They are - I started out in them when I was 14, and didn't have any
problem handling it then. Also fully aerobatic, provided you remember

Just like the Spitfire -- the ME-109's fuel-injected engine was one of
the few advantages it had over the Spitfire's gravity-fed, carbureted

IIRC there was an oil issue with the Merlin's inverted as well.

A gravity-fed wet sump, perhaps?
All the best,

Wonderful aeroplane! I flew one (pilot under instruction) in the late '60's.
Do it, just for the contrast. Then an FG model perhaps?

Yes, this is definitely messed up (for JSBSim at least. I have not
investigated any of the others). Some issues I've found are: the density
of the fuel is wrong, somewhere along the line gallons are passed to a
method

In JSBSim we have reverse thrust and spoilers available. We don't have
anti-skid, autobrakes or autospoilers AFAIK.
