Default limit of trim = limit of travel?

(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.


Power off erect spin mode in a P51 is normal and recovery is normal;
similar to the T6.

Power on spins can be unrecoverable in the Mustang and you can lose
tremendous amounts of altitude. Not recommended!
