That plane flies better than the one in the game.

I think I saw him enter a loop immediately after an Immlelman.   I'll have to try that in the game with the FM-2.

Just looking at it logically, not being wartime configuration might account for that?

Logic suggests he just made that up and didn't test it.

several hundred pounds saved from gun removal, comm equipment has also gotten smaller and lighter too
The real problem is anyone should feel like they can come to this forum and make a wish without being treated in a derogatory manner.  The only discussion should be centered around whether it would work, or how it would work and so on always in a respectful manner.

There must also be a flyable computer available for Nefarious to do FSO. So he doesn't keep talking about it for eight and a half hours on Friday night!

Saw alot of FM2's this evening 7/24   :devil Got several with my Wirb of death. Those dang things are tough to chew, took a lot of tenderizing to get through them :neener:

Very cool vid! Thanks for sharing!!

However,... am I the only one that wishes that there was a simple setting to keep from freezing the propellers on frame capture?  It's very distracting, to me, to see the propeller definition when knowing that in 'real time' they would be a blur. Just kills the realism when watching the recording.

Still, tho.. that was a nice demo.

Actually.........makes sense that it's a lot lighter.

The plane in game is remarkably close.

I can see this plane making a split S at low level in game but not the P47s I see doing it.
