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

Wiley.

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

Post by: APDrone on July 24, 2017, 11:26:19 PM: 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.

:salute

Post by: icepac on July 25, 2017, 08:45:01 AM: 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.
