More aerobatics in the Spitfire, please. You made it look easy! I feel proud of myself if I can take off and land it without crashing.

@paulthurston2883 Год назад

I've been flying GA and airliners for years in X-Plane & MSFS but this one has me stumped. I'm really struggling with this plane. Surely they can't have been this twitchy or hard to fly ? I'm having a hard time just taxying let alone take off and landing.

@mrstyles9999 6 месяцев назад

@@paulthurston2883they were. They required such skill in every phase of flight. Pilots of the spitfire have described the flight surfaces as so different from one another as to say. In order to fly the spitfire well, one has to perform an Irish gig on the rudders, arms wrestle the ailerons and gently caress the elevators. They were very twitchy because they were designed that way. They were highly manoeverable. Which made them twitchy and difficult to fly. In terms of ground handling they are very similar to a lot of heavy tail draggers like the p51. They can be difficult because of the high moment of inertia you have to overcome to start a turn

@Streaky100001 Год назад

I'm now Spitfire pilot, but have heard from real world pilots that you've got to be really careful on the takeoff roll when you bring the tail up not to bring it too high. From what they were telling me you don't want to bring it right the way up as you might in a lot of tail draggers, but rather just get the tail wheel off the ground, but hold it low, so you've still got a nose up attitude. The reason for this is prop clearance, or rather lack of prop clearance. The spit has very little clearance between the bottom of the prop and the ground, and in a tail high position, when you factor in the travel on the suspension, you can theoretically catch the prop on the ground, hence staying tail low gives you just a little more clearance to reduce that risk. But anyways, great stuff, always love watching your videos!

@cgaviator Год назад

Makes sense. This model is very tricky in takeoff which I guess must be accurate! Though if the prop hits the ground it bends… I’ve… tested it! 😂

@Streaky100001 Год назад

@@cgaviator Yeah, I've flown the flyingiron spit a fair bit myself (the spit literally got me into aviation in the first place, so how could I not??) I have heard the real world spit is pretty lively for anything on the ground. Those who've flown the real thing must have some serious skill! (If anyone wants to sponsor me to go learn to fly the real thing I'll happily confirm that definitively :P) Yeah, I've bent a few props myself..... it's great fun in a computer generated spitfire, but I hate to think what that'd cost if you did that to the real thing. I just know it'd be an eye wateringly expensive repair.

@paulkirkland3263 Год назад

Great video - it's always very interesting to hear a real life fast-jet pilot's views and opinions on such things. Can there be anything more stirring than flying this Spitfire over Chico Mick's Duxford ? It's like being at the last night of the Proms. The latest update's flight model caught me out, however, particularly with the engine torque. It led to a perfect two-point take off - left wheel, left wing tip. " This is where it's won or lost..." I know that feeling, particularly with the Spitfire. Lovely stuff.

@Retset Год назад

I'm so glad you enjoyed this aircraft. Beautifully flown (by this point I expect no less!). Yes please to more aeros and I'm looking forward to the nav ex. I'm also realising I'm missing out quite a bit on this glorious machine by lazily starting the flight on the runway, not to mention my half a glance at the manual ... which has resulted in flames, and I think bits of engine, exiting the exhaust once or twice! I love that it does that, and things like not starting if it's not primed right!

Hey Chris, what was it that you had five years in? RU-vid has transcribed it as "shorts to kindness" … somehow I don't think that's quite correct! 😂 Also, is it economics and/or slower speeds that makes the RAF train on these, or is there more to it? Interested in the logic. (Learning to fly fast jets in DCS from the start has been challenging enough, so I can imagine that it is more about slower speeds than the economics!) Fabulous video! Thanks!

Actually the dynamics are fairly decent with the MSFS version. There’s not quite enough inertia but it does actually spin unlike a lot of the others. I’ve tried the DCS version but it doesn’t look as nice in cockpit and you can’t fly it anywhere in the world. If only DCS and MSFS combined! 😅

Are you in vr?? and how to get graphics / How to use vr without horrendous lag. How to get people watching too?

@cgaviator Год назад

This is TrackIR. Graphics are set to High not Ultra. There’s a VR flight simmer channel that may have your answers. You can upload videos to RU-vid or stream it live to any number of platforms (Facebook, twitch etc). I use OBS Studios for recording but it can also stream. My PC specs are at a link in description. Hope that helps.

@Votingalloy-me8hi Год назад

@@cgaviator The ones you have link for free. SO not the graphic mods but others.

@@Votingalloy-me8hi ah, I understand. For PC only. Download from link (lots of flightsim .to). Extract the contents to your community folder. That should do it 👍🏻

I wonder if flying irons would ever do a rolls Royce griffon variant?

@cgaviator Год назад

I don’t think it would make business sense to do, but who knows.

I could watch you doing aerobatics in the spit all day long..................................

I’m gonna have to, yup, a aero video! 😁

@petrokemikal Год назад

I never understood why flight sims dont include the actual pilot in the cockpit.. Doesnt matter how good a sim it is, it just feels wrong to me that you cant see hands and feet, it just feels hollow or disconnected..

@cgaviator Год назад

True, and some developers have started enabling that 👍🏻

Actually, I prefer this model over the DCS one. Controversial I know! 😂

Closest you gonna get is DCS. MSFS can't come even close with it's physics

@cgaviator 11 месяцев назад

I dunno, not in the case of the MSFS Spit. They’ve actually done a really good job of it. All opinion of course. But the MSFS one certainly looks better. The DCS one needs an update.
