Stability and Control characteristics of the Early Mark Spitfires

[IvanK]

And supposedly the clod spitfire doesn't in YOUR opinion meet some standards in your mind that you refer to without quantification.

All this stuff about things being measurable and to defined standards then when asked how you find them in the Sim all we get is:

"Fly the airplane in the buffet and time your turn.

Pull back on the stick, release, and note the behavior of the airplane.

Fly at Vmax, pull hard back, hold it at full deflection, and note the behavior.

Fly the airplane trimmed for slow flight, let go of the stick, fire the guns, and note the behavior.

I have played the game and note the behaviors as I play. Just because I don't spend my time making excel spreadsheets does not mean the points are invalid."

When others actually go out there test and document and show their results you jump on them questioning every detail of their efforts. ... what were the conditions etc etc.

Please give us a break and at least practice what you preach !
