Spit 1 weirdness
« on: April 02, 2004, 02:14:07 PM »
Ok, not sure if this is a bug or not.

When i'm in a spit 1 when travelling level @ 200mph i cannot get enough elevator deflection to stall.  I can yank the stick all the way back and the spit 1 will just go into a nice loop until the speed drops below 160mph then it stalls.  At about 240mph the spit1 cannot deflect it's elevator enough to fully blackout like other planes.  

It seems as if something is causing the spit 1 elevator to not be as powerful as it should be, it can't pull enough G's to stall once you get over 160mph.  It's like stall limiter is on or something.
