Maybe because that spit in the airshow is not using low octane fuel or has full ammo load and guns + armor on it?

Just a wild guess.

Tac - although probably correct about this Spit not having full ammo or armor, the RAF started using high-octane fuel in Spitfires right after the fall of France (June 1940).

They went from 83 octane to 97/100 octane.

He brings up a valid point....the planes in AH DO seem a bit on the "sluggish" side, compared to every other flightsim--online or offline--I have ever played. And I have played a lot of em.

If AH is the only different one, I would wager AH is not quite accurate somewhere. Unfortunately I lack the resources or time to "prove" it.

EDIT: I don't mean this as "AH's FM is wrong", although as I re-read my post that's what it LOOKS like I'm saying. Rather, I am trying to say there's something causing the AH planes to be sluggish, possibly the way AH reads joystick inputs, possibly something else.

You know that HT has won the "Fighter Over America" competition twice?

That is where wealthy businessmen with some experience in aircraft get to dogfight each other. I know that HT won one over Lake Michigan in a P-51. So HT has flow a P-51 in a mock dogfight. I am sure there were rules to flow, altitude limit, "G" limit, and such. Plus the P-51 in question probably didn't have additional weights added to simulate pilot armor and guns. Still the closest thing to air to air combat that I know of.
