Jack Sawyer Posted April 20, 2017 Share Posted April 20, 2017 Flew the Helldiver around KSAN with my shiny new AI program, quite pleased with it! P3D 3.4 - Adam's PTA 21_11 - AS16 on. - Orbx Global - Trees - SCA - KSAN Had fun. Excuse me, I'm in a rush. I Tok off before you hoo, na na na na! Wish I could land there someday in this Orbx. Can they "Harden" it somehow? My destination, but going to approach from the other side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Paul! Yes, it's quite the plane and thanks for your compliments on my landing. It was a bit heavy landing but the pilots walked away. 1 hour ago, stewart1 said: nice shots Jack you had loads of fun hope you are feeling better regards stewart Thanks Stewart!

Cheers John Looks like I'll have to redouble my efforts to repaint all my planes yellow, just kidding. Glad you liked it John. I like this livery because I thought it "might" have been assigned to one of the carriers at KSAN. Martyn would know better than me and I didn't have time to research.

flyingleaf Posted April 21, 2017 Share Posted April 21, 2017 Very nice Jack. Great shots. Stay healthy and chin up. I heard the other day that there are more planes at the bottom of the ocean that submarines in the sky. Hmmmmm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can believe there are more planes at the bottom of the ocean, and I don't know how it is where you live, but where I live there's so many submarines in the sky above my house that the sky's lousy with 'em!

paulb Posted April 21, 2017 Share Posted April 21, 2017 Just thinking Jack................You should be able to get an ai carrier and park it wherever you want. You can then practice TO and landings wherever! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VH-KDK Posted April 21, 2017 Share Posted April 21, 2017 Ripper of a set Jack and isn't is great fun playing with the AI traffic. The Helldiver depicted here was part of the VMSB-244 which originally operated the Dauntless. They changed to the Helldiver in October 42 and left San Diego in Jan 43 for Midway. They fought in the Bougainville and Philippine Campaigns. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did it only once in a mission in FSX Acceleration in the F-18, it took me days to finally get it right. Back then I had a poor PC and little hardware but it sure was fun. But the carrier wasn't there to land on outside the mission in I remember correctly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Sammy, I see a lot of guys who say the Beast is ugly, it's not bad looking to me actually. It may be aviation's ugly duckling but she flys well and despite being sluggish in turns (you can almost feel all that mass) she's not a bad plane to fly.
