Captain Coffee 2,030 Posted January 3, 2016 Report Share Posted January 3, 2016 Something like my 4th or 5th landing in a new to me A2A P47D Thunderbolt...at KTVL. Great sounding plane. It really feels in the handling like this plane has the extra weight compared to their P40 and certainly their Spitfire. Need to figure out the booster and power settings. I don't think I am getting as much speed out of this as I could. I feel like I'm flying a Harley Davidson and wondering if a piston (or two) fell off ...but it sure Sounds awesome! Please note that I have replaced all the damaged runway lights, they will be working just fine should you fly into KTVL anytime soon...unless you are following shortly after me on an approach. Cheers. Link to post Share on other sites
UKJim 502 Posted January 3, 2016 Report Share Posted January 3, 2016 This looks fantastic - A2A are the best for old school fighters and GA imo. You will enjoy learning the 'quirks' that they always include in their planes. Link to post Share on other sites
Gunner 69 Posted January 3, 2016 Report Share Posted January 3, 2016 You are right, the sound its just great. And a great place to land. Link to post Share on other sites
Captain Coffee 2,030 Posted January 3, 2016 Author Report Share Posted January 3, 2016 Thanks guys. The A2A WWII birds are extremely satisfying to fly. Sounds, VC details, Easy on Framerates...all great...and yeah...the quirks. I finally opened up the checklist provided with the aircraft package, and found out where I dropped those missing cylinders, it was indeed unfamiliarity with the booster function...and fears of flying at over 40 mp...no worries, 42 continuous is normal, and 52 is max (57 emergency)...should get a bit more speed easily knowing that. I have been flying at cruise. Link to post Share on other sites
