Spit IIa is now so much more inferior to the 109

Im glad you mentioned the landing SEE i thought my speed was to high coming in but as you say its like ice.

I bleed of airspeed using a turning approach with (Prop Pitch set to kill RPM if necessary) and touch down at around 85/90Mph, once that speedo is registering zilch I apply full rudder and tap the brakes to stop nose over - job done but it does feel like a friction problem combined with a throttle bug. If you pancake with wheels up it slides far too long!

Keep the personal comments/insults out of the thread or it gets locked.

Please lock it.

Just another thread whining about how the spit2a is no longer overmodeled, and about how it's necessary for red to actually adopt historical tactics rather than furballing on the deck. This thread is not constructive in any way.

If the thread starter was interested in fixing performance issues in the sim, then he would have posted flight test data from historical sources and from in game so we could compare and contrast.

wow finally the promised so close performance is up to the pilot

cant wait for the dx9 patch

Game Performance is so much better at altitude as well.....

I know what you mean, it's what usually happened to me flying 190As against Ponies and T-bolts in the previous series

Of course i'm not pointing fingers at anyone specifically here. It's just that we are all part pretend-pilots and part game players, so as a result what we do differs considerably from what a real pilot would do in real conditions. Cheers
