December 21, 20223 yr Amazing as it has only just been released. I am picking it up at that price, as it has good reviews. https://store.inibuilds.com/products/inibuilds-p-40f-warhawk-msfs EDIT: Was £9.59 with tax (VAT) - a bargain! They are doing a new offer every day up to Christmas Eve, but most won't be MSFS of course. Yesterday was Airbuses for the other sims.

December 21, 20223 yr I am not sure how it happens but occasionally I get updates on various flight simulator news on the bottom right hand corner of my PC desktop. This morning it advertised the IniBuilds P40 for 7.99 Euro today only. I am a big fan of the P40 so I went ahead and bit on it. I have another flight planned for this morning but later this afternoon I plan to take it up for a spin. BTW, what really turned me on to the P40 was the scene in Tora Tora Tora when the 2 P40's get airborne and managed to take out several Zero's before they finely got taken by them. Just a classic Hollywood shot you don't get now days! Hopefully we also get a Zero in MSFS as it is historically significant as well!
December 21, 20223 yr Nerd mode: on I notice one of the screenshots shows a Rolls Royce badge on the rocker cover, as far as I'm aware all production P40F had Packard built Merlins which wouldn't wear that badge. Nerd mode: off
December 21, 20223 yr Alright I'll bite for that price. Don't normally fly warbirds but I've been having a blast in VR with my other addons. | My Liveries | FAA ZMP | PPL ASEL | | Windows 11 | MSI Z690 Tomahawk | 12700K 4.7GHz | MSI RTX 4080 | 64GB 6000 MHz DDR5 | 500GB Samsung 860 Evo SSD | 2x 2TB Samsung 970 Evo M.2 | EVGA 850W Gold | Corsair 5000X | HP G2 (VR) / LG 27" 1440p |
December 21, 20223 yr I paid full price when it was released. Really love it. But doesn't have 'Jaws' music playing when going to outside view of that toothy nose! Like the real Warhawk it's easier to fly than some other warbirds. (The one in my Avatar is the old A2A FSX version). 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.

December 21, 20223 yr The P-40F Warhawk (Model 87B) was powered by a Packard V-1650-1 Merlin, a Rolls-Royce Merlin aircraft engine, produced under license in the United States by the Packard Motor Car Company and had a slightly shorter fuselage. A total of 699 were manufactured between January 1942 until August 1942. https://pacificwrecks.com/aircraft/p-40/tech.html 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.

December 22, 20223 yr Annoying I have to use yet another install manager, but too good of a deal to pass up. Love Warbirds!
December 22, 20223 yr Well worth having, especially at this price. Alan Bradbury Check out my youtube flight sim videos: Here
December 22, 20223 yr I did get it - hand flies really well actually. Somewhat basic but that's okay. Anyone know how to hide the EFB tablet? p401 by Ryan Butterworth, on Flickr | My Liveries | FAA ZMP | PPL ASEL | | Windows 11 | MSI Z690 Tomahawk | 12700K 4.7GHz | MSI RTX 4080 | 64GB 6000 MHz DDR5 | 500GB Samsung 860 Evo SSD | 2x 2TB Samsung 970 Evo M.2 | EVGA 850W Gold | Corsair 5000X | HP G2 (VR) / LG 27" 1440p |

December 22, 20223 yr I'm not expecting FlyingIron quality from the get go, but iniBuilds seem competent so I'm sure it'll be good and only get better. Look forward to trying it this evening.
December 22, 20223 yr Took it up for a quick spin burning some holiday stress out of RNO and around the Lake Tahoe area this evening. I thought it flew really nice and did not have any bad behaviors which from what I have heard would be accurate. It was a very easy plane to fly. In fact it was so rock solid I was able to get up and use the restroom and even in mild turbulence it was still holding steady. Its a tad slow for a World War 2 fighter but not crazy slow. Spool up that Merlin and it can really dance out there. It was not fast but had solid handling from its era. Overall it was a lot of fun and did an effective job of tickling my fancy for other World War 2 war birds. It won't be a daily flyer but definitely once a week burning off some stress as needed.

December 22, 20223 yr Author Some P-40F's had Roll built engines by the look of it. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Curtiss_P-40_Warhawk#/media/File:P40F_Merlin.JPG So maybe there was some overlap.
