I know that in real life when I learned how to fly I was told how to break a stall/spin and the Corsair does need those inputs to do so, if you screw up once, it's going to hit the ground. In fact, the further into the spin it gets the harder it is to break the spin and recover. Again that's how many planes are in real life.

Now something even harder is to get it into a spin with the wings folded, that's the ultimate disaster. Considering I've seen doghouses and brooms fly I won't say that it's unrealistic for the Corsair to fly with folded wings, but it is most definitely very hard to fly that way and do anything beyond basic flight.

I honestly think the sim is very close, maybe a bit easier on the defaults, but they do behave very similar to the real models or at least the ones that I've flown. I'd like to find a Duraplane simulated in it and then make it overweight to see how much of a brick it can become. The real model is a dog if you put it overweight by 3 lbs and barely flies, but it will spin like the Corsair under those conditions and is hard to regain control.

For what it's worth, my plane of choice is the Cap 232 and the sim does it justice. The others are fun to play with, who knows if they're accurate, but they are fun. I've never flown a P40 before and I suspect it's greatest challange is on the ground, or so I've been told. I like flying hard to fly planes personally, especially tail wheel planes. Except in real life, they can humble you real quick which is why I'm working on adding that endorcement.
