Fokker Dr.I, Camel and S.E.5a pitching up uncommanded

Recommended Posts

I've been playing FE for some time now, but it always bugs me that I can't fly the Fokker Dr.I because it pitches up automatically, without an input. The same with the Sopwith Camel and the S.E.5a

That is because a lot of WWI aircraft were inherrently Tail Heavy, and as there was no trim at the time, they were not EVER flown hands off, becaause of the need for forward pressure on the stick. The DR1 was definately one of these, so is modelled correctly. It is the same in WOFF as well by the way.

No, it is good that you ask questions,  if you do not ask them, you remain unaware of things, never stop learning I say !!! 

Happy Flying mate. :good:
