Hi,

Can someone tell me if the new planes available for purchase have cockpits?
I really like this sim!
Best,
Neal

Yes, the P-47 has a cockpit.. But I am not sure about the other one. I flew it once and didnt like it.. But I love the P-47 even though it flys like a school bus..

You comment looks like you responded to my original post. But, I changed it, because I was wrong. i was thinking about another plane. But, the P-47 DOES have a cockpit..

So can we expect the P-51D to have the proper cockpit in the update? I think I read somewhere that the flight model for the P-51 was being updated.

The flight model is fine. They are adjusting the default fuel amount, as the plane handles like crap with a full fuel load.

I tried flying the P-51 around for on full throttle for as long as I could on one of the single missions, and after 40 minutes (I got bored) the fuel load had gone down a quarter/a third. This made the plane handle so much better.

hope ps3 gets extra plane because we have ta152 already. but 5 dollars is ok for P-47, and mission: Bastogne.

it would be nice to have 25, 50, 75, 100% options for fuel loadout on all planes

Certainly would.

This and an online starting altitude option would make every single fighter worth using in one context or another.

1000 metre start? Bring out those Spitfires and La-5s.
5000 metres? Suddenly the FW-190 and Mustang become the main players.

Good. Let's get the proper cockpit for the P-51D.

i can vouch for that, i encountered a ta-152 at high altitudes and got torn to shreds.

some hosts try to encourage high altitude flying by making the weather stormy below the coulds, but everyone just hides below the clouds, and when you dive down in your fw-190, you just smack into the ground every time since the fw must also have gotten the same treatment as the mustang

so hopefully they will decrease the fuel load in in the fw and ta series along with the mustang so we can also enjoy these planes at lower altitudes.
