I have yet to find any aircraft in FlightGear that stalls in a realistic way. As you approach the stall the aircraft should shudder and shake and this should become more pronounced as the stall deepens. The shuddering and shaking should also be audible. At the final stages of the stall depending on the aircraft it should either mush straight ahead while still shuddering and shaking or it should drop a wing and (for some aircraft) enter a spin. Aircraft with a "critical wing" such as the P-51 should stall with little warning (perhaps a little shaking just before full stall) and should drop a wing very quickly when stalled. Instead it mushes straight ahead like a trainer but without any shuddering or shaking. Very unrealistic. This is IMO one of the most important things that needs improved in FG.
