As you can tell from the picture in my sig I'll be getting this. I'm travelling now, but first on my list when I get back...

Yea, it looks nice but it's used. It has a lot of miles on it and I think they should sell it cheaper :mad:

 

They did a great job with the VC

Mmm I think you could simulate some really epic dogfights with this and excellent Mig-15 simulation from Bear Studios.

Got the plane and it is beautiful. There is a disproportionate tiny pilot figure which is stuck under the glass canopy when it is open. The pilot looks a dwarf lost in a huge plane.

well.. he's pretty thin from all the stress...

You do realize that real people come in different sizes, right? Perhaps were you to stand next to me you'd look like a dwarf too. Hradrani are very tall and wide folk you see... :Whistle:

Gosh, Bill - you would admit to being of the Hradrani?

 

Male hradani are subject to mad flares of violent anger, known as the Rage. Because of this, and because they served the dark, albeit unwillingly, during the Fall of Kontovar, they are generally hated and feared. After the Fall they fled to deserted areas and were generally reduced to barbarism.

 

:lol: This one might stick... :LMAO:

I only have about 30 minutes in it, but it is awesome. It's my favorite "old-school" military jet for FSX already.

Hi

Has any one tried this out in P3D. They say they are only offering FSX support at the moment.

 

Cheers Shaun

Actually, that;s NOT what I said. What I said was... we will offer help IF we can... and it does work. Some people (two so far) seem to be experiencing a CTD on exiting the flight but it went away after a reboot... (possible memory leak?)

 

Anyway... It is working in P3D.

Several weeks ago I installed one of the mid-beta versions into P3D without problems, and flew it around a bit to confirm that it did work.

 

I just installed the release build into my P3D (Developer's Edition) and test it out just fine as well. I did experience one CTD until I closed P3D, rebooted the computer, then loaded/unloaded and changed aircraft a half-dozen times without any further problems.

I was immediately struck by how small the pilot appeared when I saw the screen shots. But I guess we are not allowed to express our opinion, Father?

But, the "Rage" has been (mostly) cured now, thanks to Bahzell and Tomanâk's intervention, the which has allowed us to form the nascent Federation.

 

I'm currently reading David Weber's new entry into the story, "War Maid's Choice."

Of course you're allowed such. I never implied otherwise. However, the pilot is in fact filling the seat well, and is a measured six foot tall when stood upright (in Max of course).

 

Nonetheless, there are pilots who're anywhere from 5'6'' to 6'2' or thereabouts. Much taller and they wouldn't be able to get into the cockpit... :p0503:

The pilot figure in this otherwise MAGNIFICENT rendition of the ol' Sabre sits way too much 'squashed back' into his seat. Let me take a wild guess: the designer looked for a way to circumvent the fact that all F-86 pilots, no matter how tall or short they were, had to duck their heads in order to let the front canopy frame pass by during canopy closing/opening. :smile:

 

Otherwise :
