Great find! I thought this was once payware. Am I wrong about that?

The visual model is supurb. HOWEVER, has anybody got it to take off in a straight line? My first experience was that it is way too sensitive to rudder control on the ground. I kept veering off to one side and crashing before ever getting to flying speed. Anybody know how to defuse the rudder action?Stan V.

Try the same as you would with a Spitfire - apply a small amount of power to start moving and build the power up as rudder authority increases. :-)Ian P.

Thanks for the tip, Ian. Unfortunately I did try that but so far I have not been successful - the torque eventually pulls it off to one side and then it overreacts to the rudder when I try to correct no matter how gentle I try to be. Am I the only one having trouble with this aircraft?Stan V.

Yeah, theres way way more torque effect here than in the Spitfire.

They are working on a fix for this. In the meantime I moved my realism sliders from max to medium and all is fine. Hawk

Get upgraded flight dynamics here :http://www.cfcforums.com/showthread.php?t=9803Look for Magoo on the second page. Modv2.0 for both A & B models. Performs as lovely as it looks now! :9

Thanks for the heads up, just grabbed it.

Thanks for the info on the FDE upgrade and now I can actually get it off the ground and fly it. It handles very well too. One more niggle, if I may - when I shut off the engine, the engine turns off but the prop keeps turning as seen from the spot view and the VC view - at about idle speed. Does anyone else have this problem and can anyone suggest a fix?Stan V.

I've got the Pureflight Jobbie and it is not tha same at all, they are both the same aircraft but the similarity stops there. the take of is a lot harder than the RA Spit IMHO, the trick is to lock the tail wheel, the lever in the VC works fine for this. its still a bit of a handfull but it can be made to take off.
