Apologies for the invites.......

Great Draux enjoyed that, the idea to create signal beacons along the runway was great too (me lying? - never!) May be one night we could use a Strike match to emulate P51's escorting B17's to their target and the other team flying BF's and FW's (at altitude though).

Pope you let me down mate, you didnt get me in

only joking mate, sounds like great fun though and something that takes skill. Im online tonight and will be up for flying anything if anyone is interested? SEE.... its been a while mate since i've taken to the air, im thinking you and pope might tear me a new one im rusty.

Would love to fly some friendly flying though on the wing of someone.

It's a pain. I fly with an Ace Edge and have to brake by using my guns, but in the B-17 I'm at the mercy of my momentum. Manston has the only strip long enough to land a bomber with no brakes on. Once stopped, the B-17 taxis better than most other planes because you can get it to pivot. Ill be over joyed when the patch hits and I finally get to experience landing with brakes.

The guy in the clip below was also flying with a stick (in the P51). But he was trying to switch from his stick to a regular controller so he could land with brakes. If you listen to what he saying right before he spins out, he knocked over his video camera when trying to make the switch. I've been spontaneously laughing about that one all day and feel I must share.

You don't need brakes for the P51 using a stick StarFOZ..........that vid is great Draux...I crashed just before that happened so missed it.

Hmm good call.


The P47 taxi's well once you get her down. Most others though are extremely sluggish and not to responsive

I might have to switch to the pad when flying "free flights"


In one now (sort of) and the FW190 is ridiculous i should of flown something more fun. Trying to form up on anyones wing just isnt happening either.
