Thanks for the tips, gents!

So I should practice prop management some more, but I was right in using 2400-2500 RPM and WEP. I should also practice my rad management- it was fully open the whole time.

I'll keep it in mind to climb either at 400 or at 250 - 300 was a poor choice


That being said. I fly all planes, Spit Hurri, 109 - sometimes even the 110 and something is not right.

Let's assume that the Spit FM is about right - then the Hurrican is way too good. To be honest I don't feel too much difference. especially not such a big one as described by personal accounts.

As for the 109 - somethig is wrong there too. When flying a Spit or a Hurri I'm on their tail in no time, they have no chance to escape, only to dive away. When flying a 109, it feels like a brick. Even if I'm gentle on teh stick (FFB) I shudder and lose altitude, while they accelerate in turns twice as tight as mine. Shouldn't the 109 and the Spit be a bit more closely matched? I know the Spit turned better but with sufficient E the 109 should be able to keep up for more than 90 degrees, shouldn't it? (BTW, what's the best turning speed of the 109? )

These are only my experience, obviously I didn't fly these planes 100% correctly, and I have no idea if the fella in the other crate was a noob or an ace.

Having said all this I realize they're working on the Spit FM now? If they make it better it will be OK compared to the Hurri, but will eat 109s for breakfast. Nerf it and it will be worse than the Hurri. Meh...let's just wait and see.
