[FSX] Barnstorming Aerobatics in the Alabeo Waco

Classic Barnstorming in a classic barnstormer, at a classic barnstorming location. Scenery is Streatham Farm, part of the Barnstormers scenery package from Return to Misty Moorings.

I've noticed most of the aerobatic vids in FSX are very theatrical. They're entertaining and quite well done, but they don't give you a great idea of what it's like to do that flying in real life. I have several hundred hours in a Stearman in real life, and I've flown and taught these maneuvers countless times, and I wanted to make a video that gives a sense of what it's actually like. This video is divided into several parts:
1. Takeoff w/ barrel roll - pilot perspective
2. Takeoff w/barrel roll - spectator perspective
3. Aerobatic sequence - pilot perspective
4. Aerobatic sequence - spectator perspective
5. Aerobatic sequence - from a couple outside perspectives (my token nod to theatrics ;-) )
6. Slip to landing - pilot perspective
7 Slip to landing - spectator perspective
The acro from the pilot perspective is probably most interesting - it's the viewpoints the actual pilot would be using to maintain orientation while flying these maneuvers. IE, if I strapped a gopro to my head and flew this in the real plane, this is what it would look like.
A quick PS about the Alabeo Waco: it rocks. I've seen comments suggesting its flight model isn't so good, and I strongly disagree. I grabbed the Vertigo Studios Stearman hoping for some nostalgia and was SORELY disappointed; that thing doesn't feel a thing like a big 'ol dirty biplane. This Alabeo Waco does. Drag, sluggish power, no vertical performance, torque/p factor, the need for top rudder exiting rolls etc... Alabeo has done pretty well.

Awesome. The knowledge and skills displayed in your videos amazes me. Thanks.

Hi! Awesome aerobatics pilot you are, Yoda! Are these Alabeo Waco YMF5 from Justflight and Aerosoft identical? Just downloaded the scenery and a Stearman Super and looking for a good Waco. Why do you always have to infect me, mate? Keep your distance of 1.5m! 😂😂😂
