Mosquito TR Mk.33 – strange flight model behavior in Simulator Battles

Hi,

I’ve noticed that the flight model of the Mosquito TR Mk.33 in Simulator Battles behaves very differently compared to the other Mosquito variants.

The aircraft is quite difficult to take off with, as it starts to climb at a very steep angle on its own right after leaving the runway.

During flight, it also feels very unstable — it’s hard to trim properly, the elevator constantly tries to pitch the aircraft up, and at low speeds it barely responds to control inputs and easily enters a spin.

I tested all Mosquito versions from the Swedish tech tree, and the Mk.VI ASH, which should be roughly equivalent to the TR Mk.33, doesn’t have any of these control issues.

Could someone who plays Simulator Battles check if there’s indeed something wrong with the TR Mk.33 flight model?

If I get the chance, I’ll record a test flight comparing the British and Swedish versions.

the TR33 has a horrible flight model in realistic too.

I can definite confirm this behavior. My first time taking it out in Sim i nearly went vertical after losing ground contact and fell out of the sky back onto the runway for a +1:00 repair. I can also confirm that it is very easy to flat spin in any of the new mosquitos, I’m not sure if it is different than the previous mosquitos. I seem to remember the og mosquitos being relatively stable and fun to fly, I might just be thinking of the beaufighters though

Thanks for your feedback!
I haven’t noticed any major issues with the other Mosquito variants — most of the handling difficulties there usually come down to pilot error.
But the TR Mk.33 really feels like it’s just broken. It’s hard to control during takeoff and even harder to handle in flight, especially at speeds around 300 km/h or lower.
