May 22, 201214 yr That looks to me like the front of a jet engine. Which one or from what plane? Who knows. Only Microsoft of course - as usual. I hate these teasers. Why can`t they just come straight out with it and tell us what they have planned! However after having a closer look I think it`s the engine cowl and prop spinner of the Corsair
May 22, 201214 yr Yep, I'm over it. Just tell us, and don't even bother if it has no 'pit. Simmo W, Melbourne, Ozhttp://www.youtube.com/user/id5556
May 22, 201214 yr Author I kind of like the teasers, but I don't get how this can be a WWII airplane. It's clearly a turbine, but didn't the jets of the 40s have their turbine blades hidden quite deeply within the engines? And did the US have any jets at all during the war, let alone on Hawaii?
May 22, 201214 yr That looks to me like the front of a jet engine. Try downloading the image and brightening up the shadows. That looks like a head-on view of a radial engine.
May 22, 201214 yr Author Try downloading the image and brightening up the shadows. That looks like a head-on view of a radial engine. Hmf, you're right :-( It's probably just the nose of the Corsair with a spinning prop. Had my hopes up there...
May 22, 201214 yr Yep, Corsair for SURE!! Flying gliders since 1980 Flightsimming since 1992 AMD Ryzen 5600x, 32GB RAM, GPU Nvidia RTX 3060 Ti 8 GB, 1 TB and 500 GB nvme2 SSD drives, HP 27" 60Hz LED monitor @ 1920x1080, T16000, Hotas from old X52 Pro, Saitek Combat Rudder Pro (2010 model)
May 22, 201214 yr I hate these teasers. Why can`t they just come straight out with it and tell us what they have planned! I also am not too fond of those 'teasers'... I also wish they simply told us what they are up to indeed. It almost feels as if I am treated like a little kid... What's the fun of being teased about a warbird without a cockpit anyway... I don't know who is in charge of marketing and communications over there but they might consider hiring someone else for that job.
May 22, 201214 yr I don't know who is in charge of marketing and communications over there JAKE EYREIt's a small step from the sublime to the ridiculous...Napoleon Bonaparte
May 22, 201214 yr Meh, it's another toy plane without a cockpit. And yes, I find the teasers to be annoying too. Just give me Alaska and I'll (hopefully) be content. There's no place like this place, so this must be the place.
May 22, 201214 yr Yep, one glimpse at that teaser pic and the Corsair theory was confirmed. A round opening with something round in the middle doesn't make it a jet. And now I'm torn... Even cockpitless, this one will actually tempt me. Must... resist... stupidity...
May 22, 201214 yr And now I'm torn... Even cockpitless, this one will actually tempt me. Must... resist... stupidity... LOL Go with the flow and don't get too uptight and dogmatic about some virtual plane...
May 22, 201214 yr Nah, it's not just principles... it's the whole "voting with your dollars" thing... Every sale is somebody asking for more of these, from their point of view.
May 22, 201214 yr It's a Beaver! And what you can't see from the pic is that there are plain wheels, floats and tundra tyres included among the various schemes (as well as a cockpit)! And Alaska will be released in time for the end of Spring! No? Pity. (sorry... I'm trying to stay positive, but really....) Mike Dryden

After this much waiting, and the toy airplane disappointments, I'm really hoping Alaska turns out to be something special. I remain cautiously optimistic. There's no place like this place, so this must be the place.
