This user wants a fixed wing transport like the C123.

no, only in a Cessna 150 when I was taking flying lessons. it,s how the instructor said to do it.

I crab on final and straighten out to touch down.

great idea for training, or for lazy people like me that would just like to ride along sometimes.

C-123, two engine fixed wing cargo. it's like a half size C130.

C-123, two engine prop transport.

Islands need supplied, cargo ships and planes.

next plane, looking for a good A to A and A to G. what is opinion between F18 and F16. I already have F15 for A to A and A10c for A to G, looking for a plane to do both. Open to suggestions.

OK, now I understand about the gray buttons but I don't have the actual sounds in the game, no engine sound, wind, guns, tires, ECT I can still hear the instructor in the training flights fine.

On the splash screen I have the all boxes (hear in helmet, etc etc) checked. When in the plane under options, I have all the boxes checked but only two are lit up, the rest are grayed out, "hear in helmet" and "external" are working ok. I have run the cleanup and repair but that did not fix the sound problem. Need help.

When joining a MP I have to pick red or blue and type it into "chat". Where is "chat"? I don't see any place that says "chat".

I want to fly a plane, not reprogram my computer.

I would like more realism in the training flights, if I make a mistake the instructor just sits there and lets me fly on and on and on. I have had real flying lessons and when I made a mistake the instructor would tell me and what to do correctly.

What? you're not a "touch typist"? :)

I like the C-123. It looks like a half size two engine C-130. It was used in Vietnam by Air America.

I use the ti6000 stick and throttle, both the twisty and the paddles operate the rudder. But I use the paddles mostly on takeoff and seldom use much rudder input when flying. Turns are mostly ailerons and elevators with a little rudder to keep the ball centered.

C123 of Vietnam/Air America fame. Two engine that looks like a small C130.

We need a real transport helicopter, I nominate the Boeing CH-47 Chinook. There is also a gunship version.

In real life the A10 should be with the Army and Marines, the Air force just wants jet fighters anyway.

In MP when transmitting is the mic voice activated or do I use a hot key and is that key the "com" key or do I have to set up another key?

Just a small thing, put the left and right consul views into the view lists, so we can access the radio and other controls easily. Right now the snap view is almost OK but we have to hold down the snap key and input data.

Boeing CH-47 Chinook is what we need.

C123 a smaller two engine version of the C130. It was used by the "Air America" group. C-123 Provider of the U.S. Air Force, history and photographs https://www.airplanesofthepast.com/c123-provider.htm History and Development of the C-123 Provider. The rugged C-123 became an essential part of U.S. Air Force airlift during the Southeast Asia War, where it flew primarily as an in-theater airlifter and a Ranch Hand sprayer. Designed by the Chase Aircraft Co. just after World War II, and built by Fairchild, the C-123 evolved from earlier large assault glider designs.

MY first landing was a bit bouncy, but all I bent was the landing gear.
