SOH A2A P-51D Group Flight?

[Rezabrya]

I agree with you. I have recently got into multiplayer flying and I love it. I would love to have more flights with members of SOH using various planes and missions. A WW2 era bombing run one night, Modern day helicopter ops another. The possibilities are endless!

If you guys still want to fill the sky with a whole squadron, this is the most that I ever got up there:

and that was before I painted these:

I don't know how many blue nose repaints there are, but these are all of the 362nd FS, and there are others from the rest of the 357th FG..

For me personally it is not required that everybody flies a mustang from the same Squadron or fighter group. It looks very nice, but you can recognise each other easier if you haave a more unique paint.

just my 0,02$.

EDIT: For the route, we could do the route Steve Hinton did with glacier girl from the states to the UK. There was also a P-51 Joining i believe.

 

[Kiwikat]

I've got a good route in mind. I'm going to fly it when I wake up this afternoon. Should be able to post more about time requirements for those on a tight schedule.

 

[hews500d]

expect.

On another note:

SOH needs more fly-Ins and such. Everyone should download Piglets little acrobatic plane for a separate fly in sometime. Maybe make a regular SOH gamespy server every weekend at the same time and place. We could have a sticky for it updating what the plan is for the coming weekend, ie plane, flight plan...... I enjoy having a few beers and flying with fellow SOHians.

I couldn't agree more. Although I may not be able to make the P-51 flight I'd definitely like to see a few "virtual airshows" and fly-ins throughout the year. Maybe we could do a gathering of Corsairs with the A2A one sometime in the near future :ernae:

Hi Guys
I felt so envious of this, I just went off and purchased this bird at A2A

Is there an update for it that I can't see? Only I have big transparent edges around the VC gauges! I have posted at the A2A forum, but now see that posts are delayed while moderated. Seems a strange thing to do.

Also, I see from these WONDERFULL screenshots, there's plenty of repaints. Where are the bulk of them uploaded - here?

I thought the FSX-X P51 was good, but this a hoot to fly

Thanks

Looks great Jan
Are there any 487 sqn paints availible like Petie 2nd.
I nearly did download every HQ repaint for this P51 because I can't get enough of it , good work everyone

 

[IanP]

There's a Petie 2nd available, but it's not Hi Res (yet) - I'm using it for AI at Bodney (which now works!)

petie2ndp51.zip - unfortunately I got it from Avsim and there's no author's name in the Readme.

 

[Tweek]

I'd just like to recommend this little thing for anyone who regularly flies online/flies around AI traffic/uses FS Recorder to fly formations, or whatever else you might fancy involving other aircraft:

http://secure.simmarket.com/a-constable-traffic-sounds-fsx-extreme-edition-2009.phtml

There's a P-51 soundset in there, and a Spitfire (which is probably the better of the two, and still a Merlin engine). Get those sounds on the go, and your squadron of P-51s will sound a whole lot better than if you have default, stupidly quiet Cessna sounds!

Not sure if it's been brought up on here before, but for anyone who's missed it, it's certainly worth a purchase.

I am not speaking for Kiwikat but usually when we fly we use Teamspeak for talking. If you want to fly with us maybe you should download and install Teamspeak.

I've been trying to download Teamspeak, but have some very strange 'time-outs' from what appears to be their site.

Where should I be getting it from and is it freeware? Some places are charging for it.

Also, ANY info, suggestions or advice would be most welcome re online flying. Never tried it before.

Thanks muchley:ernae:

 

[Kiwikat]

Here's the link to teamspeak. http://teamspeak.netfire.com/releases/ts2_client_rc2_2032.exe

Never pay a dime for it. As for multiplayer in general, make sure you got a gamespy account. You can get one by clicking on the multiplayer tab in FSX. Registering for an account will be an option there. Then you can log into gamespy.

I'm still working on a server for all of us. The people I've been trying to contact haven't responded. I can't make a server due to my internet only being mid DSL. My servers always show a ping of -1.

Does anyone belong to a gamespy group or have a server we could use? I guess I haven't been asking the right people... :mixedsmi:

Also, those of you who haven't voted for a day yet, please do so. Thanks!

 

[Kiwikat]

There will be a practice tonight for a couple hours. Join the SOH server in the adventures room if you are interested. I'll give details on TS if you join.

oh brilliant, im glad i caught this thread just in time.
what are the numbers looking like? i can count myself in, and perhaps my friend also, thatll make 2 more bf-109s...

where is the server being held? perhaps a better question would be to ask in what country is it being held...

(im in western australia)

I'm expecting around 10 pilots to attend. It is possible we might have more. However, we have decided to limit it just to the P-51D. You could fly the Luftwaffe variant if you wanted, but it has to be a WOP II P-51D. It is going to be a D-Day memorial flight starting in England and finishing in France. It will be on June 28th at 1900 zulu. If you plan on attending, please show up an hour early so we can get everything going smoothly for the flight.

It isn't too late for anyone else who might want to join too.

 

[peter12213]

dissapointed to hear its p51's only, hope to have a luftwaffe fly soon!

 

[Shylock]

Peter you can prob fly a F-109 with these guys. But something tells me you would not last very long having a bunch of hungry Mustangs up there.

 

[j_peck13]

ach...well its all a bit unfortunate since i only have the 109 and the spitfire....

battle of britain anyone? ; )
