It's hard to say as few WWII P-51 pilots flew with spring-loaded non-FFB USB joysticks. It might all come back to the sensory feedback mechanisms and the plane flies exactly as it did then with respect to physics. Or not. The controls could be the missing key.
I think adjusting your flying and your control system to compensate for the difference between the sim and the real thing are a huge part, but also bad habits picked up from other sims that try and balance playability with simulation, the P-51D from ED doesnt sugar coat it, its an FM based on the real thing... no tweaking to add training wheels
