Nobody is interested to read that kind of stuff in the chatline. We all know what the issues with the FMs are.

I have seen a former spitfire pilot interview on youtube in which he says

" anyone could fly a spitfire, but you had to be an expert to fly a 109"

This is roughly how it is in COD.

Sound like you were just lucky and flew against some pilots who didn't know how to use the advantages of the 109.

Indeed the Spitfire had few vices, this is well documented from BoB pilots. Kurfurst refers to the elevator as if there is a problem, but he is referring to the report that Jeff Quill gave after one of the early test flights, so Supermarine made some adjustments and then it was fine.

Don't reply Kurfurst, I am not interested in your biased, one-sided view on the Spitfire vs 109.

Hi Gimpy117,
I saw this question to you earlier but don't recall seeing a reply.

"Are you flying with Complex Engine Management turned on?"

S!

I gather then that you haven't gone into the settings area to set your preferences up?

Boxes need to be checked etc.

Suggest you pop in there and see if you have your settings set to advanced.

Makes a very big difference.

Cheers,

refers to the elevator as if there is a problem,

Wow...

There is no problem unless you are a stability and control engineer, have some knowledge about airplanes, or dead because of the longitudinal instability.

Wow

There is no problem, unless you play different sim than everybody else.
