Huh? I respectfully disagree with both of you. While the A is an excellent ground attack bird, the Mustang definitely isn't any worse. The P-51 is a very stable and accurate gun platform, and those 50cals can kill even APCs if you get enough bullets in. So maybe it's just... ahem... you? ;)

I'm not saying any of that is easy to model - far from it - but I'd be surprised if someone simulating those complex systems never resorted to "black box" thinking. What that means is that you're not interested in the real-world logic and/or electronics level of the box per se; instead, what you need to know exactly is its behaviour, i.e. the inputs and outputs it provides and its connections to (and dependencies on) the whole, and then work out the innards from there. Again, not saying this is easy, because it isn't. But at least it gives you some freedom in how to implement the box, instead of trying to clone it exactly. Anyway, I do agree that modelling a WW2 A/C is most likely easier than modelling a 4th generation fighter jet, due to the complexity of the systems the latter carries.

Well that explains it. I've used the Israeli P-51 skin a lot lately and wondered why they're so matte...

Thank you Ramsay, that explains it. You live and learn.

You use it for bomber interception as IRL.

This hunting for RPM is something I've been wondering for a long time. Does the real A/C do that as well, or is it just a modelling "feature"?

An oldie but goodie. That site has existed for as long as I can remember - and I started to use the Internet in 1991 ;) Still, a great site for all aircraft aficionados!

Training for an easy A/C such as the aforementioned L-39, yeah, you probably could. But level D sims exist for a good reason too ;)

Sent you a PM. Could air my thoughts here as well, but unlike some, I'm not keen on accusing people in public.

What do you think would happen if you just RTFMed like everyone else?

Not fully. Controller throws, sensitivities and displacement forces, and airframe responses to controller movements, are so different in a real aircraft that you just can't jump in and fly away.

:huh: :megalol: Look who's talking. Remember these? "The fan boys are quiet now.. They're just in the denial phase. It's ok." "Lookie here triggered boy!"

Well, not the only thing he hasn't understood just yet.

Lies? Oh my, but someone's grumpy this morning. Did I accidentally crap on your cornflakes or something? Anyway, they've mentioned the new cooling model several times and if those plans have changed or fallen by wayside, I at least haven't heard about it.

Yes Sharkh, the warbirds are getting an entirely new engine cooling model.

The A is a very capable ground attack platform and sheer fun to fly. Heartily recommended.

OK. Seems then that Yo-Yo was right when he said you can run it full bore and not burn it up... coolers :D

...which actually is something you know nothing about. I'm mostly offline now, true, but your knowledge about my former scope of activities is still zero. So what exactly are you claiming there?

No, I'm interpreting you correctly. You're airing opinions which may - or may not - be correct, and as such, they're pretty much worthless because you haven't presented anything tangible. So thank you for your opinions. They're nice. Cute, even.

OK, now you're talking.

An interesting find, because IIRC, ED's main developer Yo-Yo said overheating was never a problem with this particular subtype. Hmmm...

No, I most likely won't refrain from further commenting, and certainly not on your say-so. Now, is there anything else I can help you with?

Thank you, finally something tangible instead of crap spewed by persons unmentioned :thumbup: Waiting in earnest for the Mustang test as well. Thanks again. S!

And you're in the ad hominem phase, of which you inaccurately and incorrectly blamed others just yesterday. Heh :D

Please purchase a pedal set and I'll delete this comment. Because the autorudder option is nothing but crutch that has never worked properly.
