Probably the ones that are furthest away form Reality are the WW1

I remember the Camel from the 80s versions of MSFS (with wire-frame scenery)
It really was the easiest to fly. No gyroscopic effect from the engine
spinning around on the nose. It was quite docile.

About 15 yrs. later, a guy showed up with a real Camel F.1 at an Antique
Aircraft Assoc. fly-in. I remember being impressed that he had to land in
the grass between the runway and the taxiway (tail skid). After discussing
the flight characteristics with him for a few minutes, it became clear why he
only flew it to a few shows a year. The chances of turning the plane into a
ball of sticks and cloth were pretty good in anything other than perfect
conditions.
