Old?! I prefer the term middle-aged
Yes, this aircraft was developed by AH.
No, no. I didnt talk about age of members but about "years with Flight Simulators"

There seems to be an up tick in Political commentary in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site we know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religiours commentary out of the fourms.
If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.
Please note any post refering to a politicion will be considered political even if it is intended to be humor. Our experience is these topics have a way of dividing the forums and causing deep resentment amoung members. It is a poison to the community. We apprciate compliance with the rules.

Hi Nick, are you flying the standard or bubble Chipmunk?

Lovely models! Will be doing a lot of repaints for this one.
One point though - the underwing serial numbers for all military versions has been painted as if they were civil registrations i.e. under the left wing facing forward. This is incorrect on two counts. Firstly, the serials were painted on both wings. Secondly, they faced forwards on the right wing but backwards on the left wing. The RAF and RCAF adopted the same method. This is a great shame as otherwise the schemes are great.

Only in a Supermunk (Chipmunk with a Lycoming) is there a fuel selector. In a normal Chipmunk there is the on/off selector between your legs and then the fuel just flows from one tank to the other.

I've known of some Chipmunks that drain fuel from the left hand tank first, before using that from the right.

at $15, I surely am not supposed to complain.
Fly nicely, but the flat files for sides and canopy is a real killer. It does not even look like curved areas. it is just FLAT.
uninstalled.

Flat files? Mine looks curved...see above.
Hi Chris. P3D v1 or v2? What happens when you attempt to load a flight?
Thanks Nick. I'll look into this issue tomorrow morning when I'm back in the office.
Hi Peter. Thanks for the information, we'll get the registration layouts changed if they are inaccurate.

Hi Martyn. Im using V2 using the V2 installer. Gets to 100% loading, then crashes Prepar3d. Any other aircraft works OK. FSX also OK.
