on a forum, and believe it or not... There are REAL people, not pixels programs or computers posting... Show some respect like Blackdog_kt advised you. Hate will not get you anywhere.

Respect? If you had to read the same stuff day and day out for YEARS I would like to see how your respect would deal with it.. That's the way I am, if you can read between the lines and not get your ego in the middle, you can actually outsource some useful hints, if you just think I'm offending you then it's just your problem...

Respect for human race is SO overrated..

When will people stop joining forums and go on about alleged problems of things they don't have an understanding of and:

1) don't make an effort and see if the thing is being discussed already

2) motivate their assertion with factual data/evidence?

your posts are a waste of space, get over it.

And you being her AN HOLE MONTHS is justification for you to be an arsehole. If you were living in my house I'd put you in a dress and make you do my chores, because you sir, are a silly little bitch.

If you actually followed the forum you would probably see that I've been here way longer than that, but once again it's people like you that give strength to "it takes one to know one"

uh and well done for showing us what sort of illiterate (" here a whole month" not "her an hole months", I'm a foreigner and speak a better English than you!) misogynist macho man you are..

What an unbelievable rude response.

Question is valid as I feel the same ( feel, not know, as I never flew a spitfire). Hope the FM gets a bit maintenance in flying high and shaking as well.

Unfortunately not, certainly never will. No, it's based on the fact that on every Spi or 109 video you see on youtube, you could note they really seem light and flying like birds, I mean rolling left and right and taken up by the wind like a light bird.

Now I can't tell how close or far the sim is from that, but the feeling is'nt quite here yet, to me.

Of course at this stage, it all needs to be polished, there is no doubt every part of the game will have improvements. That one would be welcome (if of course it is indeed needed).

BTW you will just find out many videos of real spit in modern age filmed as they were restored and flown through shows, which are amazing ones.

I am lucky enough to fly with warbirds and vintage planes, and I can tell you that it's all down to how you act on your aeroplane controls. Another important thing to take into account is your joystick setup, have a bit of playing with it and see if you still get that "heavy" feeling.

Hi,

Thanks. I'm gonna start lessons later in that year and we'll see.

Thanks for your advice.

That's really interesting. Which warbirds have you flown? I guess if you're in the US you mostly fly P-40s and P-51s. I'm really envious.
