The Goat's Simulation Flight School

OMG. I knew it had to be something I didnt get ><

Looks like I wont be playing sim mode much then since the only plane I like flying is the Spit. No offence but thats exactly the sort of crap I cant stand in a game, I mean the constant re-adjustment for level flight.

*EDIT* Dont get me wrong though, that level of detail in a game is impressive.

You do realize, that no plane flies straight and level right? Unless the pilot keeps the controls that way, then it will, but by itself, the plane goes where it wants. I suggest flying the Yak-3, it have very little problems with keeping it straight and level.... at least for me

Or the La - 7. The La - 7 is my beautiful baby.

That's true also. I think the Yak-1 is the only one that gives me a bit of trouble, but longer wingspans do that at times?

Yak 3 would be my second plane of choice.

I'm not a fan of the Yak 9T though.

Heres a funny question; Do planes with nose mounted weapons have easier to handle recoil? Like the hurri/spit always kick left & right from wing mounted gunfire, do any plane NOT do this when firing?

La 7, Yak 3, Spit IX, and Spit XVI are all pretty stable firing planes.

La 5fn has some stability issues, as does the Hurri and Mk II. Along with I 153 and I 16.

Try trimming the rudder until you can fly level and see if that is better for you before you give up my friend.

It must have been a pain in the ass for those the guys who flew these things in WWII.

Its a bit of a bugger for me as Im usually the guy that dives right in at the deep end and goes "full sim" with a game after I pick up the basics. Even realistic is a pain in the backside for me atm due to not having a stick. And to make matters worse there are absolutely NO sticks on sale in my area, and the two major stockist in my area (GAME/GAMESTATION) dont have any for online purchase in the whole of the UK.

And I wont buy from fleabay, I only buy from reputable sites as listed above.

I think you can buy an AV8R directly from the manufacturer. I got mine from eBay with no issues. I've actually never had an issue with eBay. I always use power sellers though. I never bid on crap either. I only use buy now option.
