Note to YoYo - next time use even more smilie faces

Note to self - stop trying to suggest release dates based on Hallmark holidays (or even real ones)

Note to AH - Thanks for building a Chippie for MSFS

And you started in on your 1:48 spitfire that your dad bought you, with a slightly shaky hand on the tube of glue hoping that you wouldnt ruin the plastic canopy with glue run off, in the knowledge that this would take a few more days or even a week but you didnt care...

The hours as a kid invested in modeling. So many good memories.

Always fighting the glue run off!
 
Hope someone will do a Portuguese Air Force skin...posing back in 1965, pilot took me for a spin, first time, he wanted to have fun as for me had to be helped leaving airplane. No joy as I remember. Next flights, no aerobatics, no problems.

Also, because audio's been a topic of conversation with AH and I was really impressed with the WWise sound here, recorded from a real Gypsy engine, I decided to toss together a quick video with sound inside and outside the plane so that people could hear for themselves what a great job Baz and team did here.


Really impressed so far; only got about a half-hour of flying in tonight, but it feels good and seems to maneuver very closely to what I've seen real Chipmunks do at airshows. And the cockpit looks great.

Not on my preferred download site yet.

Just flight.
Hopefully will be there after work.
 
Really great sound. Old times we started engine by hand, rotating propeller, magnets free, contact and a strong push. Had to be very careful. No explosive cartridge start...Going to buy this one, of course and hope someone will do a Portuguese skin.
 
The weekend is safe:applause:

One of the first - if not the first - addon I ever purchased for flightsim, that is FS2000 and it came in a box on CD, was this: Battle of Britain Memorial Flight and it off course featured the Chipmunk.

Ever since that day this aircraft is high on my list. Great to have it back in MSFS quality!!!
