April 25, 201214 yr P-40 Famous for its "shark mouth" paint jobs, the P-40 was one of the most popular Allied fighter planes in WWII. This classic aircraft's agility makes it ideal for tests of maneuverability such as collecting Aerocaches. The version in Microsoft Flight is the P-40B, with a 1000 HP in-line V-12 engine and a top speed of over 300 knots. No Cockpit view is included. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________ https://microsoftfli.../marketplace/#5 Ramón.

April 25, 201214 yr Something about that texturing isn't digesting with me. It looks copper plated. Perhaps its the angle..

April 25, 201214 yr I know this has been said ad nauseum already, but: How different can the P-51, Zero and P-40 be when flown from a chase camera view? I'd be interested to know how many of these planes MS are selling... Gareth Howell Cheshire (UK)

April 25, 201214 yr I am a little amused that MS releases again a cockpitless warbird, actively knowing, by more than 200 posts of there customers, that almost nobody is interested in any cockpitless plane and also the majority is not interested in warbirds. At least not if you cannot use the guns. So i beg all of you not to buy as money seems to be the only thing that counts. The more as you need not to buy the plane to watch it flying from the outside. You can just follow some other Multiplayer dude who bought it. Than i even do not have to mess around with steering ;-) Nevertheless I love Flight, the RV6 the Maule and the Stearman. The weather and graphics are just awesome. So much more fun than any other sim. And i hope that the guy responsible for developing cockpitless warbirds will retire soon, or will be moved to the Alaska dev team.
April 25, 201214 yr Not surprised considering it does not have a VC. I've stopped playing MS Flight now, i'm more immersed with my Carenado 337 and Orbx sceneries. What the ###### did you just ######ing say about me, you little ######? I’ll have you know I graduated top of my class in the Navy Seals, and I’ve been involved in numerous secret raids on Al-Quaeda, and I have over 300 confirmed kills. I am trained in gorilla warfare and I’m the top sniper in the entire US armed forces. You are nothing to me but just another target. I will wipe you the ###### out with precision the likes of which has never been seen before on this Earth, mark my ######ing words. You think you can get away with saying that ###### to me over the Internet? Think again, ######. As we speak I am contacting my secret network of spies across the USA and your IP is being traced right now so you better prepare for the storm, maggot. The storm that wipes out the pathetic little thing you call your life. You’re ######ing dead, kid. I can be anywhere, anytime, and I can kill you in over seven hundred ways, and that’s just with my bare hands. Not only am I extensively trained in unarmed combat, but I have access to the entire arsenal of the United States Marine Corps and I will use it to its full extent to wipe your miserable &@($* off the face of the continent, you little ######. If only you could have known what unholy retribution your little “clever” comment was about to bring down upon you, maybe you would have held your ######ing tongue. But you couldn’t, you didn’t, and now you’re paying the price, you goddamn idiot. I will ###### fury all over you and you will drown in it. You’re ######ing dead, kiddo.
April 25, 201214 yr How different can the P-51, Zero and P-40 be when flown from a chase camera view? I'd be interested to know how many of these planes MS are selling... Is it not much the same thing with multiple 'samey' cars in Forza, say? I'm pretty sure my sons used to prefer to 'drive' cars from the exterior view anyway - was never my thing, but we might actually be surprised at the preferences of the masses. Assuming like many above that cockpitless = Fail might not be accurate. And assuming that 'not buying' by the niche 'sim fans' will change anything may be misguided... Roll on Alaska and a decent plane you can fly from inside...
April 25, 201214 yr Author Roll on Alaska and a decent plane you can fly from inside... +1 In the meantime, I’ll enjoy Flight with what I have. Ramón. Time, is the one thing no one can buy.

April 25, 201214 yr indeed w/o a cockpit. too sad. I am stuck at my 180hrs flight time these weeks as I do still fly occasionally in flight but I REALLY need something new. and no, no cockpitless tail dragger warplanes.only good thing about it: ms must have fully exhausted now the possible war bird range for the next 6 months or so, so I am happy to see some REAL aircraft with cockpits soon .or hey, just make the autopilot work in the maule or rv and I am happy, too. I am just afraid that all these 'monthly planes' will be some fun planes w/o cockpit as the short history shows because they are rather easy to accomplish, and I am also afraid these will be all sort of warplanes as I cannot imagine how flying in a cockpitless beech or kingair would be any fun. too sad.
