Blackbird Sims Mitsubishi A6M5 Released

I also have the Aeroplane Heaven Zero A6M5 for 2020 and it flies absolutely fine in MSFS 2024. I also have this Zero A6M5. Both are excellent. One thing, however, Neither have Kogi's captured Zero that the US Navy tested. Blackbird's US livery is completely wrong. Also, I do not like civilian pilots in the Blackbird Zero. I constructed a model of Kogi's Zero (sadly no photos, but I'll take care of that. AH's US Zero is not with out flaws in their livery either. They have the entire horizontal tailplanes painted white, the uppers were standard Sea Blue. Also the demarcation of the colors were soft, not hard line as in AH's.

My favorite WWII era replacement scenery is the Midway from 2020 which also works (mostly) in 2024. I use this to test fly my WWII fighters. Flying both the Corsair and the zero back to back I will say that both are amongst the best warbird flyers in 2024. Trimming, just as in the real aircraft, is very helpful. Especially with pitch trim, if out of trim, as with many 2024 aircraft, will want to bounce in pitch if out of trim. I have added a pitch trim axis to my throttle. What I wis was there was an available rudder trim axis in the sim. Without such a binding Axis n Ohs cannot accomplish this either. My throttle has an axis right on top that would be perfect for this. the Corsair is such a favorite aircraft I would love to see them re do a native 2024 version!
 
I would have prefered a period correct pilot and some liveries doesn't have a correct shade of green, other than that it's awesome.
Hopefully John will do some great liveries. :)
 
The Corsair has a period correct pilot but that is because it’s a 2020 made compatible. A cool feature would be to remove the O2 mask below 10000
 
Flying captured aircraft must has always been "fun". At the 1944 Test pilots conference there were several captured aircraft available to fly. Leroy Grumman (a legitimate test pilot in his own right) went to England and flew a FW 190. His reaction? "This is the plane we should have built". The result was the astounding Bearcat.
