Well done everybody, you've at last broken the Widow's Curse! Now what shall I shoot down first: He177? Me410? Ju-88? Decisions, decisions...
 
Thanks to th Masters for this one, I soon shall have my computers set back up, and will release the missions I have for this.
BRAVO!!
Very Grateful..:applause:
 
It's a very interesting aircraft, and Ted and Steve did a great job with the details. The spoilers linked to the ailerons and the flaps that have a spoiler component when fully deployed are very unique. And the VC is one of the best out there.

Thanks for the complement. The more I read about the WW2 planes the more amazed I am at what they were doing some 70 years ago. Linking the flaps and ailerons was a common practice on German planes and in some cases the horizontal stabilizers too. This plane was fun trying to get the ailerons and spoilers to work as they did. Steve did a great job on the pits (it took a bit of persuading but .....). It is a shame that the game engine limits what we can do. I wish FSX was a real shoot'm up sim like CFS3...the possibilities.

Off to another project......:santahat::santahat:

Thanks! What a great Christmas present! Can't wait to upload it.

This bird has been on the wish list for many people for a long time.... :santahat:
 
Well, what can be said? Each new release is a step forward and an improvement to CFS3. Many, many thanks to all involved, so many work behind these models.

Merry Christmas!!
 
WOWOWOWOWOWOWOW!

Wonderful airplane, well done all involved! I'm having a wonderful time just flying around.

Just a minor glitch I came across (P61A-1 in ETO):

TrickIR doesn't work with these planes (at least the mentioned above). Well, when starting the flight, it sometimes work; but after switching between cockpits, it doesn't.

FIX: in the following line within the .xdp change View="1" to View="0":

<Station Name="Pilot Gunsight view" Type="pilot_station" View="1" FovUp="28" FovDown="12">

voilà, TrackIR working again...

Other thing is that I can't switch to the turret control (F8)

Cheers
