Any one seen the new B-26 at SOH. I just installed it today and have flown it a little. It is something new to tide us over till A2A has a new bird.

The screenshot there looks good. How are the cockpit, sounds and flight model?

It looks good inside and out and it requires some finesse to make a decent approach and landing. There are too many skins and I deleted all but three. Worth a try can't beat free.

See this discussion thread -- lots of positive comments.

The YouTube video on page 4 should give you a good feel of the audio/visuals. (The poster added the bombsight crosshairs view.)

Looks great, but as an FSX model I can't have it in my P3D sim, don't want to risk stability with a port.

thanks,

Unfortunately there are known issues with none native aircraft or scenery or indeed anything on the platform that can cause sim stability issues, and crashes and in worst case mean a reinstall of the host sim. This is why my P3Dv4 is kept light with just software created for that platform using its own SDK/PDK.

However going to grab the B26 for my FSX Steam edition

Didn't know that ! Another of many reasons not to switch to P3D as far as I am concerned.

The shots above are from p3d4, I have not had any issues whatsoever..
..and it's a great bird to paint as well

You do realise that 90% of the default P3d aircraft are not P3d native, but FSX ports anyway!
