    I LOVED MY A2A P-47...but this is AMAZING!

    https://store.x-plane.org/P-47N-Thunderbolt_p_882.html




    The Republic P-47 Thunderbolt, nicknamed ‘The Jug’, was renowned by Allied Pilots as one of the best Fighter-Bombers of World War 2. The predecessor to the legendary A-10 Thunderbolt, the P-47N can dish out as much punishment as it could take, comfortable engaging both ground targets as well as engaging in air-to-air dogfighting at 30,000+ ft.


    Notorious for its large, heavy airframe, the P-47N is driven by the awesome power of the Pratt & Whitney 18 Cylinder R-2800-77 Double Wasp Radial Engine, capable of putting out 2800+ Horsepower and reaching altitudes of up to 43,000ft thanks to the ingenious supercharger design.


    The P-47N Model is the ultimate iteration of the Thunderbolt, featuring: Wings Lengthened by 18” and clipped to improve roll rate, Increased Combat Payload, Significantly increased flight range and a General Electric Autopilot System.

    I have been in a two-seater trainer version of a P-47 many years ago and this is as close as I have ever felt to the real thing...I have to admit though Scott and company did an incredible job of realism with the A2A version.

    Do you mean you have piloted real P-47s in real life ? If so => wow !

    That XPlane P47 looks awesome indeed. After reading the description above, I understand the plane is pretty close to the A2A Accusim P47 concerning the features and the engine behavior.
    Does it also "age" like the Accusim bird ? Or is it reset to factory-new for each flight ?
