Once you are up in the air, it is a stable platform for sure. Also taxiing and such is just mainly a problem in a simulator because you have no tactile feedback. So in the simulator sense you need a lot of control input at low speeds and no feedback on how to react. I should probably try VR. Ma

Not that I have flown it, but I do internet for the Air Races and have sponsored a couple of the Unlimited teams.  I have had a fair amount of "hanger talk" about flying the various unlimiteds and stock versions of the 51 are highly regarded as good platforms.  They have some areas of the envel

If the P51 is as difficult to master as it is in DCS I gotta give him some props (pardon then pun). Taildraggers can be a real drag (sorry again) On Tue, May 31, 2022 at 3:48 PM Robert wrote: > That is one of two P-51's he owns. He used to fly the two seater with a > instructor all the time

No model a/c ...   No continuity errors from wings swept to unswept frame to frame.   Cruise insisted on all the right stuff so there would never be another movie to compare.   It was great watching the interview on youtube about the bad guys tasking sats on the life sized model.. On 5/28/22 8
