Abrams over San Francisco

Postby Stratosaurus » Tue Jan 31, 2006 2:23 pm

Hello all: I recently discovered this little gem. Very nice vintage plane (almost for me ;D). And yes. VC incluided (but some spartan).

Enjoy.

That is one freaky looking bug. Thanks for the heads up. Don't know if I'd rush to download it, but each to his own.. :)

???Why? The plane flies ok on my comp.




Turn the engine off,with all that glass in the nose it should take a nosedive when power is lost

Ok but the 99,99% of planes that i knew taken a nose dive when the power is lost. Sooner or later.  Of course after the engine sttoping you try to land quikly as possible,  if not, gravity always wins. ;)

In the case of the Abrams Explorer, I stopped the engine, applied flaps, loose hight gradually and landed sucesfully. No dive.

Sorry for my non good english.

Cheers.

The Edgeley Optica now looks a completely un-original concept!
