What I really like about TE Washington, (& Oregon), is there is the opportunity to compose shots with interesting skylines , [ie mountains or mountain ranges]. I think this adds to the visual impact.

TTM What amazes me is the photoreal and suspension of disbelief. And XP is very smooth on my PC. So this is what I like to do, I turn off all the lights and sit in front of that huge screen and I'm there, the sensation is amazing. Now I've never seen a sim in VR but I have a feeling that if I did I'd be living in virtual reality all the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're as docile as anything in the sim Don’t have the patience to land tail draggers. I know you and a lot of guys like them but I much prefer more modern tricycle gear aircraft. I’m not even going to waste my time even trying anymore. To each his own. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Landing a DC3 'three point' would be a challenge for most pilots. Just roll it on the mains after a slight level off. As you sense contact, apply forward elevator pressure to keep the mains stuck to the runway. Be sure your tailwheel was locked on the landing check and as you decelerate let it slowly contact the ground - keep it straight and unlock the tail for taxi.

Good advice as it is, I came up in the modern era. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
