a possible solution for overheating & low speed spitfire/hurricane in last Beta patch

Interesting. The head developer at Desastersoft knows less about RAF flight models and aircraft and how to fly them, than you guys.

Hmmmmmm.

Surprising but true. The red FMs are just stuffed.

sorry but I'm also calling total bs on this one too, the problems couldnt be more obvious

[yobnaf]

there are no FM problems. You are wrong

Are you for real?

This guy builds missions, and just because he is apparently good at it, doesn't mean he is any kind of expert in flight-models, far from it, most of the time he'll be in the FMB or scripting.
Even so, its easy to dictate when your shooting up AI on predefined settings which you created, however fighting in RAF planes online in a full realism server is a whole different ball game and it takes skill to do it.

He needs to get back to mission building and stop the childish one-sided propaganda, which is getting quite tiring, its obvious the FM's are badly screwed up.
And if he's so sure they are not, I invite him online to take any RAF plane & I'll take the G.50.

Does anybody fly the A2A Spit on FSX ?, it would be interesting to compare.

I do, frequently. The cockpits are similar, but they fly like two different aircraft, especially with the current 1.08 beta.

The A2A Spitfire MK 2a and the CoD Spitfire MK 2a ver 1.05 (current Steam retail version) are the closest in terms of performance.

B6 closed down an earlier thread re A2A Spitfire, and may well do the same for this one -- this is the Official 1C Forum after all.

I have it. As ATAG_Snapper says they are like two different aircraft. The other one handles beautifully whilst ours seems a bit 'nervous' and more to the point underperforming badly and almost impossible to trim away from its fairly neutral power/rpm settings (around 2200-2400rpm/2-3psi). A2A negative G cutout is way undermodelled (not an issue in a non-combat scenario) and you do have to manage its engine carefully. It overheats more easily than ours if you don't manage it properly but the engine is more forgiving and can be cooled over a period of time (but again you're not fighting in it). It is generally a highly regarded simulation of the Spitfire.

This is not a "criticism of CoD by reference to the A2A Spit", just an answer to your question. The devs are looking at our FMs anyway but if BlackSix wants to delete these "A2A" posts its ok by me.

Agree entirely, and it seems this whole radiator drag trick is just a complete troll.
