Have you seen the "Landing" video from LockOn?
It's obsolete now though.
He-he... now nobody can skid without blowing his tires away.
And after 1.1 release all Su-25 driver will learn and learn restrictions.
And another question: have you heard from your father that cross (giroscope) moment from the prop was very sufficient in P-51, i.e. while changing pitch the plane yaws?

I haven't seen the video yet -- I'll take a look at it.
My father flew the P-51H model during the Korean war. Many of the pilots in his unit were transitioning to the Mustang from B-25s and B-26s that they flew in WWII. He watched 5 of them in less than a year kill themselves by slamming the throttle forward while going missed approach. The combination of torque, P-Factor, and spiral slipstream effects were too strong to counteract at low speed and high Angle of Attack -- the airplanes yawed wildly, stalled the downwind wing, flipped over on their backs and crashed.
So the answer is yes.
