X-Plane Screenshots

P-40 e/f wip

Then again a turning fight in a 109 is always in invitation to that.

Are you planning on doing other P-40 models as well?

Slow and easy does it.

Save for the horrendous fuel consumption at low level, I found the 162 not really difficult to fly when enough common sense was applied.

At the moment, I am concentrating on getting a high quality model of a P-40 E and a P-40 F. Once that is done, I will look at other variants, most probably a P-40 N. First things first. There is a long way to go on the P-40 E. I have most of the main gear modeled correctly but even that job is not finished as we speak. I still have to get in and do a good job on the 3-D cockpit. Then there are the high quality paints - not started yet.

The 162 looks like fun and frustrating at the same time.

Rome wasn't build in a day. Take your time.

On my last flight, I ran out of fuel on final and crashed into a lake because that thing doesn't glide. So yes, it's a bit of an adventure.
 
I think we maybe closing in on a RLC. Lots of tweaking going on. This week added a Mae West life Vest to the pilot figure.
lot of corrections to artwork etc. Here are More paints... RAF, Dutch, USN and Fin. I've edited the screenshots to obscure the Swastikas on the Finnish paint. The
historically accurate insignias will be present, but I will also ask Dom to provide an alternative for those not wanting them.

This was only my fourth flight in this wonderful airplane from VSkylabs. Other times, the main gear collapsed, or the engine caught fire (or a combination of the two for the second flight). This He-162 will eat your lunch if you don't fly it "by the book".

Modern Roundels available on the Finnish paint as an option now. Requires renaming the textures.

Try landing at about 200 km/h with the power on and only use slow throttle movements.
 
Soon hopefully. I hope you'll enjoy using it as much as I have. Dom's done a great job of bringing this to XP11.
