Fighting for us?

Postby Crumbso » Sun Jul 13, 2003 6:53 pm

I have often wondered what it would be like to pilot a high performance aircraft. Through the medium of flightsim I may get an inkling of that thrill though few models have actually convinced me.

I downloaded recently the finished DSB EFA and in some respects was very impressed. I was surviving on a beta that I was givien before, when I was working on the project. I must say that the flight dynamics and the model had me convinced and I am still happily flying the EFA. There was though one thing that annoyed me. The sounds! I don't know about you but they seem to lack the effort that Mr. Hambleys usual projects have. They don't sound like a powerful and huge engine that pushes this heavy aircraft through the air. Anyway those are my thoughts on this otherwise wonderful aircraft.

P.S It seems to be the only aircraft I know in FS that can do a cobra, (see shot 4 and look at the vapour trails. I managed to recover fully from this manuaver as well.)

Nice A/B's

Image
Everything that should move, does.

Image
A nice amount of power, but not too much. Which I like!

Image
The infamous cobra move. Whether or not it would be used in battle is debatable but still nice all the same.

Image
I like shiny things!

Image
Landings are easy enough and the stall is not too violent.

Image
Surprisingly short takeoff run but I noticed this at Farnborough the real bird gets off the ground REAL quick aswell.

Image
Low level flight is fun.

Image
So is high level.

Image
Night time is also fun.

All in all a nice package.

There is a MiG-29 that can do an awesome cobra. Its the only GMAX one I think.

You are absolutely right Erik. Someone posted some shots of this here a while back, I can't remember who though, sorry.
Nice pics of the Typhoon though. I like the Tiger paintjob best myself.

Ozzy ;D

There are two types of aeroplane, Spitfires and everything else that wishes it was a Spitfire!

I like the last pic!!! Never seen that 'Cobra-move' before, but a very nice thing. I'll load my FS up right away and test it!!!!  ;D
A commercial aircraft is a vehicle capable of supporting itself aerodynamically and economically at the same time.

Thanks I fit all the variations on paint jobs into the pics but I know there are some packs out there that provide more.
