Great to see Flying Iron still active with these recent updates - I was starting to worry. The F6F gets little flight time with me because it's always felt a tad sluggish, so exploring this update will be very interesting. Being British, I should be saying the Spitfire IX gets the most hours, but the P-38 is my guilty secret. ;)
 
Pulled the Hellcat out for a dust off and these improvements by F.I. are a joy to experience. The rasp of that big radial hasn't been messed with and the handling is definitely improved in the landing regimen. Hats off to Flying Iron for keeping this beauty updated. Can't wait until their next release.
 
They’re currently redoing their Spitfire, they’ve also posted renders of a B-17 and Hawker Hunter in the past although I’ve no idea what the current status is on those projects.
 
Kind of getting topic creep here, let's get it back on point. I suggest opening a new thread on "Flying Iron Aircraft Development(s)" or something similar. Thanks.
 
It wouldn't bee the Outhouse if someone didn't shout "SQUIRREL!" and take a thread around a sharp left turn now and then! :dizzy: But as long as it drifts back to the original topic, it's all good. We're not that strict about that here.
