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.
