I did not originally even reply to you. If you feel theres nothing new, why not refrain from posting?

 

Not everyone has time to go through several pages of long discussions. Yes you are rude.

 

Well, I keep posting because I don't really appreciate somebody coming in after not reading what has been said, and then misrepresenting the arguments that have been made, and basically just starting the whole thing over at the same place we were on Page 1.  I think that's being rude.

It was an opinion. With terms one should be able to comprihend from the context. It was not directed to you or anyone else specifically. If you dont want to discuss it, then dont, it isnt more complicated than that.

There are 6 pages of discussion which demonstrate that *****NOBODY**** said S-Curves were fake trimming.  

S-curves cannot be made to work without artificial trimming. You can’t have one without the other.

And what was my response to that for the last 3 or 4 pages, when it was pointed out the other 20 times?  I mean seriously man, I'm really starting to wonder about some of the people here...You do remember that you and I were both participants in this discussion for the last two days, right?

Time to move on...

It is absolutely necessary to use a moderate curve at the beginning. Otherwise the plane would not be playable at all for a beginner. 
The most important thing for me, however, is that you deal with the plane.

The Fokker Dr.I is not an easy to learn plane if you want to fly the plane perfectly. 
You need practice and understanding how the Dr.I behaves in the air. 

To operate the thrust of the airplane correctly and to work with the Blib are the basics of this airplane.

You don't need a high rpm to get up with the Dr.I.   

But the most important thing is - the Dr.I isn´t a beginner plane!

In both fights, I could be criticized for my shooting precision. I just didn't care because it's about other things in the movies (for example turning over the left wing). 

If you dont believe me here are some movies about my shooting precision:

I made so many tutorials about the Dr.I (sorry but all the tutorial are in german language) to explain the behavior of the plane and the effect of the Oberursel Umlaufmotor and i can say the Dr.I is one of the most interesting planes I have. 

You can spend hour after hour with the airplane and more and more you will understand this masterpiece.

Dont be sad if it is hard at the beginning, fly the Dr.I and learn about it and maybe sometimes you will be a master.

 

Sorry that my [german] tutorials are less helpful for you but it will be too much work to translate it or add engl. subtitles into the movies.

My youtube channel is just a hobby channel without financial interests and i cant spend more time in the channel.

No, there is no neeed to use curves early on. Starting form simple planes and going into more and more difficult one, and taking time to actually familiarise with the model before jumping into combat situations, is more than suffficient.

There is no plane in RoF that can't be learned on basic /-curves in a week by using "strafe truck convoys until you can kill 5 trucks without running out of ammo or meeting landscape" method. FC planes we have seen so far are more controllable than RoF, so it's even easier there.  Curves reduce the need to learn rather than help learning.

Of course, some people have spent years on RoF with curves and can't just switch to /-curve without sense of loss, so it can't be reduced to matter of right and wrong..
