FNG with an opinion.

A very enjoyable read - welcome to the forums! I've never flown a plane in real life (but I will achieve that goal and get at least one of those ultra light planes or a gyrocopter) and so I am always happy to hear from people with experience that the game I love so much is very much like the real deal

There should be an audible indication before you start to stall. Anton stated that in another post and according to him the absence of the same is a glitch that will be fixed.

What the FNG said! Good read Dr. Laplace.
I started off using a game pad to get the hang of things.
Then I hooked up my Ace Edge HOTAS and was totally blown away.
I'm a pilot too, learned to fly in one of these:

Is that a Bonanza V-tail? *Jealous* Oooooohhhhhh.

I forgot: very nice review Doctor.

Yepper. '66 Beechcraft Bonanza V35B. It was my Dads' plane, he taught me how to fly it when I was just a youngster.

nice review

hello all!

i have also been lurking for some time and i recently got into gaming again after almost a ten year hiatus. i think the last game i played was microsofts combat flight sim.

anyway, i also found the controls really frustrating at first, especially the p51. its slowly getting more rewarding though and i am almost certain i will get a flight stick for this one!

Full fuel tank? If your taking as much fuel as she will carry it will cause the CoG to shift too far to the rear until the rear fuel tank empties. Same problem affected the Spitfire VIII. She is a twitchy plane also, if its the NT block the tail fillet won'tbe modelled adding to the twitch.
