Re: Now that Comanche goes Gold...

Without question, the P-51D civilian version (and the military version - with an option for a 1950s and 1960s helmeted pilot, besides the leather WWII variety...to go with later repaints). Wouldn't object to the T-6, either.

There is a solution....give us a Cavalier variant of both the military, but especially the civilian bird with high tail and optional tip tanks!

Yeah I also like the ammo and bombs but from a functional pov they don't do much :lol: Just like peeing yourself in a dark suit...it feels good, but nobody really notices...... :mrgreen: :mrgreen: I can't believe it....I use that quote ALL the time!

Cavalier F-51 A hopeless wish, I know...

All, I have "rediscovered" the WONDERFUL WoP Accu-Simmed P-51D, both civilian and military. I have even begun to pay attention to Dudley's hints (for two years I have been crashing a lot at take off because I put in the 6 degrees of "aileron" trim he suggested...only to re-read w...

“You might have a problem just based on this question. It's more about who you have to know than what you need to study at this level.” Paul....Dudley’s comment is STUNNINGLY spot on. Like most big organizations, the final cuts to get to the senior levels are heavily influenced by...politics (...

Re: The secret airplane in development

I think I know what the plane is from the clip :wink: Well, I REALLY am hoping it's a T-33A as well...however, I'm not too encouraged by some performance data I looked up for the T-33. In the clip, they talk about "The airplane trimmed for 90kts at 18,000 feet". So...I looked in an abbrev...

Re: The secret airplane in development

Okay, I do not think it is a U-2 for a number of reasons: - Detailed flight info likely very difficult (if not impossible) to get - The two-seat variant (U-2CT for the old -C model, or the U-2ST for the new model) is not the "standard" variant...the single seater is. - Limited appeal (not ...

Re: A2A Development Update 4/8/18

Whoo-hoo! Guessed it. This will be a must buy (aren't they all?). Always wanted a high fidelity "Doctor Killer"... Here's the rest of my near-term wish list for A2A: 1. Tell us whether or not the T-33A has been abandoned...if so (I'm thinking likely at this point), that will make other dev...

Well Paul, considering the way some are behaving over at Milviz regarding the long in development KA350, I can see elements of what you are saying. One clarification: My comment was not meant to imply anything regarding A2As products or customer service...which are both first rate. That said, Iâ€...

Re: A2A Development Update Dec 2017

Looking forward to hearing about whatever "it" is-- hoping it's more of an update than the December "update" was.

In the end though, imposing the ersatz drama on fans/supporters is comical...typical/predictable behavior pattern for this industry...

Re: A2A Development Update Dec 2017

While I think A2A does a tremendous job on their airplanes (if it works in P3D, I own it-- except for one), it's hard to understand the business logic of whipping everyone into frenzy and then going radio silent. However, it is by no means atypical in this industry... I think one's approach has to b...

Radar nose?

While I recognize that A2A are sticklers for detail, it would be GREAT if you would consider giving us the option of a radar nose (non-functional) so that we could do additional repaints more accurately. This is the same issue that "plagued" (okay, probably too strong of a term...) the B-3...
