flyultimate Posted August 2, 2014 Share Posted August 2, 2014 A little bit of weather today. Have to work around the really rough stuff and deal with the rest. But, she can handle it. First time using HDR lighting. Kind of dark, but I like the looks. Seems like the lighting brings out more detail in the clouds. I'm using REX 4 for the textures and the Prepar3d weather theme of "Building Storms". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RockStarofRust Posted August 2, 2014 Share Posted August 2, 2014 Oh yeah! The wife has popped out for a bit so I can look at P3D shots without impunity!!! Great set and choice of aircraft!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flyultimate Posted August 2, 2014 Author Share Posted August 2, 2014 Hello and thanks RockStarofRust. It's always great to get the chance to look at whats on the menu while the Little Lady isn't looking. But, take care and watch out for teasers such as "Warning: Naked Beauty!" The P-51 is just what the doctor ordered. A2A did an incredible job. Now, if I can just learn how to keep her straight going down the runway!

RockStarofRust Posted August 2, 2014 Share Posted August 2, 2014 Torque is a challenge indeed! Five or six degree right rudder and a little forward on the stick until the tail lifts! What do I know? Safe skies!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flyultimate Posted August 2, 2014 Author Share Posted August 2, 2014 Yes sir. I'm a "trike" guy. But, we'll get her. The last time I taxied a Cessna 170, I was a "three ring circus"! People actually were stopping along the side of the road and were watching. I was so busy, I couldn't tell if they were laughing though! Safe Skies...back at you.

Adam Banks Posted August 3, 2014 Share Posted August 3, 2014 Torque is a challenge indeed! Five or six degree right rudder and a little forward on the stick until the tail lifts!I thought it was the other way round - keep the stick slightly back (to keep the tailwheel in contact, helping to keep the aircraft straight) ... until it lifts of its own accord, when you may need to quickly apply rudder. Bah! What do I know though - armchair WWII pilot Adam. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ken Hall Posted August 3, 2014 Share Posted August 3, 2014 Awesome shots, not sure they got the trike guy reference, it uses billy cart steering, opposite to normal rudder, so yeh confusion plus. Cheers Ken Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flyultimate Posted August 3, 2014 Author Share Posted August 3, 2014 Thanks Adam and Ken. It takes a bit of aft elevator control, slow throttle input, pretty quick right rudder to about 5 or 6 degrees, and in my case.......a LOT of LUCK!! A great machine!
