If anyone has any good P38 films, I'd like to see those too.

I'd advice to use "search", there are zillions of good P-38 articles here already.

You'll need to go here to search I think.  http://www.hitechcreations.com/cgi-bin/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=search (http://www.hitechcreations.com/cgi-bin/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=search)

I have defenetly noticed that the 38 is not what it was in AW.  In AW I ocould outturn everything but a zeke, out loop anything but a zeke, and generally take anyone one on one, as long as it wasn't someone who was incredibly good.  What has Hi-Tech done to my baby?

Caps..

Hook up with Tac, Fester or any of the Twin Engine Devils.. They are a p38 Squad and can give ya a hand relearnig it. Think they fly for Bishops, but they may rotate countries each tour..


Dog out......

It's a better plane in here than it ever was in AW.  You can still pretty much do the same stuff you could do in AW like hammerheads, stall loops, double immels and even triple immels.  The only thing you can't do in AH that you used to be able to do in AW is out turn spits.  

I've started to gather up a pretty good film library again of some of my flights.  Got this one film sent to me by Leviathn that shows how to loop a P38 endlessly just using flaps. Send me a private message with your email and I'll send you that film and some others that I've made.

P-38 is a jack of all trades. It does alot of things pretty well but nothing exceptionaly well. The deal is to fiqure out what strengths to use vrs what planes.

 I'll turn vrs anything..engage anything even w/a disadvantage, but when I die I'm not surprised,lol. I'm still working on a way to knife fight w/spits...and so far it aint been pretty,lol.
