Rodger Pettichord Posted September 16, 2022 Share Posted September 16, 2022 Hi all. I'm an amateur historian (very) of WWII, and one of the things I've spent happy time with is the airplanes. My flight sim library includes all the major warplanes of Germany, USA, Britain, Italy, and Japan. Each of them is interesting to fly, especially in Orbx scenery at the various battle locations. And that leads to this week's topic. THIS WEEK'S MEANINGLESS TOPIC: of the following WWII warplanes, which have you flown in Orbx? 1. Supermarine Spitfire. (Britain) 2. Messerschmitt Bf 109. Germany) 3. North American P-51 Mustang. (USA) 4. Messerschmitt Bf 110. (Germany) 5. Hawker Hurricane. (Britain) 6. Republic P-47 Thunderbolt. (USA) 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sniper31 Posted September 16, 2022 Share Posted September 16, 2022 For me, #'s 1,3 and 6. But why is the vaunted B-17G not on this list I ask? 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good question, Sniper31. The list includes only the premier fighters from the European theater. If I included bombers, transports, recon, and spotters, the list would be too long and our short attention spans would run out . 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like Gumby, Wayne and Jack I'm not big on war birds. I,ve played with #3 (P-51 Mustang) a little, but haven't flown it much. But in a previous incarnation (FS 5.2) I did fly the B-17 out of Stewart AFB quite a bit. Years ago Microprose had a F-117 game (not by any means a simulator) which was fun.

TerribleT Posted September 17, 2022 Share Posted September 17, 2022 Operated them all in FSX with Orbx (and the myriad freeware campaign scenery addons adjusted to suit) my favourite of that lot was the Spits of which there were 2 excellent versions available with multitudinous variants and paints available. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adambar Posted September 17, 2022 Share Posted September 17, 2022 At one time all of them and like Karl my beer holder consists of a 12 pack and an empty seat with a brown bag full of assorted sandwiches and snacks. 1 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TuFun Posted September 18, 2022 Share Posted September 18, 2022 WarBirdSim P-51 was my favorite Mustang, but the A2A P-40 is my all time favorite that is the only WWII fighter still resides in P3D! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
