    Post 16 Update

    Post 17 Warning old domain name stealing credentials

  • IMPORTANT INFORMATION - ALL MEMBERS PLEASE READ

    Due to an increase in the number of new members who are trying to systematically download our entire Resource Library (one new member yesterday tried to download 3,000+ files AT ONCE!) we are being forced to implement some changes regarding who can download what, how many files at a time and at what speed. As the forums and Resource Library share the same bandwidth when the Library gets overloaded with demand like that the forums fall over, as we have all seen recently. It's sad that greed has forced our hand in this way but we must do something for the benefit of all our legitimate members (many of whom paid money for the upkeep of the site) and to prevent the files stored here being used for nefarious purposes. Many of our uploads have specific conditions tied to them that forbid uploading to any other site or deny uploading to any site that has a 'paywall' (i.e. a pay to download policy). Due to the number of mass download attempts recently we can only assume that somebody, somewhere, is attempting to stock up a new file library with our files and we owe it to our up-loaders to protect their files and intellectual property especially as many (like my own LDR Development projects) are made available at SOH only and are specified as such in the 'read me' files.

    The forums and Resource Library will be taken offline as of 13:00 EDT with the forums coming back online shortly after without the resources library while we work on setting up permissions on the new Library module.

    We hope our members understand why we need to do this and will bear with us while we implement the changes.

    Thanks in anticipation, SOH ADMINISTRATION

    Downloads are now active. You may proceed with downloading as desired

    The download limits are a work in progress. Some settings are likely to need tweaking in the coming days.

P-40 e/f wip

Then again a turning fight in a 109 is always in invitation to that.

Are you planning on doing other P-40 models as well?

Slow and easy does it.

Save for the horrendous fuel consumption at low level, I found the 162 not really difficult to fly when enough common sense was applied.

At the moment, I am concentrating on getting a high quality model of a P-40 E and a P-40 F. Once that is done, I will look at other variants, most probably a P-40 N. First things first. There is a long way to go on the P-40 E. I have most of the main gear modeled correctly but even that job is not finished as we speak. I still have to get in and do a good job on the 3-D cockpit. Then there are the high quality paints - not started yet.

The 162 looks like fun and frustrating at the same time.

Rome wasn't build in a day. Take your time.

On my last flight, I ran out of fuel on final and crashed into a lake because that thing doesn't glide. So yes, it's a bit of an adventure.
 
I think we maybe closing in on a RLC. Lots of tweaking going on. This week added a Mae West life Vest to the pilot figure.
lot of corrections to artwork etc. Here are More paints... RAF, Dutch, USN and Fin. I've edited the screenshots to obscure the Swastikas on the Finnish paint. The
historically accurate insignias will be present, but I will also ask Dom to provide an alternative for those not wanting them.

This was only my fourth flight in this wonderful airplane from VSkylabs. Other times, the main gear collapsed, or the engine caught fire (or a combination of the two for the second flight). This He-162 will eat your lunch if you don't fly it "by the book".

Try landing at about 200 km/h with the power on and only use slow throttle movements.
 
Soon hopefully. I hope you'll enjoy using it as much as I have. Dom's done a great job of bringing this to XP11.
