Gee Bee R3 Special launching

YoYo

SOH-CM-2023
So Today, not ready yet as I see but not the end of Today yet :loyal:.

Maybe good model for this incoming DLC - Reno Air Races.

Btw. I was thought that it is a fictional plane (something what I don't like), but it actually existed, but.... as RC model only :sentimental:, although the authors also added a little more from themselves here, so the plane "just for fun and fly".

It's SOOO much fun. Amazing flight model. Super fun to fly. Multi-colored smoke that works in multiplayer!
 
After deleting the browser's cache I was able to purchase. First impressions after one flight. What a fun aircraft to fly! Power of a 1960's muscle car to take you up up and away. Speed brakes are great for cutting speed while landing. Cockpit seems tiny in VR. No way, that I could find, to open the canopy.:banghead: COME ON PEOPLE! It can't be THAT hard to code a canopy that opens and closes. I am one who likes to taxi in, park, and shut down. I want to be able to get out of the plane afterwards.

There's a special model for VR that fixes the cockpit scaling -- check out the liveries list. There's also a section in the manual about that.

Canopy open/closing is coming in the first update. (Not sure "Day One" means what they think it means. :) )
