Spitfire Mk. I tutorial movie by me

[2GFlea]

Here a copy/paste out of a Spitfire MkII manual...

So it looks like the "official" Air Ministry way is opposite rudder. Sorry, I missed that Frey.

Ailerons can be quite significant to spin recovery, behaviour varies with aircraft but neutral aileron is the recommendation in all cases.

I actually now think that I applied opposite rudder in the movie. I have amended it to reflect that...

[Freycinet]

Says the same here:

Luckily I could correct it pretty easily in my video. Thanks for pointing out my brain-fart guys!

My bad, for initial recovery, afaik, everything neutral except the rudder which is used counterrotationwise.

Some crates need quite a lot additional input, like extending flaps, releasing tip tanks or extending the gear.

From the proverbial horse's mouth. Thanks!

Very nice Freycinet. Thank you. Will you do that for the 109 too?

Tvrdi, I'd love that but I would need help on the "right way" to fly it. not just "what works" but what is correct according to original manuals. Then I'll happily make the "simplified" CoD version into a movie. Could you help out? I know you are a big expert on the 109!

A list of proper start up settings, take-off speed, climb speed, spin recovery technique and landing settings would be great. Something similar to this one, which I made in connection with this Spit vid: http://flightsimvids.com/Il-2.Cliffs....Dalsgaard.txt

I'll thank you profusely in the video if you help me out! - And even forget your mobbing of the poor developers...

Or if somebody else want to help out... - I'd love to do the 109E, especially the manual pitch version.

well if SD is your initials i'll let you off should have spotted that

if you want to do a 109 version i've got the RAF version of 109e notes- the view of a 'non user' i find rather interesting , usually- but that might be another topic entirely

A very good Spitfire tutorial, especially for any newbies. I hope Ilya and the team are checking it out, this is the way to go for any new aircraft in the sim or sequel.

I am still waiting for my new rig to be finished (new video card holding things up?) This vid has helped me in my ' game withdrawal symptoms'.
