It's such an unusual and challenging way to enjoy the sim but it pays off. I must confess I haven't taken its smaller offspring up in MSFS2024 yet but I think P Gatcomb has already done a video on it which I need to check out.

Cheers, mate. :)

Cheers for the Shift C heads up, my friend. Yeah. Given the enormity of what everyone has set out to achieve, I really do have to take my hat off to what has been achieved so far.

Patience, mate. I know it's a hackneyed cliche but give it a week or so and see if the magic unfolds then.

Fantastic, mate! Thanks for the heads up.

Couldn't agree more! The whole 'plane on the compass turntable' thing on the ground is due to FSRealistic Pro's walkaround mode. When it was first released, it was sensational but subsequent updates have mucked up the ground positioning. I couldn't agree more. It reminds me of the Dave Garwood Hunter and B4Gunner's Navions when he first put them up on filightsim.to. I still can't get over the quality of this beast and the great liveries from the get-go.

Looks really cool. You need to get it to Duxford for the shows.😊 The only thing that is missing is the oil puddle at the parking spot.

The Rara Avis team knocked it out of the ball park wit this one. It's terrific.

@@flyingliar938 I also got the Velocity which I think you’d like. The Horton does have spoilers but you probably figured that out. I do like the autopilot so I can look at it on long trips.

Yes! The Velocity XL is another sweetheart. It's funny but I tend to keep coming back to this, the WACO, the DH83 Fox Moth and the Caproni Vizzola for my GA flying. I need to get back into a lot more of the stable like the Hughes H1, some of Sal1800's creations. So many great planes.

@@flyingliar938 there’s a point where I realized I’m going to be busy the rest of my life.

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Thanks, mate. I must admit I will hold off for a while. Not out of skepticism but just to allow the server strain settle a bit. Besides, I realised that I've got so many bloody Redwing 1935 add-ons, It'll break my heart of they don't all port across nicely. As for wallet saying NO, don't listen to it. It is an inanimate object which as but one objective and that is to hold your loose change and used bus tickets. It has no right giving out counsel and whispers. Pay no heed to the naysayers!!! ;)

You must find real life hard

Hmmm! Good point!

From memory, I purchased it through Simmarket, mate. It pretty much installed without issue from there.

In a simulator filled with greats, this remains one of the very best to me. A real love letter to arguably one of the strangest slices of history to hit the skies. A beautiful beastie.

Cheers, mate. I hope it put a smile on your dial.

Here you go, mate. www.a1r-db.com/#chiltonDW1A

@@flyingliar938 thk u sir

I must confess, I'd noodled with the thing for half an hour and then struck upon the idea of reading the pdf. I ain't as quick as I used to be sorting that stuff out. 😂😂

Nope, still can't start it 🫣

Darned good question! I think the projected speed was just over the 500 mph mark but in the sim, it clocks out at around 350-400. I'll have to take it for a quick spin to see what she does!

Will implement all of the above! cheers, mate. And yeah, it certainly is a keeper that puts you in the zone.

Grand advice. I've looked at the add-on linker in the past. I'll give it another crack. Cheers!

It's available over in the Sim Market, mate.

​@@flyingliar938 is it on xbox?

I couldn't tell you, my friend. I haven't owned a console since a 2002. Anyone out there know the answer to this one?

You too, mate. :)

Damn! Good point. I still enjoy burtling about in the Flight Replica Cub from time to time - especially when the wind's up and I feel like a challenge But yes, I've hear only good things about the new Cub. Thanks, mate!

@@flyingliar938 The good things you have heard about the Cub are all true, I can promise you that! This plane has heart, it has character, it feels alive, and it feels unique. Plus of course it's a vintage classic par excellence. I don't own the Flight Replica one to compare it to, but I've got quite a lot of planes and the CAS Cub is at the very, very top in regard to quality and enjoyment.

The cas cub is very good. They're working on a floats version too

It's only fair that I should bite the bullet and buy this puppy, then! Thanks, guys. Will the floatplane be a separate beasty or an upgrade for the existing one, does anyone know?

@@flyingliar938 To the best of my knowledge it'll be an upgrade for the existing one.

So many classic movies from that era. Fantomas, Danger Diabolique. Hell, even Modesty Blaise and shows like The Champions, The Prisoner and The Phantom Agents. Great shows and flicks, all!

Уже вижу его на земле в машине а в полете не вижу

Hmmm... Good question! You may need to reach out to the Redwing team to get an answer for that, my friend.

Now I'm thinking a jaunt in the Norseman's a fine idea!

Keeps me out of mischief, I guess. 🤣 🤣 🤣 Thanks for putting up with the rubbish I come out with!

@@flyingliar938 Love your videos! keep doing what you're doing!

Bloody critics. No getting rid of 'em. :P

Love you more, mate! So nyerr!

@@flyingliar938 if M was awake, she would say hi. You have to come visit. We can tour the memorial. Or go to some bogan pub.

😂🤣😂 I'm sure that's what Skorzeny or Speer or one of those katz called them, in a peevish moment, in their rinky dink biographies. And I respectfully have to disagree for the YB35 and YB49 comparison given that Northrop was obsessing over this layout from around 1927. His N-1M and N-9M emerged at around the same time as the Horten Brothers (and Lippish over at DFS, I suppose) designs.

Cheers, mate. It's an intoxicating drug is our beloved MSFS2020. Flying over your own house (or something that resembles it damned closely) in an obscure pre-war or wartime 'what if' aircraft is a surreal experience. Yeah. It's worth every solitary second I've wasted burtling about in it. :)

Cheers, mate. It's nice to be home again. :)

Oh gosh, that's a bummer. Actually, I'll rephrase that. Is it stuttering at 20 FPS or does it look okay. It may sound weird but the reason I ask is because I've seen a number of machines running in the low 20s, fps-wise, but still behaving beautifully and looking gorgeous. from all scenarios. I chalked it up to the GPU overall load but I may be wrong on that count. In candour, I very, very, very seldom check the FPS count, preferring instead to judge by overall behaviour.

@@flyingliar938 its very stuttery at 20 FPS , actually only redwing planes do that on my sim , constellation and this plane , unplayable , i have RTX 3060ti and only these planes do that , i can run Fenix A320 in new york at ultra settings , but not the F60

That is very strange! Did you get any feed back from the Redwing team at all?

@@flyingliar938 I didn't ask them , I thought they would fix it themselves in an update

This is insanely rich with tragic irony. Not just the incongruity of smoking under the hydrogen bags but also the strangely comical early 20th century Teutonic response to being allowed to smoke under the watchful eye of a steward posing effectively as a guard. Such a weird clash of mental images. Thanks for the feedback!

From my poodling around with it so far, it's more like being captain of a seagoing vessel. As the Rudderman/helmsperson, I use the mouse to change course via the compass or individually regulate the engine speeds via the four engine gondolas. I know it's just me, at this stage, but I honestly find it more rewarding to just use the Captain and Rudderman positions to do everything, while I go off and do some more exploring to see what other easter eggs I can come across.

@@flyingliar938 Thank you. Turning like a ship makes sense.

The Redwing New York city scenery, I think, mate. Part of their 1935 range up on the MSFS Marketplace. People rag on the 30X0 series Nvidia cards these days but my one still takes my breath away over scenes like this.

🤣🤣🤣 Mais ils ne sont pas américains, ils sont anglais., you krazy knnnnnnniggggghht.! (To mangle my Monty Python).

Fantastic feedback! Thanks, mate. Genuinely appreciated.

Honestly, these are all good questions that I don't think I can answer. Even in the hiatus between sims, I always built my PCs with the notion that they'd one day be devoted to X-Plane of MSFS or whatever. Frankly, though, I'd hold off upgrading the card until MSFS2024 rolls around and see what efficiencies the Asobo and Redwings teams make by that stage.

Unfortunately, the closest we came (at least here in Australia) was the Swan blimp in the late 80s. aeropedia.com.au/content/airship-industries-skyship-600/

Would be cool but more focus would be needed on protecting the hydrogen from lightning strikes, but yea we now have lots of modern lightweight non flammable materials that were not available back then and electric propulsion. Caribbean Tours would probably be more profitable compared trans Atlantic, a Blimp doesn’t require an airport so could land anywhere on those islands for daily excursions, like a flying cruise ship with views

@@ytzpilot electric propulsion? probably no clue of engineering. rather factual. Sir, what you even think?

@@MrTiti Propulsion - noun - the action of driving or pushing forwards. That is from Oxford Dictionary, doesn’t get any clearer than that

@@ytzpilotthe question is clearly about electric propulsion, but thanks for randomly efforting the Oxford dictionary

I blinking DID too! 😂 🤣

I'm not sure what the differences are with the Lite version FPS-wise. And I haven't tried out the new AutoFPS that everyone is raving about but I'll try them both over the Easter break. Also, the Redwings team, for the most part, do take in feedback from the community, so they may try run an optimisation update soon enough.

what is your cpu? mine is a 4770

Dev has made it clear that you need a powerful machine to run this due to all the custom behind the scenes stuff MSFS just doesn't support, and then there is size of the craft itself. Can use the 'lite' mode to improve FPS that has a few things, like the interiors, cut out.

Great feedback! Thanks, Gary. Yeah. The listing is odd but once I brought her into the headwind she behaved. I must confess I'm not sure if I was running the FSLTL or standard traffic yesterday and I don't do multi-player, as rule, so I genuinely appreciate the broader perspective.

I have tried using boats in FS and the wind problem affects those also.

I love the way that people develop things for the sim that I don't think the Asobo crew could have dreamed up in a million years. One of the truly great joys of the sim. I think the Rara Avis team are currently in beta with the Horten Ho 229. That will be fantastic.

😂🤣😂 🤣😂 🤣 Yep. Happens to the best of us from time to time. We've all been there.
