VH-KDK Posted April 17, 2017 Share Posted April 17, 2017 The Helldiver is the plane of the moment......at the moment. I am very surprised though that Jack has not brought it. So I thought I would do this flight to try and convince him. with eleven good reasons 1. One- it is yellow. Waiting for landing traffic at Binghampton International NY State. 2. Two- it is yellow. Not far from the airport is Chenango Bridge. Under the port wing is Sunset Way where I stayed in 1958 for 6 weeks. I was so happy to find the house on GE street view several years ago, bringing back some happy memories. 3. Three-it is yellow. Looking back down the Chenango River at Port Dickinson and Binghampton. I can clearly remember fishing in the river an being told not to stand in the boat! Apparently the river is now polluted and the "new" freeway follows the river. 4. Four-it is yellow. Over Harpursville looking down the Susquehanna River towards Windsor. 5. Five-it is yellow. The Senator Warren M Anderson Expressway and the Susquehanna again at Nineva. 6. Six-it is yellow. Near Cobleskill and Mineral Springs decided to try out the air brakes. They do work, exciting stuff. 7. Seven-it is yellow. A spectacular road network approaching Albany. 8. Eight-it is yellow. Over Rotterdam and were heading for Schenectady Airport but elevation problems have lead us to divert to Albany International. 9. Nine- it is yellow. Over the Hudson River at Goat Island. The airport is central left. 10. Ten it is yellow. Just about to land at Verdoy. I have been to Albany but one of those many parts of the holiday I cannot remember. 11. Eleven-it is a magnificent radial carrier bomber from WW2(actually in RL it was cr*p). Top class sound set, the start up is brilliant. Plenty of detail in the cockpit, bomb bay, gunner/radio operator position Uncle Tom Cobbley and all. Buy it now from AH and you get the F3F thrown in. Most of all Jack because being a Navy plane most of the liveries are blue which is my favourite colour and I love blue aeroplanes! Just one final thing to remember, this is OLC NA, bloody fantastic isn't it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bernd1151 Posted April 17, 2017 Share Posted April 17, 2017 Martyn, you almost convinced me too. But then I had a look at my virtual WWII hangar and after I have seen nine fighter planes parked in there (American, British and German), I had second thoughts. And I don't like yellow fighter planes anyway Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jack Sawyer Posted April 17, 2017 Share Posted April 17, 2017 Martyn, is that a yellow Hellfighter I see in those shots? I see ten very good reasons to buy it. But as much as I like to with such limited amount of time to fly and a huge hangar of planes I seldom fly she may not get the air time she deserves. (Shhh, besides, I'm waiting for 64 bit.) Been having some VERY difficult personal times lately, extremely bad, so about all I can do is comment of other's excellent shots. Maybe today I'll get a chance to fly.

It comes in many shades of other colours and Jankees is also doing some great repaints to add to the variety. Damn, my powers of persuasion are slipping. 15 hours ago, Stillwater said: Buying is the one thing. Flying her like in #6 is the other. Great move!

And where exactly did you buy this Martyn? I might or might not get it. If I do I'll have to boot one of the other planes from my hangar. I was thinking of uninstalling A2A's Mustang because they don't support it for P3D and it's worse on takeoff than that darned GeeBee, that's why I never ever fly it. It's so squirrly as to be practically unflyable. I read about this yesterday at A2A's site. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great, I didn't realise there was a minor problem, i.e the flaps not working Although like a lot of us, I seldom read the manuals. Shall install now. I did try the flaps and sure enough I could hear them but not see them. This must be the Helldiver version for blind pilots, you can hear the animations but don't need to see them.
