• There seems to be an up tick in Political commentary in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site we know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religiours commentary out of the fourms.

    If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.

    Please note any post refering to a politicion will be considered political even if it is intended to be humor. Our experience is these topics have a way of dividing the forums and causing deep resentment amoung members. It is a poison to the community. We apprciate compliance with the rules.

KI-43 Oscar. FSX Native. Freeware

Thanks mate ..... been looking for one of these for a while. Used to have one in either FS2000 or 2002.
 
Sweet!! Going to make good use of this very nice model. Thanks for the heads-up!

For some added inspiration, a very close reproduction (accurate/authentic airframe, American engine) is operated by the Tillamook Air Museum (in very similar markings, I might add) - so its not like it's an extinct type from today's skies:

What a great find! It feels very light to fly, just as you 'd expect. The handling is very crisp, making it great for tight, precise low-speed displays. Sound defaults to the FSX Mooney but I find the CH FW190A sounds suit it very well. The VC may be a bit sparse for some but it's perfectly serviceable. Taken all round this is a delight.
 
A bit unrelated, but I thought I'd add that fortunately the POF Zero (seen in the video above) won't be the last Sakae-powered example we'll ever hear - there is an original A6M3 in advanced restoration currently at Everett, Washington, which will be flown, powered too by an original Sakae engine completed by Vintage V-12's (meaning POF will no longer be able to state that theirs is the only one). Photos of this particular restoration, in progress, can be viewed here: https://www.facebook.com/#!/pages/Legend-Flyers/255443124472131?id=255443124472131&sk=photos_stream
