Found this you tube vid, the closest any of us will get to flying a real 190.  Crank it up.

I must say the terrain looked very cartoonish, not realistic at all. Very hard to determine the altitude even during landing.  :furious



Or, might it be that AH looks quite realistic after all?  :rock

I watched it few times, once I found myself moving my head around as if my track IR would let me look out over the wing. LOL.

Yes it is.  I have that one and the New Guinea one from 99.  Since Warbirds was a Hitech game at that time and the predecessor to this game I thought it was appropriate.

If the Aces High Focke Wulf is accurate, the camera facing backwards is the correct direction since the tail is always aimed at the enemy anyway.   :lol

Must be a fake video, you cannot shoot a B17 from 6 position without your airplane exploding.
