Thoughts and Opinions

Post by Masterius »

I've been very much enjoying flying the AccuSim B-17 (my most favorite aircraft ever) but am debating getting another aircraft to experiment with and have fun. The Stratocruiser looks intriguing, although it looks a wee bit complicated. Just how easy is it to learn how to handle, and how much fun is it to fly?

Hi Chevalier.
I have both COTS aircraft , both are steep learning curves , but the conni is easier and more reliable to fly , with better engineer, the B377 engines are very unreliable , and need constant monitoring and careful handling , in the B377 package you do get the ugly Guppy , boy is this a handful , 10000ft is the highest you go in this beast , and no cockpit heating , so you need to plan your route to avoid mountains above that altitude.
