Screenshots (FS2024)

That works both ways. Your T-6 repaints have got me interested in flying the T-6. I was already planning on making the new Zero my first MSFS2024 aircraft purchase, but your work on that one doubled down on that purchase. :)

Some more screenshots of Chino's resident A6M5 Zeke. I love starting this thing - hand-rotate the prop to cycle the oil, build up fuel pressure with the wobble pump, a few strokes of primer (you can also pump the throttle to prime the carburetor instead), begin the inertia starter cranking, keep the fuel pressure up, turn the mags on and engage the starter, hit the ignition boost switch and maybe pump up the fuel pressure some more to keep it going - quite a lot of fun to be required to do all of that (it helps if you have three hands!). Standard power settings for the Nakajima Sakae 31 engine are - Takeoff: +25 cm MP/2750 RPM (I only use +12) - Max Continuous: +22 cm MP/2500 RPM - Max Cruise: 0 cm MP/2400 RPM (I use this for climb) - Normal Cruise: -12 cm MP/2100 RPM - Economy Cruise: -30 cm/2000 RPM.

Something I recently learned - when Japan began painting their Zeros in this dark green camouflage scheme in 1943, it led to a flurry of combat reports by Allied pilots claiming they saw Zeros painted black. Freshly-painted IJN dark green Zeros were very dark, and glossy, from the factory, but that quickly changed as the paint was exposed to the elements in the South Pacific, including turning brown.

BTW, some of the Yosemite textures have changed with the latest SP3 update. I've let Cli4F know aobut it. Half Dome and El Capitan no longer have his texture changes and appear to be back to the Asobo default. There may be other things missing.
 
I love the way this simulator is becoming more than flying from A to B. You can now walk around and explore your destination. It opens up a whole range of possibilities.

Reliving the days when the Texas Flying Legends Museum was still around, and it was common to see these two aircraft (N8280K and N209TW), along with several other WWII warbirds, performing together at airshows across the US, and even down to the islands of St. Martin and St. Barts.
