Stability and Control characteristics of the Early Mark Spitfires

[IvanK]

"Otherwise, it is not much of simulation of a specific airplane if the gameshape does not have the same flying qualities as the airplane it supposed to represent."

Other than quoting reams of academic data this is the very thing you are yet to prove.

You have raised a Bugtracker tracker entry on a subject but have yet to provide any proof to support it that in fact it is a bug in game. You have by your own admission not flown the Sim that much or for example kept up to date with the numerous Beta patches. You opined that gun recoil should be modelled, If you flew the sim you would know that in fact it is.

When you started this thread its purpose was to discuss this issue as it pertained to early mark spitfires IRL, not for a bug tracker entry. It then morphed into this academic treatise that spawned your bug tracker entry. When are you going to actually do some some in game flight testing to actually substantiate your claim that the FM is porked in the Sim ?
