I downloaded this for FS 2004 the other day. I really like the old C-133 so found this and needed it! The only thing is its almost impossible to land. Put the flaps down and the plane just floats forever. Then when I do land and put on full reverse the plane wants to tip on it's tail. :?

Other then the oddities of flying it. The plane came with its own soundtrack and love the art work on it. It has full opening ramps, doors, and clam shell doors. The cockpit is bare though with only a few non moving instruments. But the windows have detail. :)

I did download a B-36 but it has the default sound of one of the jet liners. :? So I deleted it out of my files. :)

I dunno... maybe I'm baised...

First there's the FSX A2A Simulations Wings of Power III B-17G with Accusim "Texas Raiders" (a free repaint for the base package). www.a2asimulations.com

Image

But then I also like the FS9 A2A Simulations Wings of Power II P-51D Mustang "Moonbeam McSwine"

Image

or maybe a little "Bald Eagle"...

Image

Occasionally I pull this one out of the hangar when I'm feeling like doing something different -

Image

In all honesty, I have several hundred airplanes in the hangar, but I only fly a small number of them due to work. I just selected ones that most on here would probably recognize/appreciate. The quality of these airplanes really help you understand that the real things aren't as easy to operate as some may want to believe.

After reading some of the sim posts here I downloaded some more modern iron. Have been having a lot of fun with them during bad weather.

I don't see why its not. I allow flight sim chat on the main board on us-aircraft. It's all within the same hobby.

OK...But I thought this forum was more directed toward warbirds and I don't believe any of these digital creations
were ever warbirds. They're (as some here have said) posers.
OK...Whatever!
