I want that Spit Mk.I and the Hurc, Emil and Me-110 to go with it! Maybe even a Dewoitine 520!

But I don't see it happenin' for a good long while.

FXXII or F22. Why not?

I want it...

Hey, funked seems to be slightly unhappy since there are not enough spitfires in this simulation. And given the temperament that funked can exhibit and the wrath of the gods he can hurl onto Texas if he doesn't get what he wants, I would strongly suggest, HT, get your a..s down and get those spities out. Or ELSE ... (308 will rotate countries AGAIN ;-)

You should probably see a doctor about that.

Yet another shamless punt.

And here's the snap. Ray Guy takes it and it's a booming punt. That one's stuck in the scoreboard folks!

I can see a bit of a problem with introducing a clipped wing Spitfire. At present, it seems that most AH aircraft roll far more quickly than NACA data would suggest. The exception, of course, is the 190 series of aircraft.

So if you introduce a fast rolling clipped wing Spitfire, just how would you model its roll performance at present?

funked · « **Reply #55 on:** April 14, 2001, 08:06:00 AM »

Well that's pretty far off topic, but what the heck.

I think what's missing on the current Spitfires is the wing twist, which could actually cause aileron reversal at high speeds. This probably affects all the planes. Note that the AH Fw 190 roll rate curve is higher than the NACA one at high speeds too.

Unless I'm looking at the charts wrong, the biggest gaps are only about 20-30 deg/sec for most of the planes. It should be examined, and the numbers should be changed if HTC doesn't have some information showing otherwise. But it shouldn't stop HTC from modelling one of the most common variants of the best air-to-air fighter in the history of mankind.
