Harvard over the Sussex Coast

[D0S]

I recently purchased the Reno Air Races base pack expansion purely for the aircraft models, so that I could get myself the T-6 Texan (aka Harvard in the Commonwealth) and start downloading the 3rd party repaints that have been popping up on flightsim.to.

 

This morning I took an ex Royal Canadian Air Force example on a morning sortie along the Sussex coastline, from Orbx's beautiful Shoreham (EGKA) overhead the new photogrammetry areas of Brighton and Eastbourne that came with World Update 7, then back inland along the South Downs to the River Adur, which leads back to the airfield.

 

Enjoy the shots, there’s quite a few of them!

Great shots indeed. Beautiful area and a nice bird to fly with.

Terrific shots mate !! .

Nice, crisp and colorful shots. You have the detail settings dialed in very nicely, showing off the scenery in these shots very well!

Beautifully taken shots and so crisp and clear!

That bird looks superb. I'm thinking of buying that package too for the very same reason. How does she fly, Andy?

Thanks for the kind words guys. My experience is similar to what IntoTheBlue discovered on the review @Fizzelleshared the link to. Beautiful visual model, superb sound kit (kept having to turn my speakers down due to the roar of the prop!), but flight model is somewhat lacking. It feels very overpowered for the size/power of the aircraft class, and can also be flown with relative stability at 60mph which is below the published stall speed in landing configuration!

 

There are some good tips on landing technique, along with correct speeds to use and videos examples from another RW operator here: https://www.t6harvard.com/pilot-stories/t-6-landings-by-a-goodall/

Thanks Andy. So we can expect some mods soon over on flightsim.to I hope, in case the plane is not encrypted.

Andy I love the shots.  The aircraft fits so well there.   I have to say I love looking at the European airfields for you can tell the difference with subtle touches that they are not in the United States where I am.  Very well done.
