Stability and Control characteristics of the Early Mark Spitfires

You're absolutely right here but I guess but no one in this thread is claiming Spitfire is the best plane in the world. I see lots of defensive activity in here against OPs claims but no praising of the Spitfire.

In game, it is also difficult to fly the Spit on the edge. There are capable pilots and there are not so good pilots and you can tell the difference when you meet them. Same in real life I guess except this is a game. Same goes for any aircraft in the sim so that's fair enough.

As for the issue, yes they have changed something in the FM in the last beta patch as I find the Spitfire is more difficult to stall now (1.07). I prefered the previous version to be honest.

Look at the airplane for that it is, and not for that it's been told of.

Hurricane is very much off topic here, but:

Leave a trickle of power through the flare or it will drop out from under you. The landing is almost - pardon the pun – a bit of a let-down. It’s easy. The Hurricane’s undercarriage is wide and soft, and the directional stability and response allow adequate tracking through the roll-out.
