Interesting video. I wish we had that level of realism with our AH B-17.
Um, on second thought maybe not. I would probably forget some setting and blow up the
turbos on takeoff.

There are only two simulations that I am aware of that uses anything that accurate. It would not be much fun to most people and the users would probably pretty much dry up around the main arena which is also why I think there isnt a whole lot of realistic failures programmed into the game. F4AF and FSX (A2A Simulations Stratocruiser w/ Accusim mod for instance: http://vodpod.com/watch/908311-a2a-stratocruiser-accusim-familiarization-parts-1-3) with mods are closer to reality but reality isnt that much fun to everyone. Thats why when you start chanting for missions and joiners the furballs continue because thats what some people want and not a long drawn out mission plan. Imagine what those one and two hour strat missions would be like if you had realistic fuel burn times and mission preparation and planning too. If you like that kind of thing there are other sims but please dont call for it here. I like to relax the little I can in AHII.

Yes thats right the Stratocruiser can outrun a P51 Mustang on distance hauls. Isnt that a hoot?

"Arthur Kennedy"

I didn't really know his name but I was sure he was a successful actor in Hollywood around those years. Thx for ID Chalenge.

I think so (switched). In part 3 they are still climbing and in 2 they are coming down.
