Simples... in 1962 it was decided that the tri-service nomenclature was to be introduced. That meant the numbers got reset, and many new things were to the new number (with some notable exceptions). It was just as shambolic beforehand, especially in the army... M-3 light tank, M-3 medium tank, M-3 h...

Had a close encounter with a baby Brown Snake on an industrial site. A colleague and I were sitting discussing life, universe and everything when we realised said snake had slithered between the hands we were leaning back on and the wall of the building, about a foot behind them... We left well and ...

I'm with Skycat on this one... Gp Capt Lewis.

Ah.... that implies rudder pedals are out then. Get a stick with a grip twist for the rudder then. My Saitek X-52 has done stirling service for over a decade.

If cash isn’t an issue, consider a yoke over a stick. IMO, there is more control. I’d used a stick for years then finally made the leap. The difference is marked. I still pull out the stick for those planes that have them.

It’s a solid platform for your trip. If I were to go around in a piston single, it would be my choice.

Good luck. Pics, or it didn’t happen.

Team New to the B-17. Just took her for a two hour trip to New Orleans. Used the shift-2 check list and tool tips to get through. Since skimmed the manual and found the things I didn’t do right. :lol: Sat for a good chunk of the trip thinking they were brave boys, flying those on operations, in dayl...

I managed ~100 hours with only a single throttle. There is an in built method for isolating a rogue engine if needs be.

(in other words, don’t let that hold you back)

There is only one cup in Canada, isn't there?

Strat, every time... The Connie is lovely, and went to more places (for those who want r/w routes). But. The Strat is a beast. She has to be caressed through the sky. Climbs are slow. Descents even slower. You need to add Captain Of The Ship with the Strat. The Connie comes with it already. COTS is ...

My first thought was a ‘40s 57mm SP gun platform...

Welcome to augmented reality manufacturing. It’s gaining traction is some areas. IMO, it’s still a toy for the big boys. No doubt it will become more common place.

Tomas is banned for going over old ground

Gulredrel is banned for not chastising inherz for smoking light filtered cigs within 40’ of the aircraft.

Brilliant! I can't wait... Side question, as a one engine virtual pilot and Fighter Stick user (good advice from Dudley), what twin engine controller would you recommend ? The Bravo is coming. If their yoke is anything to go by, it should be decent. It can be set up in a variety of configurations, ...

At any other setting, the engine controls typically have some differences in between them, resulting in split levers when adjusting for precisely symmetric settings. -Esa I'm hoping there is going to be a check box for those with only one throttle lever so that the two engines behave as one, as opp...
