Help! Dudley! I can't execute a loop!

Arguably the finest fighter aircraft of World War II.

As for flying the loop you need 260kts and in the real Mustang you do pull pretty hard on the stick. ease off a little on the downside, then pull hard again to complete the loop. In FSX though how hard you pull is dependent on your joystick. On mine if I pull back all the way I'll end up in an accelerated stall. If though I just pull till I feel resistance, I can loop pretty easily. Below is the video of my real flight on Crazy Horse performing a loop, as well as other maneuvers

Thanks for the input tf51d! Yes, that is the same video. On my setup, I tried to pull until I started to blackout but stalled before I reached that point. I decided to pull until the G meter got close to 4, then as my airspeed bleeds off close to 150 MPH lol, I ease the back pressure and look up for the horizon. I hope to perfect the maneuver this weekend.

Can anyone do a loop with full tanks and Salvo? :twisted:
(P51 Mil.)
I would be astonished to find that its possible in these conditions.

Edit: Just did a bare-knuckle flip with 0% fuse 80% left 100% right and full salvo (ammun, 1000 LB bombs and rockets). The Fuse weight makes all the difference. Maybe if I was 50lb lighter I could do it?
