Quick question on stalling
« on: July 08, 2001, 11:36:00 AM »
I understand that WW2 planes were not as agile as they are today. Every plane had (and has) its limits. But when flying some of the larger aircraft, the "climbing rate" cannot exceed something like 5 degrees before that incessant buzzing sound starts up and you plane loses control as it start to show signs of stalling  :(. I know the programmers who wrote the codde for the physics engine in the game spent alot of time at their screen making sure players would be exposed to only the most realistic experience. So I know it's obviously something I'm doing wrong.
  But most planes I've tried can't even successfully take off from a carrier. Maybe one of you veterans can reveal some of the secrets of obtaining maximum lift while taking off. I'm sure it's something with those flaps.
