May 2, 20224 yr Nvidia driver mod having upped my fps, tonight flying the drop dead gorgeous Waco! I cheat a bit by making the pilot 305 pounds and putting a 25 pound suitcase up front. (You have to do this in the hangar before going to FLY. It can't be done in this plane in the handlebar). And like with warbirds, I use assisted takeoff in the MSFS options. Until MSFS makes realistic tail drag physics I am forced to do that with over powered tail draggers. Carenado put in a larger engine than most Wacos. So it's squirrely on the runway like a warbird. I never do any of this with trike gears no matter how powerful. I think it's Carenado's most handsome plane. I fly with seat scooted back so I can see the rear view mirrors and a larger windscreen view. 5800X3D, RTX4070, 600 Watt, one or two 1440p 32" screens, 64 GB RAM, 4 TB PCle 3 NVMe, Warthog throttle, VKB NXT EVO stick, Honeycomb Alpha yoke, CH quad, 3 Logitech panels, 2 StreamDecks, Desktop Aviator Trim Panel.

May 2, 20224 yr The idea to use the assisted ruddder for these birds is a good advice. 👍 I have the P40 something and I have no rudder pedals. I will try this advice, because right now I never fly it because I crash too much when taking off 😕 my African sceneries for MSFS : https://darshonaut.blogspot.com/p/msfs-2020.html

May 2, 20224 yr I flew the Waco on Friday, I was exploring old US Airmail routes. It will try to kill you, lol. The Waco paints by Jan Kees Blom are very nice. Really like his work. https://flightsim.to/file/6691/waco-ymf-5-nr46m-us-mail https://flightsim.to/file/28404/waco-ymf-5-in-dark-green https://flightsim.to/file/6692/waco-ymf-5-nc809n-texaco
