VH-Rock Posted July 7, 2012 Share Posted July 7, 2012 Mac, You're welcome to fly with us! We regularly put up public servers to allow people to come and fly with us and, as a benefit for us, it also gives us the chance to scout new pilots should we every need one. We found our right wing in a public server we hosted... At the time he was just starting out with formation but we like his dedication to getting better. Anyway, he started flying in our public servers a lot and we helped him with a few tips and leading him a lot. When our original right wing had to leave the team, we immediately had a replacement to turn to :) Virtual Horsemen - Right Wing (P-51) - 2008... Virtual Ultimate Fighters - Lead (P-47) - 2020...

ED Team JimMack Posted July 20, 2012 Author ED Team Share Posted July 20, 2012 (edited) There have been so many great videos created for Flaming Cliffs, Black Shark and A10C that is difficult to create a top ten. For me, one of my top favourites is Frazer flying an aerobatic display in the Black Shark. The reason that it is a favourite is not only that Frazer is one of the best virtual display pilots that the community has, but that the video is very instructive in the display of the 3 views:- - External - Pilot's view - Cockpit view - so you can see how the controls are being moved in a manoeuvre. I would be very interested in seeing a similar video with the P51D in an aerobatic display - rolls, hesitation rolls, loops (accurate - no egg shapes), barrel rolls etc. As a point of trivia: Some of you may have seen at Flying Legends Stephan Grey flying the Bearcat as the "joker" at the end of the display. Once he enters the display at a high speed pass, he never touches the throttle. He plans his display so that he is trading speed for height, and then height for speed. You really have to know the aircraft characteristics to get it right! See For displaying a P51 in current air displays, you do not want to strain either the engine or airframe. A typical maximum for vertical manoeuvres would be 47 inch manifold, with 2,700 rpm, and not exceeding 4G, reducing to 40 inch and 2,500 rpm for horizontal manoeuvres. Fuel will be at half tank. Of course - in the 2ndWW no one bothered about limits! Edited July 20, 2012 by JimMack more info Having problems?

The flight model has been improved and, well, I'm a happy man! thanks for the heads up on how to snap roll last night. great to fly online with you. the snap rolls are too much fun. trying the climbing flat spin makes sense now in how to execute it but still cant stop the bird from righting itself half way through the move. any tips there ? and at what stage do you drop the manifold?

104th_Mac Posted July 24, 2012 Share Posted July 24, 2012 Climbing flat spin thanks for the heads up on how to snap roll last night. great to fly online with you. the snap rolls are too much fun. trying the climbing flat spin makes sense now in how to execute it but still cant stop the bird from righting itself half way through the move. any tips there ? and at what stage do you drop the manifold? Pull full power hard into vertical by watching out the side of the cockpit. The horizon should be perpendicular to your plane. Climb for 3 to 4 seconds to insure you have enough altitude for the maneuver. A left snap roll takes advantage of the engine torque. Start your maneuver above 250 kias, kick full left rudder and full left aileron and full up elevator (hard rudder, and stick hard back and to the left). Wait until you feel the spin begin, quickly pull back the manifold only (RPMs full), neutral stick but keep the hard left rudder. You should be hanging upside down by this time. That's how I do it. Once you stop spinning, neutral rudder, wait until your nose drops, ease in the manifold (watch out for carb-cough) to full power, aileron to orient the way you want to go, and pull out of your dive. By the way, the reason I was having so much trouble on the ground was my joystick was in the process of dying. It is now completely in pieces. I have emailed Thrustmaster who asked for some photos of the mess. Hopefully, they will let me ship it to them for repair (at my expense since I broke it!) I don't think I will be flying this coming weekend.

Mustang vs. Bridge (spoiler: Mustang wins :huh:) Practice flying in a straight line in a 45 degree bank without dropping much altitude. Then try the same railroad bridge at a 45 degrees bank. I've seen an A-10 do it in FC2. But the flight model, then, was arcade-ish.

BudgieSmuggler Posted August 10, 2012 Share Posted August 10, 2012 I learned some things tonight: 1) P51 wings are made of fire, with a thin sheet of metal-like material to keep the fire in. I was pretty sure of this already but this video proves it. 2) Ctrl-F11 camera is awesome. 3) Apparently flaming pieces of P51 can be used to trim power lines. Would someone consider doing me a custom skin? I'd like to name my bird "Fireball", with some flames on the side etc. It doesn't have to look too fancy, just like a big messy flaming ball of wreckage; it's sure to blend in with the actual flaming ball of wreckage I will create shortly after grabbing the controls..
