DCS: Spitfire Mk LF IXc Discussion


Yo-Yo

You think that Mk IX will make you an absolute winner?

I have bad news for those who consider P-51 too stick sensitive and thus prone to stall... :)

As Spitfire has neutral stability there is only 3/4" of stick travel to stall as it was reported by NACA. Really silk hands or full scale joystick required... :)

It will be no mercy, hardcore only - all will be as Mitchell designed.

Sounds like this flight model will bring a new meaning to the word hardcore? Looking forward to it Yo-Yo!

Well because of ED/RRG I think someone will need to design full scale Flight Sticks then :)

 

Oh wait... someone already did ;)

She should be a challenge to take off and land :)

 

Hardcore all the way :)

Yup, I will never fly a real Spitfire, I expect ED to get me as close as possible... and I expect every good AND bad about the flight experience :) I have my Albert Price book on my desk, flipping through it now and again just waiting for the first flight :)

Oh yes, spitfire stability is the elliptical wing effect. Go for it Yo-Yo... make it as hardcore you can, this is the DCS way.

 

No, it is intended telative airframe and CG position. Neutral stability was quite popular in 30'. Polikarpov's I-16 has the same neutral or almost neutral stability but Spit was easier to handle because it was better dampened due to longer fuselage and tail arm.

3/4" is about the slack in my joystick before the FF motors bite, should be ok, just don't forget to model the superb turning performance.

 

 

I am sure it will be modelled, but you will probably have to bring your A game in order to get the most out of her... wont be easy to be the best :)

I can't remember the airshow or the pilot's name speaking. But he was asked to compare the spit and 109 on turning. He without any hesitation, said the 109 was hands down superior...sorry, can't remember the model spit or the 109's that he has flown.

The CoG of a service Spitfire IX was about 3% MAC further forward than that of the tested Spitfire V and the control characteristics were considerably different.
