bernd1151 Posted May 19, 2019 Share Posted May 19, 2019 The Convair B58 Hustler always had a special place in my aviation heart, as she was one of the first Revell models I built as a kid and I’m glad that she flies in P3D v.4.5. This is the 2014 Glowingheat model. I have modified somewhat the VC, as it looked at least for me out of the box too FS9-ish Once airborne she picks up speed amazingly fast. So we will cover the distance in a heartbeat Over Edwards AFB Unfortunately she lacks speed brakes, so it takes an eternity to bring her down to a landing speed of around 220 knots She is a real beauty and the good thing is, so far she has only tried to kill me twice Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stillwater Posted May 19, 2019 Share Posted May 19, 2019 What a plane...! And - at least - Edwards has runways of sufficient lenghts for this machine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adam Banks Posted May 20, 2019 Share Posted May 20, 2019 Wow! Amazing screenshots of an incredible aircraft!!! By some strange coincidence, the Hustler was also one of the very first plastic kits my brother and I built when we were young. When we moved on to other kits and decided the B-58 needed to be retired, we placed a firework in each of the engines and whirled the kit around, tied to the end of a fishing line. A sad end to a fun kit, but we both thought "that was how it would have liked to have gone!" I've tried a few of the freeware Hustler's over the years, but none of them were really up to scratch. This payware version certainly looks way better, but I think I'd struggle to find the cash for what is now a pretty old add-on. Adam. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I bought the plane in 2016, if I remember correctly, and then mostly due to my fond memories. I haven't flown her too often, as I'm more into GA flying. But for some fast Mach 2 cross-country flying, she is excellent. And don't forget, even James (Jimmy) Stewart has once flown in the Hustler in rl. That gives an added reason to try her out more often 14 hours ago, Aussieflyer38 said: Great set Bernd.

I can remember, that it wasn't very easy to get those red marks onto the Hustler. You had to dipp them into water first, so that they got stuck to the plane, when dry, and if you didn't act fast enough putting them into the right place, you had messed it up 12 hours ago, adambar said: Great looking aircraft and shote Bernd!
