Su26

[highness]

soo.. where is it??? why there haven't been even a word about it from Luthier ?

(lol, the extra300 in FSX is a joke ...)

[ATAG_Bliss]

lol you guys. In all seriousness though, Faucon deserves his Su26.

If you don't know anything about Faucon's team - The Virtual French Aerobats, I highly suggest watching this: http://vimeo.com/7454012

AND here's another team:

Faucon without his stunt plane is about the same feeling as us without our ammunition! These guys bring a whole new element to stunt and acrobatic flying. I'm hoping you guys get your plane one day, so you can make more videos

lol seeing a prop plane flying aerobatic routines meant for jets is quite funny (other than not realistic )

I'm sorry, but unlike you I'm not an armchair expert..

One thing is flying the formations like you see in the videos you posted, another is the video of the IL-2 aerobatics. Since you're an expert I'm sure that you've heard of concepts like propwash and turbulence, which aren't modelled in IL-2 (or better, they're in the code but not activated) and are massive on planes like the P-51.
A formation takeoff with P-51s like that of the IL-2 video is impossible to achieve, it's only stuff for jets. Let me show you what can happen in formation landings with taildraggers of that calibre..

Little arrogant, self-proclaimed experts like you should always check who they're measuring with before making comments on stuff they obviously don't know much about, if anything to avoid being humiliated with facts. Unbelievable..

Are you telling that propwash caused this accident? That's not what the FAA report proclaims in that concrete accident... did you read it?

The propwash is real, true, but it's also true that there are some ways of flying just out of it or minimise its effect:

Turbulences are not activated in the FM but propwash generated by one plane onto another is. At least OFFLINE IMHO

By the way I mentionned earlier the excellent Flight Unimited sim that had Propwash, turbulences, wind, rain, a finely tuned FM (for teh leagcy planes : Grop, Pits, SU26 ...) and a spectacular smooth full ATC never seen since anywhere else by myself.

That says a lot of what price we had to pay for nice graphics !

Pls Luthier if you ever happend to read this, bring us back to low polygons untextured world in your next patch !

I haven't said it's propwash that caused the accident, all I was pointing at are the risks related to operating warbirds in unnecessary risky manoeuvres like formation takeoffs and landings. Believe me, I've read the report again and again cos I'm friends with one of their crew chiefs.

The propwash is real, true, but it's also true that there are some ways of flying just out of it or minimise its effect:

Yeah, these guys are not pushing 1650HP on a four bladed propeller though, there's quite a difference.

MORON
Where did I ever said "I'm an expert"?

Your message ("lol seeing a prop plane flying aerobatic routines meant for jets is quite funny (other than not realistic)") was just too light to understand you were speaking about a specific thing (landing in formation with warbirds).
Next time, be clear, dumb shit.
