Default limit of trim = limit of travel?

I'm not sure I understand: Are you saying that you can do slow flight in
the
sim as in the real aircraft, except that you have to do it by instruments,
or
are you saying that the sim doesn't correctly simulate slow flight at all
(i.e., it can't be done)?


Sorry, I lost this thread beneath the avalanche of Bertie/Maxwell crap.
It's amazing the depths to which so-called "real" aviators can sink.

Anyway, the former is correct. Other than engine sound there is no "feel"
in the sim, so everything in slow flight mus be done on instruments.
Interestingly, we were trying to spin one of the Mustangs (that comes with
the Acceleration package), and were unable to do so. It just would not
break, even fully cross-controlled at the stall. Perhaps Dudley can comment
on this, as I was under the impression that Mustangs would spin pretty
easily.

Also, are you using the default aircraft or have you installed add-on
aircraft? For the Cessna I'm flying, I use Carenado's Cessna 182RG II
simulation, which is supposedly pretty good (vastly better than the
default
Cessna, of course).


Nope, I was referring to default aircraft.
