Only the Spitfire I's engine cuts out on negative G's, and for that matter so does the Hurri I's.  The other Spits and Hurris do not have this problem.

Are you new to flight sims?  Even if you've played some boxed flight sims in the past, get ready to die, a lot...I first learned in the 109F, but most people here wouldn't recommend that.  Have fun! :aok
I was going to mention the 109F
Why?
For starters it is perfect. It shows you how tight some planes can turn, whilst (at high speeds) can show you how crappy. Also can show you some good dogfighting skills and ammo management. Once you get good, 120 rounds of 20mm cannon can get you 8 kills fairly easy. You may seem like it's not a lot of rounds, but dang, if you are big on conservation of ammo, you can last forever :)

the la-7 is the fastest plane that a noob can get becase it doesn't cost any perks and has a low cruising spped of 350 miles :O per hour which is extremly fast for a plane that isn't in a dive at all

I found the Spitfire VIII agreeable. Now if I could only hit something (other than the ground I mean).

I'm not exactly living up to my name. :lol

Yes I have CH Combat stick USB. And I use the throttle from a Saitek X45 with the rudder thingy on it. Not an ideal setup, but it works.

Indeed it works. I assume you've already set all the controls up. Take some time to fly in the Training Arena, learn the ropes of flying around in there and ask all your questions there so you don't make an idiot of yourself in the MA. :)

Funny, I was completely chastised for recommending the 109F-4 to a new player a couple months ago. :rolleyes:

I think it's a good choice for a new player because it's a good dogfighter and easy to handle, but not so uber that it will teach you bad habits.  Our 109F-4 can carry up to 200 20mm shells.

Duh. It's the E4 that carries 120 rounds isn't it? *smacks self* Long day.
What you said is true. It's a good learner because it shows you the basics, and you will not die instantly, usually, but people won't call you a dweeb for killing in it.

Bob, I'm always puzzled that you include the Hurricane in the standard list of easy aircraft.  Why?
