AH DHC-1 Chipmunk release "imminent" and manual published

[YoYo 374]

Do you have an idea for this issue?

if you use custom view (so saved view by user in MSFS) you will be in the inside of pilot :). No this issue in default planes and the others which I have (the same issue was in Drifter of Ants Airplane but he solved it in one patch). Default view is too close for me to front panel so I must use the custom view. Btw. You can set 0 lb weight but this time you will see empty cockpit, even on external view, so its not solution for me. 😃

So my daughter got this up on the flight sim subreddit today and showed it to me. She thought it looked very cool. 

Btw I’ve no idea why she gets notifications from reddit flight sim as she’s not a flight sim fan.

As for me, just having bought the AH C140 it’ll be a while until my next airplane purchase. After all I need to have time to fly them all!

Ahhh...that’s more like it for a trip down memory lane.

For complete authenticity the front cockpit and face mask should give off a distinct whiff of rubber and vomit and the guy in the back will be a grumpy, middle aged, Polish bus driver and ex-Spitfire pilot.

Ha ha, flew em in the eighties when in the Cadets (I wont say ATC as it will confuse people), the Vomit was a definite presence, they made those who gushed forth clean up after themselves, but lots got missed

She does look pretty. Big question though is how does she fly?

For me ok, no issue here (but I was flying 4-6 times for now).

Pretty niche issue with the plane but because it uses non-standard pilot model you can't use it for towing the new Premium Version of the Discus glider

Actually, that is a big issue for me; we used to use Chippies to tow gliders at Husband's Bosworth glider centre in Leicestershire, so it would have been fun to replicate that.

I did my glider training there as well (many years back) which is exactly why I wanted to do that as well 🙂

In CIV version, both pilots are the same like default. Only military version has AH pilots.

Presumably on the Puchacz then? Which is another thing we need for MSFS; great little glider that thing is, possibly my favourite aeroplane of all time. If I could have a Chipmunk tow one of those things in MSFS, it would bring back a lot of memories of some fun times.

Yep the Puchacz. Towing them around with the ancient Massey Fergusson years before I actually had a driving license 🙂

So who has flown it?, if it flys sorta right I can forgive the awfull oversized wing detail

Ah yes, those old tractors with the hand throttles which had busted friction locks that made the throttle like an on/off switch! I remember them well. 🤣🚜
