Well done Just Flight for bringing our proud history to the foremost in our simming worldClap
 
Just flying the Spit, Hurri and Me 109 in a comparison mini test is one of the most awesome experiences I have recently had on FSX!!  The flight characteristics are carefully modelled (IMHO) and when flying them in comparison some very interesting observations come to light!
 
Short of a few millon pounds and a very big insurance bill, it would be impossible to ever fly these magnificent, VERY high performance aircraft in the "real world", even if you could find someone to build you a Me 109 E.   So here we have been given the chance to experience the "meat in the sandwich".  The only thing thats missing is the smell of engine oil, petrol, leather and sweat!
 
After all thats been written about the Battle of Britain now you can see what those chaps had to do. I mean, no Garmin! No VOR! No NDB! AND in the case of the ME 109E No Artificial Horizon!!Shocked
 
Just imagine fighting in a Me 109 and you dogfight your way into a large bank of Cumulus? I have to ask how these superb pilots kept spacial orientation?...........well thats just one question!  Here is history on a diskClap
 
Again all I can say is well done JF.......................Oh ek......................... my AH company is suffering now! (Wonder if I could get a few boxes into the Hurricane?Wink)
 
Regards.
