I was The King at that...I could stall/spin and die while flying straight ahead!!
I guess I've learned since then, but it has taken concious effort, talking to myself as I fly ("don't pull too hard...ride the stall buzzer...ease off, cowboy!"...etc.)
Now I only spin when I get frantic or panic during a tight fight and lose the guy who's pounding me - I turn too hard trying to find him.

Hmm to be honets I don't have any trouble with my logitech either. Granted I don't use it much. It's on the guest PC. But I've played it a few times just to check out the rig and it's worked fine. Only reason I don't use it is because there are not enough buttons.

y main machine has the Saitek x52 which has given me a few problems.

Oh, you would love the full warm up routine then, LOL.  I start by flying through the north small pad fighter hanger, and make two slight turns while crossing the field to set up the enterence (the hardest part imo) to the south big pad bomber hanger.  Then I do the yo-yo like in the film.  On exit of the north BH, I do another extreme yo-yo into the south bigpad FH.  On exit of that I zoom into a hammer head and come back down through the north bigpad FH (right next to the previous hanger).

It's just a little excercise I do when the mood strikes me.

That's why I could do that film at the drop of a hat in one take.

Someone had asked me for a film of this...

Awsome show of command over your plane Murdr! >S<
I had to smile at the kids trying to follow you.... in a few years maybe.


Oh, and nice deadstick landings at the end - both of them .
