I cannot deny that yes they stall, some quite easily but I'm telling you adjust your elevators and you'll find it easier. Look some folks will only ever play arcade but here we are on the game creators website so I have to assume most folks on here are slightly more than your casual player. Again this is just me but what makes this game unique is that you actually have to pay attention to what you're doing, its hard on purpose! These planes used to fall out of the sky sometimes and the guys that flew them had to be very aware of this threshold and many many other things espeically managing your speed. You have got to keep your speed up, the quickest way to get killed is to fly too slowly and the quickest way to kill speed thankfully also happens to be the quickest way to stall and that is by yanking on the stick. If you manage your speed through proper stick control the co-benefit is you won't stall because you're yanking on the stick. If you don't like these things then enjoy arcade I totally get it BUT if you want to actually play what we are all excited about here, a flight combat SIMULATOR on a console then learn how to fly a plane. Flying sloooowly has absolutely nothing to do with it.
