Hmmmmmm.

Are you for real?

This guy builds missions, and just because he is apparently good at it, doesn't mean he is any kind of expert in flight-models, far from it, most of the time he'll be in the FMB or scripting.
Even so, its easy to dictate when your shooting up AI on predefined settings which you created, however fighting in RAF planes online in a full realism server is a whole different ball game and it takes skill to do it.

He needs to get back to mission building and stop the childish one-sided propaganda, which is getting quite tiring, its obvious the FM's are badly screwed up.
And if he's so sure they are not, I invite him online to take any RAF plane & I'll take the G.50.

Does anybody fly the A2A Spit on FSX ?, it would be interesting to compare.

I do, frequently. The cockpits are similar, but they fly like two different aircraft, especially with the current 1.08 beta.

The A2A Spitfire MK 2a and the CoD Spitfire MK 2a ver 1.05 (current Steam retail version) are the closest in terms of performance.

B6 closed down an earlier thread re A2A Spitfire, and may well do the same for this one -- this is the Official 1C Forum after all.

Call be an a$$, but ....it reminds be a kind of the spirits that u v cited....
Somehow it is more than funny, as in those threads are always the same suspects crying out loud.

Before summer the red FMs werent that bad, nevertheless in good old IL2- manner our sissywhiners started their buisness again crying for this ,moaing for that, and actually the complete FMs were bad at all.

Now the devs "fixxed" something, as you wanted them to change sth,
but again everything is porked and useless. Admitted the red FM is really kind of useless atm, although if u fly the Sissy like a 109 CEM it doesnt get heated.

However, maybe some will learn from this development in the future.

Seriously, if the effects on global servers wouldnt be that bad due the red FM, this would be so funny.

if you fly the spit like a 109? is that what you meant? it doesnt over heat?

you are either trolling, or i misunderstood your post. please clarify

as things are, i fly the 109 full throttle until im ready to land. it doesnt come close to overheating.

and when did the spit become known as the Sissy? that seems rather childish way to try to annoy red pilots, so i would assume this is just another troll post.

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.

Agree entirely, and it seems this whole radiator drag trick is just a complete troll.
