How do you fly a Fw-190?

It looks as if the book is out of print. I work in publishing so I'll check to see if anyone still holds a copyright. If it is not under copyright I will scan my copy & make it available to you guys.

If your looking for a GREAT plane, Yak-3 I highly recommend.

Oddly enough the Yak is my favorite ride when im flying allied. Good roll rate, small target, and the guns are lethal (not a whole lot of ammo in the cannon though).
What about those early migs though? their pretty but come on. You would think that modern russian aircraft would be Y-29 and so forth. Maybe I just don't know how to fly em.

The MiG-3 etc were slow and lagged seriously bad. They may have looked fast, but their engines just weren't up to it after bad constructing and other things.

I am a self-admitted Germophile. Better dead than red! Actually, I have been flying around in a La-7 and enjoying its characteristics while testing out some various planes. The turning fight is sooo boring to me and I want to learn how to do some rolls and diving attacks. I tried again last night with the 190 and I can't even do a simple loop before the plane stalls out and starts spinning. Has someone who is familiar with the 190 tried out the flight model in BoP?

Cheers for that! the 190 was a ripper of a plane and the rotary engine made it a bit different to other land based fighters (Anyone know why Roatary was preffered by Navies and in line and V engines for Air Forces???)
