It's not useless, it's just incredibly cumbersome, and confusing sometimes.
The Griffon engined Spit14, in many ways comparable with the G-10 in engine power and performance, actually feels more gentle in torque than the Spit9.. so what gives?
Also, what bothers me is that I really can't force a vertical in a G-10 now.. maybe its my lack of skill, but when going vertical, once the speed drops under 200mph, there's no way to keep the nose up pointing towards the sky... It's not because I'm stalling, it's because I can't stop the plane from rolling - even a full right deflection cannot stop the G-10 from rolling out of a vertial under 200 mph.. and that just seems weird.
But since I don't know anything about how planes really work, maybe there's some explanation to it.. (but then again, how come the other planes don't suffer so much from it? and how is it that a take-off in a 109, is more easier than in a Spit9 - in the fact that the torque is so strong that there's no need to 'balance' the plane carefully during the take-off roll?? .... and just giving right rudder and right aileron deflection so the two main gears remain firm against the ground until enough speed is caught, is enough to let the plane take off on its own..?)
