My favorite race car, ever! A classic beauty.

The full flight dynamics of 2020 seems a bit of a mystery and would like to do some work but miss all the great tools that were available previously. Anybody have some current tool suggestions or...

I generally detest updates of any kind, like the one's (Popular fruit) brand slows down their phones with. Was gone in NZ for a month and as soon as I fired up the 2020 MSFS both the computer and...

Wah Hail: (a weather phenomenon)

Been gone from FS for a few years and finally banged down the bux for a setup that would run the new sim. Some things good, some not. Maybe flown it about 160...

Recently upgraded computer equipment and controls. I purchased the PMDG 737-900 and their DC6. Both excellent products though I am not enthused with the landing of the 737 in flare, but tuning my...

My fiancée has access to all sorts of cable stuff and a huge TV so we were able to watch a couple of episodes. When I return to Fairbanks I'll just have to wait for a while to try to somehow catch up...

It's been a long time but I don't recall the plane being heavy on the controls, one reason was the roll spoilers which gave a very active response without heaviness. One of the few planes where you...

Anyone had experience with the 2020 DHC-7? I flew it as Captain out in the Aleutian Islands for a year, could do some fabulous things (except go fast). I also did the flight dynamics for Milton...

Thanks for the info. Just got the new sim (and new computer) . Haven't tried seaplanes yet, anyone want to describe their experiences in water handling as yet? Skis are much better, I landed the...

As to Civil vrs military types being represented in the sim, there are simply many more Gen Av and Air Transport types out there in the real world as well. A lot of aircraft out there such as the...

A little disappointing, just the same old "you crashed" screen. Wonder what these looked like externally for something like a gear up landing where you probably won't totally destroy the aircraft. ...

Good luck!

My experience with beta testing in FSX was that everything was pretty set in stone and mostly they were not looking for anything but "bugs".

Wonder how the functionality of the shown 747-8 will be? I did get to fly the Dash-8F toward the end of my career. Quite a plane if not quite the skyrocket the 400 was.

Very interesting. Certainly an ambitious project. Aerodynamically very small items can greatly effect the overall performance and handling of an aircraft. This would seem to put a lot of demand on...

Hopefully helicopters will come along at some point, the world environment being shown would be very good for helicopter flying.

As far as P3D goes, I was involved in a particular Corsair...

Very minor aerodynamic changes in real aircraft can have big effects. For instance the detail of the filleting between the "car" and the wing of the P-38 made a huge difference in tailplane...

Very interesting. I expect that there may be some serious limitations here for those of us with more limited streaming capability available. The video is visually impressive, but I was disappointed...

Just as a note, few larger tail draggers had a steerable tailwheel. The DHC-3 Otter being an exception with (a rather troublesome) electric unit. Unfortunately most people do not have multiple...

Always great to see new and improved ships available! Interesting subject!

Good luck Pam!

Nice development, I had a couple of my fellow aviators who flew these. The Willy Fudd project was one of my favorites for Milton, these look like a great follow on aircraft!

The pilot house on an Essex is nearly the size and arrangement of that of a Fletcher Class destroyer, pretty small for a fair sized ship because of the narrowness of the island. . I see that you...

I might comment:

I did the original FDE for the Beaver and have done in real life maybe 2000 takeoff's and landings as one as PIC?

What could I possibly have known?

A couple of suggestions: Get a very sensitive joystick such as one of the hall effect models and also a good set of pedals. Usually whatever you use as a throttle will be used as a collective, this...

Good explanation! The thickness of the black sooty "smoke" is rather amazing. Today, or even since WWII not as a big a deal, but in the days of active and present submarine threat smoke on the...
