OMG the end is near!

OMG!!!! THE END AS WE FAITHFUL 2k2 PILOTS IS NEAR...
NO NEW PLANES!!!!!!!!!!!!! EEEK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[QUIET_ORPHAN]

lol... um... ok??? anyways... it makes me sad

[Travis]

Don't worry.  I still see some aircraft created for FS2000.  And 2k4 has so many issues at the moment that many people (including myself) are sticking with 2k2.  I don't think its going to be obsolete till FS2006 has the bugs worked out.  A looooonnnggg time . . .

[QUIET_ORPHAN]

lol... Im being half sarcastic... but anyways... im wanting some high quality aerobatic plane.... any sudjestions?

[Travis]

Pitts S2S Bulldog.  I'm not sure but I think its right here at SimV.  Great flight dynamics, and it has a full VC which makes for great aerobatic flying.

[Travis]

I have that also, but I thought he wanted something that was designed with aerobatics in mind.  The -75 was made by the Nazi's during the war for combat manuevers.  A revolutionary design, and VERY, VERY fun to fly.

i have the pitts... cant get teh damn thing to fly... i put up the throttle it flips!!!! BASTARD!!!! tell me about having the pitts... lol

[RollerBall]

The Pitts in on the newest page!!
It is a whore to fly, but it's real, they are very
hard to fly!!

Wrong!!

And you couldn't be more so. All aerobatic aircraft have to be aerodynamically stable in order for the pilot to do what HE wants with them and not the other way round. The Pitts is DEFINITELY no exception. I've flown one - only once - but after a few demos by the owner who was very experienced at aerobatics I rolled even with hesitation after a few goes, flew inverted and looped the little bu**er even though I'd never done any aeros before. Then I landed it.

One of the most memorable experiences of my life I have to admit.

WHA????
has anyone here used the aeroworks concept V? it has a sweet effect to it (pyro display) but the dynamics are so messed up

Uuuuuhhhhh..........WRONG! I have also flown the Pitts and Aerobatic aircraft are inherently UNSTABLE. That is: they posess negative static stability . This is what allows the aircraft to be so nimble. The tradeoff is a roll rate like an F16. Look at the extreme dihedral on a Piper Cherokee. I used to take students(in the Cherokee)

Oh yeah, I'm too much of a "cheaparse" to but '04! Besides other than"better trees" and the Wright Flyer, it does'nt exactly "call to me!" Sorry, got off the original subject.

[OTTOL]

That's what I love about you man, always a source of great laughs!!

Off topic? I seem to remember a post about populating airfields with static aircraft turning into a discussion about skydiving.

[OTTOL]

LOL  :D

At the very least, it's entertaining.......what WAS the original subject anyway?

[packercolinl]

What subject?!?!?
