Thanks for this. Just downloaded it. I have to admit though that the A2A aircraft are in a different league to this. The A2A spit is just phenominal. Cheers, Jack

That Hurri is pretty darned good. A real surprise - and free, too! Initially sluggish as a DC-3 - I twiddled with the MOI for elevator and aileron, plus the elevator effectiveness, and she's now a nice aircraft to fly. Externally she's very, very nice, and internally - well it needs the A2A touch, but it is, by far the best Hurri I've flown to date. 3-1/2 stars! Thanks for your CLS tip, too, Alan: It, too, looks very good. I haven't had the chance to fly it yet, but will later on.

Only trouble is you have have to register for both site, I know they're free but I don't want to register, I prefer to register to sites I choose, and certainly not Justffright..

Yes the registration thing nearly put me off. Anyway I installed the CLS Piper Arrow. Looks nice. Unfortunately it flies like a whale on valium so have now uninstalled it. I even switched yokes thinking there was something wrong with the CH. So much for "tested by real pilots". A pilot whale I presume... Oh well at least it was free.

So much for "tested by real pilots".

What you have to remember when you read 'tested by pilots', is that it doesn't ever say 'successfully tested by pilots', I mean, here are some things tested by pilots:

So why didn't they do that in the first place!? I can't be assed to reinstall it. I had to wrestle it around the circuit am so tired now I'm going to go to bed and read "Handling the Big Jets":(

So why didn't they do that in the first place!

I really don't know why - or care - but there are probably lots of simmers (like me) who have a soft spot for Sydney Camm's revolutionary (for 1934) design, and there aren't that many Hurricanes around the flight sim world. It's free, and if someone wants to tweak it a bit because it's obviously incorrect - then these figures I've used - which are basically A2A's WoP3 Spitfire settings - will give them a starting point.

Ah! Sorry you misunderstand I was talking about the CLS Piper Arrow not the Hurricane! I'll amend my post. I LOVE anything to do with our WW2 aircraft:D Downloading the Hurricane now!

You speak from experience - you' ve actually flown a Hurricane?

[SQUAWKIDENT 3]
