IL2 calls it flutter............

Dago, it was an aerobatic flight (my first) so I honestly didn't spend too much time looking at the airspeed indicator :)

And admittedly the Texan is not a high speed fighter.  But I do know we pulled up to 5 G's, and had to dive for some decent speed to build up for some of manuevers.  I'm roughly guessing 325 - 350, but that is honestly just a guess.

I suspect your guessing a little too high, as Vne (never exceed speed) is around 223kts (approx 250 mph) if I remember right.  A good friend of mine that I talk with everyday has hundreds of hours in the T-6 and he told me when he took it up to Vne it was very stiff on the controls.

Il2 is a boxed game.

AH is a MMOG.

apples to oranges......never understood why Il2 players felt the need to come to this board to cheerlead Il2 and to criticize AH.

Small minded folks do small minded things.

Sorry rude..
but I am an AH player.
I think it is just natural to wish for the multi player capablilities of AH in a graphical and atmospheric experiance like IL2.
whats the harm.
Not nowing dick about flight models I think its an interesting discusion about the differences.

What I wanna know is.. what happened to that german feller who came here to always tell us how uber-good the Il2 FM would be?

Despite it went through several revisions before it got to what it is today. ;)

(not comparing AH to Il2 either, I'm just saying)

Toad, too bad you couldn't have made it out to fish before the snows came.. prolly woulda' traded plenty of war stories !

great memories of those days and yeah.. those times were damned interesting flying recon.

I remember many sleepless nights when I first started learning all the 'stuff' that really goes on.  Over it now and sleep like a baby :)

You see.. told yah I didn't look at the airspeed indicator.

But it doesn't change my point one bit.  In the normal flight regime that we flew, the aircraft was light on the controls, responsive, and didn't bounce or osillate at all.
