agree re the 109 landing, kinda funny when you think how many were actually lost in landing incidents, but it was always one of the easist planes to land in il2 as well, go figure.
how you been anyway?

Hi mate. Underwhelmed as well. I did another run today and the damn thing KITES like no other virtual 109. Chopped the throttle at 150km/h stable speed and it took almost 15seconds before it wingstalled, from neutral climb, no drop in height just stalled. Miraculously without warning lol. As I understand, the Emils where fairly high wing loaded so how they came up with this characteristic is beyond me.
I'm good. Busy, and lookin forward to our well known "40 days of hell" period, when people up here suddenly wants to get things done again and their barges back on the water for this season. Hope you're peachy as well and say hi to the dawgs.

Yup, thanks man. That's exactly what I was talking about. Slow and stall speed testing 1-5 all mention light to heavy aileron buffeting and ample warnings before the stall occurs in a clean config. Among other typical treats of this airframe, but the FM indeed looks severely dumbed down. Even more than IL-2 1946.
And where's the aileron reduced efficiency when the slots pop open for example. Not that IL-2 had it either but I'd expect it to be on this "top-of-the-line" combat sim, as was advertised. Patches I say! Patches!
*edit* In case of the possibilities of "sounding" negative towards the devs abilities, I just want to make it clear that it's NOT an attack on the devs per say. It's my personal objective observation after flying hours of discontinous and medium speed flight and notes taken by me based on my experiences with the virtual aircraft's handling and characteristics. Nothing more, nothing less.
