I have £45.54 burning a hole in my pocket...

The Cub feels much less slow when you're flying over excellent scenery like the ORBX products for example. I think it is going to push me over the edge to get Tongass very soon...

I'm having an absolute blast flying it in the Back Country Services VA. Anyone here who flies it regularly should check it out. It isn't a multiplayer thing, so those who don't like multiplayer don't have to worry about that. It is simply a VA based on the VAFS program.

Yep, I just put a blurb about BCS in my regular Fanboy Fridays blog post this morning - http://iblueyonder.wordpress.com/2009/09/25/fanboy-friday-rides-again/ . Loads of fun.
 
I finally broke down and got Tongassx. Wow. Simply amazing visuals :)
Then on the first flight after landing,I hit esc to pause it. Then when I tried to continue the flight. Hard crash requiring a reboot. :banghead:
I will fool with it later after supper.

Hmm, I've not heard of that problem with Tongass before. If it continues, please post to our support forum and one of us will get you fixed up.
 
letsgetrowdy, the Focke-Wulf would have been the best addition to your warbird collection. And believe me I know what I'm talking about :d

You had the choice between 65 and 1,700 hp and you have chosen to spend you money on 65 :isadizzy:. Well some people like to be modest ;)

Of course I'm biased, but nevertheless........

Cheers,
Huub
 
Oh well as tempting as the Focke-wulf was, I had to settle for accusim. Although I'm still looking at Classic Hangar's site longingly....

Accusim, who want Accusim? It causes wear to your engine, it causes malfunctioning of your aircraft and you have to have maintenance performed on your aircraft because of it.

What's wrong with a healthy, well auto-maintained engine :d. I guess you all love it when you have to bring your car to the garage.......

Now I have to :running:, before people start to take this serious ;) :d

Enjoy your Cub Rowdy! But remember to purchase the Butcherbird next time ;)

Huub

BTW the one below is free and very nice as well.

If you're into Accusim, then perhaps the Aerosoft Hughes H-1B might interest you? Not a warbird, but still vintage, as you specified at the start. You get a real sense of achievement if you get this one flying, with everything running as it should. In fact I'm yet to land the damn thing without crashing...

I think it's just about within your budget, still.
