Thank you! I'm glad you like the video! You might be surprised about how capable the Beech 18 is =) You might want to check out this video of Matt Younkin flying his airshow routine in his Beech 18. kzbin.info/www/bejne/nmLUhK15o9-LrLs At around 13:00 you'll see him doing a roll right after takeoff. If you look at his airspeed indicator he does it at a similar speed I do it at in the sim. I agree it can be a risky maneuver in a heavy or underpowered aircraft but it's not impossible. John Mohr also rolled his underpowered 220 hp Stearman right after takeoff, there are also a few pilots who roll or even snap roll an AT-6 right after takeoff.

@@vintagesimulations the standard Beech 18 is not certified for acrobatics. It is msde to take passengers not for doing acro. You cannot fly inverted without a proper fuel injection system. This red/ black Beech is highly modified for acro.

@@antonioiozzi291 Sorry but that's not true. Yes, the Beech 18 was never built to do aerobatics, and I probably wouldn’t attempt it in real life, as it is very easy to overstress the airframe, but it is possible to do so. In the video I linked you above both Matt and his crew chief Jeff Gibbs get interviewed and talk about modifications to the airframe. The only modifications to it are the added smoke system, more lights for his night airshow, spar straps (which are a requirement for all airworthy Beech 18s and are also modeled on the sim version). The only performance enhancing modification is that his interior is lighter than the one you see in MSFS, which is why I only added a minimal fuel load to keep the weight down. His engines are stock carbureted R-985s. It's perfectly possible to do aerobatics without a fuel injection system, you just have to keep it positive. It's not unusual to see Stearmans, Tiger Moths, AT-6s and many other airplanes with carbureted engines to do aerobatics, including hammerhead turns, spins, snap rolls and rolls. A friend of mine does aerobatics with his stock Stearman all the time. Again, you just have to keep it positive, if not the engine will cough and lose power and if you keep it inverted for too long it’ll quit.

That'll be quite an endeavor! But I'm not sure the Trimotor has enough range for that trip. The leg from Narsarsuaq to Reykjavik alone is close to 800 miles. I'm not sure how much range Tukan's Trimotor has, but normally a Trimotor has a range of around 500-550 miles. Maybe you can pretend you're flying with ferry tanks and add fuel on the way =)

The checklist does tell you to open throttle 100% during start up. The 2nd spot light is a morse light not a spot

I agree it's a great rendition of the Scout. I think most of these things are pretty minor flaws, especially for the prize and so far, Inibuilds has been quite good at updating their aircraft =) I also have to be honest I'm no expert on helicopter flying, but I did open the throttle fully before takeoff, maybe the governor simulation needs some fine adjusting, or I missed something. For the videos I normally don't use a checklist. Like @batterby7675 writes the 2nd spotlight is a morse light.

​@@batterby7675 nice to see you here =) Hopefully we'll meet up over the skies of Duxford again soon. Maybe when Flying Iron releases the FW-190!

@vintagesimulations always up for some tail chasing mate. Keep up the good work 👏

​@@batterby7675 great! See you at Duxford then =) If I find some time I'll be there tomorrow evening. Thanks 🙏

As far as I know the Yokes are not removable, but since they don't block the view on any instruments I'm ok with that =)

Thanks for watching! I'm glad the video could be useful =) I use the freeware Flight Recorder available here: flightsim.to/file/8163/flight-recorder So far, it's quite reliable and easy to use. The only important thing is that you start and stop the recording with running engines!

Fully agree with you, they are very charming! I grew up with the Junkers Ju-52 flying over my house on a regular basis. It's the reason I got into aviation and especially vintage aviation =)

The 3D model is much much better than the Asobo / Aeroplane Heaven one. There's just one cockpit option, but it's a nice old-school upgrade. A step-up from the 1920's panel without being too modern. There's a full Indiana Jones interior too.

Like @LeCapitaineHaddock writes, the 3D model is worlds ahead of the Asobo/Aeroplane Heaven one. It's much more authentic and a lot more detailed. There are also plenty of paint schemes included of actual aircraft, including some airworthy examples. The cockpit is a depiction of a typical modernized 70s-80s restoration. The flight models are quite similar. The Tukan Trimotor performs a bit better during takeoff and climb, being a more powerful 5AT model instead of the 4AT depicted by Aeroplane Heaven. They are similar in roll and rudder authority, but the elevator is a bit more responsive. Neither of them is perfect. Both don't have a lot of systems depth to them and the soundsets could use some work. There are also some bugs like the yoke moving very slowly in the cockpit or the inop Hobbs meter. Tukan already mentioned that there will be updates and upgrades in the future like for example a new cabin interior for the military version. I'd say if you want a more authentic depiction of a Trimotor go with Tukans one, but don't expect a perfect/flawless aircraft....at least not yet.

It's Fantasy of Flight, home to Kermit Weeks fantastic aircraft collection. It's a freeware scenery by Rotornut44 and is available here: flightsim.to/file/16471/fantasy-of-flight-fa08 He also did the awesome Forwood Farm airfield that comes with Got Friends Wilga.

Glad you like it =) It's incredible how far sims have come!

Hi, if you have the Standard edition of the game it costs 15€ and if you have the Deluxe or Premium Deluxe version it costs 10€.

@@vintagesimulations Ok, thanks

@@reticentsimmer my pleasure!

Hey, I think that shouldn't be a problem. I used to use a close to 20 year old 30€ joystick until one or two years ago without any issues.

Glad you like it =)

Glad you like it =) Yeah, it's a fun thing to do =)

Sadly, it's not available in the Marketplace yet. But since Taog's Alouette is available there, I'm assuming the Huey will be published there too sooner or later.

Glad you like it!

The Beech 18 is great =)

Thank you very much for your kind words! I'm glad you like it and that you get use out of my videos, that means a lot to me! Thank you 🙌 I only attempted it twice, I did one practice run and the flight for the video, both times it worked, but the first time I got even closer to the trees...maybe the third time would have been the charm 😅 It's certainly not something I would attempt in the real world, at least not in a Twin Beech 😆

Thank you! I'm glad you like it =) I had some trouble with it too. On one of my first flights, I wanted to see how good the engine damage model is and see how long it takes for them to fail if you run them to cold, hot or over boost them. Ever since the right engine didn't have enough oil in it and wouldn't run properly. And I just couldn't get the oil tank to fill up, which resulted in parking the Beech for months. I'm happy to say in my case it was a user error. Yesterday I finally read the manual and found out to fill up the oil tanks you must pull out the oil shutoffs, fill in the oil and then put the shutoffs back in. Since then, it works without any issues, and I can't stop flying it. It's probably one of the best twins in the sim =) What trouble did you have with it?

@@vintagesimulations it was a while ago but just like you, I took off, one engine failed and I tried starting it back up and even re-started the sim and it would not start. Never thought to read the manual. What a concept....

​@@FlightSimVRDad haha I must admit I still only read the section on engine wear and oil management...until I run into another problem😅

Thank you very much! I'm glad you like it =) That's an awesome idea! I haven't been to Monument Valley yet. Thanks for the great suggestion =)

@@vintagesimulations Many opportunities there for some stunt flying!

@@BJM62 that's true! I'm downloading a freeware Monument Valley scenery as we speak. I can't wait to try it out =)

Thank you! I'm glad you like them =) I use the freeware flight recorder available here: flightsim.to/file/8163/flight-recorder It's a great tool and it's fun to experiment with camera positions while replaying the flight.

@@vintagesimulations damn, I don't know what's up, by my replays suck balls, lol, like I've got a 3070 graphics card and it plays the game beautifully, but when watching a reply, I loose sight of the plane pretty damn quickly, where in your replays, you can see your plane as it flies off into the distance, I can't see where I'd have settings different? arggggg, major bumber :( ... what set up are you running? if you don't mind me asking?

​@@rustyneedles3743 Yeah, that's sadly a shortcoming of the sim =/ It depends on the aircraft you're using, some are visible for longer and others disappear almost immediately. You'll notice on some of my videos there are a lot of cuts during the replay. That's the reason. I really hope that’ll improve with MSFS2024. I use a 3080 graphics card, but as far as I know it shouldn't influence the visibility. I always zoom in 80-90% on the airplane, but I'm not sure if that increases the length of how long the plane is visible, but it may be worth a try.

@@vintagesimulations hmmm, yeah come to think about it, I think I might be just being to fussy, I'm also flying the Horten, but after mucking about with the graphical settings etc, I believe we're almost on par with each other and when you pan or transition to another pass by, is about when the plane on my end becomes invisible, which is unfortunate and seeing it fall away from sight is a bit disconcerting, but I believe with editing and stitching together the passes, I could very well edit out when the aircraft goes too far and have footage like yours (that looks awesome) I guess I'm right to believe that the Horten in your footage, soon after you transition to another pass flies too far and becomes invisible too? annnd are you suing a controller for the drone cam? the key board controls are very awkward to use, I might consider buying an xbox controller in the hopes controlling the drone cam is better? thanks for your replies bro, appreciate the in put and help

​@@rustyneedles3743 Glad it works for you and that you like the footage =) You're right, the transition between the passes is because of the plane disappearing the next second. Yes, I use a controller to set the camera up, it's much easier compared to the keyboard controls. My pleasure! Glad I could help =)

Thank you very much =)

I'm glad you like it =) The Chilton is fantastic! I haven't flown them back-to-back, but from memory I would say they aren't too dissimilar. The Tipsy is a bit more of a tourer and is very easy to fly while the Chilton feels a bit sportier.

I'm glad you like it! This is my first Cockspur aircraft, but it certainly won't be my last.

Thank you very much! I'm glad you like it =)

No sabía que fueron los Hampdens los que atacaron Berlín en 1940. Gracias por la información.

They would have lost the BoB anyway tbh. They weren't making much headway.

They are a bit unusual, but for some reason I quite like them.

I think it's sadly not likely. Since you're not even allowed to display non-functional guns or dummy-bombs on Marketplace-releases. But I would also love to see a a Combat Flight Simulator edition.

I'm glad you like it =) Thank you! No, at the moment there are no campaigns available for it and the bombs are also purely static. Maybe someone on flightsim.to will create missions for it. But even then, you'll only be able to recreate the routes without using weapons.

I'm glad to hear you enjoy it too =) That sounds like a great flight! I agree it does, like the older brother of a P-38...slower and a bit sluggish but still a lot of fun. Yeah, especially the Tigercat which is one of my favorite aircraft, I really hope Virtavia will update their version or someone else will bring a good one to the sim.

Fully agree! You can definitely tell from which country each of the aircrafts are. I agree, the compass and temperature gauges are uniquely British, but I think so is the flight instruments sixpack, it is almost identical in every British WWII aircraft. Don't worry, your English is very good!

The flight model is great =) I agree the sounds could use some more tweaking, but they are already much, much better then the sounds of previous Virtavia releases.

I would love to see all three of them! At least a Lancaster is in development for MSFS =)

Thank you very much! I'm glad you like it =)

Since there isn't a classic flyby view preset that's sadly a weak point of many MSFS aircraft. It'll be interesting to see if that changes in MSFS 2024!

Me too! It's one of my favorite aviation eras. When I was still in kindergarten the Lufthansa Ju-52 was the airplane that got me hooked to aviation =)

It's a fun plane and one I didn't expect to see in the sim =)

I'm not sure if Rex AccuSeason has anything to do with it, but I don't think so. You can choose between warm, neutral and cold colors and I've set it to neutral. My prefered setting for sunset flights is to set the weather to scattered clouds and then move the lowest cloud layer up by a 2000-3000 feet and lower the density of each layer. Then I set the time to around 8pm or in the case of this video I set the date to September and set the time to around 6pm-ish to still have a few people standing around Old Warden. It really makes the colors pop =)

@@vintagesimulations Thanks for the info. Interesting. That formula certainly works 👍

@@woodyw9798 my pleasure! Glad to hear it works for you too =)

An Anson, yes please! I think we may be waiting a while. I did never expect to see a Hampdon though.

Thank you very much! I'm glad you like it =) A big yes to both of those! I also wouldn't mind having both, the fighter and the bomber version of the Mosquito =) Fully agree, I'm always happy to see unusual/ relatively unknown types in the sim.

@@robertormes2178 yeah probably. But as you said the Hampden also came as a surprise. So let's hope 🤞

Same, absolutely love the XP11 module. Such a cool airplane and very fun to land it fully loaded.

Great to hear that the X-Plane version is good too! It would be interesting to see how the flight models of the MSFS and X-Plane versions compare.

Thank you very much! I'm glad you enjoyed it =) That's a fantastic movie I haven't seen in a while. Especially the buzz job scene is incredible. Thanks for the info on John Crewdson!

Thank you very much =) I must admit at around 11:20 I was a bit lower than I originally intended. When I saw my shadow coming towards me I also thought for a second I would buy the farm 😅

Thank you! I'm glad you like it =) One of the next videos will be at Turweston =)

@@vintagesimulations I think you will enjoy Turweston! Close to Old Warden too.

@@FlightSimVRDad I already do =) I recorded a video with the newish HA-200 there a few days ago, but I still have to edit it. It's a fantastic airfield and I can't thank you enough for the generous giveaway! That's true they are really close to each other, and Silverstone is also right next door, and surprisingly well modeled.

Haha that would also make for a fun flight

Thank you very much for your kind words! I'm glad you like the video =)

Taog did a fantastic job with the Huey. I'm sure you'll enjoy it =)

Yes it does =)

CAS listed the tailwheel position as a known issue he still wants to fix =) It really is fantastic, I can't stop flying it. Hope you'll enjoy it!

Glad you like it =)

Thank you very much! I'm glad you like it =) I sadly have none of those, but I can imagine it would bring the experience to a whole new level.
