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.

Sternjaeger, others have been here far longer and heard the 'impressionist' approach to issues with the game far more times than you, myself included, but there is still no need to be an utter ****** 100% of the time. It's no wonder you're on your second account already (although I confess I don't know what happened to cause it, likely something to do with the atrocities thread).
Just stick to stating the facts as you know them, it's much less hassle for you and for everybody else.

I don't really care, it still doesn't excuse your unfailingly antagonistic attitude... Just calm down a bit, 's only a forum.

I'm perfectly calm, it's a fact, just like the fact that you are an agitator..
If you want to dispensate hints on forum behaviour, you might as well give the good example and use tact, but hey, I suppose this doesn't match with your provocative attitude.. at least I don't make a mystery of mine..
