Hughes H-4 Hercules is Airborne Again!

Definitely not disappointed. Flight dynamics are really nice from liftoff, cruise and landing!  Textures are very good. Interior modelling is a plus right down to Howard's "lucky" felt hat. Sound package is very cool!

This product is literally made for us to jump in and have some fun while basking in some interesting aviation history. Obviously it only flew once at <100 ft ASL, we have no further performance data. Don't overthink it and either have fun with it or ignore it!

So lets ignore MSFS is trying to be a real simulator  and chime in fake fantasy planes to the RW. Ignore what fake flying?

I...can tell this is not a road I'm going to enjoy going down. You do you.

I enjoy planes that simulate closely to the real counterpart this plane does not apply.

Looks beautiful! Can't wait to jump into it and cruise around a bit this weekend. Ain't life grand?

Why are you saying the H.4 was a fake fantasy aircraft ?

Surely not everybody was kung fu fighting.

Just flew it and in the rain the rain textures on the wind screen seem odd. Anyone else confirm? Running with the 522.25 drivers see sig for full specs.

How much did it flew in the real world? Maybe 200 feet over water.

Luckily, MSFS has several planes that are simulated as close to real life as any other platform. I bet you're real fun at parties.

Yes I am fun in real life and not fake airframes. None of these airplanes will give me a headache.

Maybe you someday discover that a Simulator is for to flight experimental ones too, and the real planes nowadays usually flight first in simulators than in the real live.

 

Great plane internally and externally, a pity she didn´t flew more and was produced a commercial version. Looking all that historic aircraft made me feel a bit of nostalgy during some moments, and even the planes of FSX and those beginnings flying in FSX in those times.
