The plane is a jewel and the modeling seems to stick rather faithfully to the real flight behaviour.
Something I wonder though.
On Zeno's site flight training movie, the P47 is shown to stall by just dropping the nose keeping the wings balanced wehreas in a clean config the WoP drops a wing and tends to spin.
flight modeling : the stall behaviour
flight modeling : the stall behaviour

The POH says: "If controls are held in neutral, there is no tendency to spin, although the left wing drops rapidly, and the airplane will dive out and recover.
"There is a pronounced tendency for the airplane to snap to the left when stalled in a turn. There is ample warning of the impending stall, however, in the form of buffetting of the controls."
About spins it says: "During all types of maneuvers and spin demonstrations, it has been found that the airplane will never spin of its own accord, but must be forced into the spin by the use of elevator and rudder."
(The Zeno's training videos are definitely worth having, particularly if you own the Shockwave planes...)

I don't know whether you imply there that you actually fly a real life 47 but another example :THORmx wrote: i know the plane I fly

So still wondering

Thanks, not wondering anymore ! It seems there's a slight discrepancy between the handbook and some real life experiences something which is not new...
Yes the Zeno's movie enhances a lot the pleasure of flying the WoP 47 and is a credit to her.
