Thanks for the takeoff and landing Shorts! Great stuff.

[@vintagesimulations]

Thanks, I'm glad you like them =)

Lovely sounds in this one, a lot of addons miss out the low-end/bass of piston engines but this one really gets it!

[@vintagesimulations]

I agree, the Spitfire sounds fantastic. Flying Irons Bf-109 sounds are also extremly well done.

Great vid. Thank you for including external views of takeoff, landing and aerial. Btw, fantastic landing. This is one of your top 3 aircrafts, which are your other two?

[@vintagesimulations]

Thank you very much for your kind words! I'm glad you enjoyed the external views =) For further videos, would you prefer side views for takeoff & landing or a view from the back? I think the side view looks better, but the view from the back might be better for showing the control inputs. There was definitely a bit of luck involved on that landing =D Currently my other top 3 aircraft are the Corsair and Hellcat, but that could change when Flyingiron releases the Me 109. Do you have a top 3 list?

@@vintagesimulations Why not showing both external side view and back view! :) If you are thinking the vid may get too long, you could cut a little bit from the aerobatic display segment. Your three top aircrafts were all WWII warbirds, any GA favourites?

[@vintagesimulations]

​@@dixonmak I'll think about that. But maybe 2 replays might be a bit much...but I'll look into that. Another solution could be to upload a different view as a short, or do a video compilation of takeoffs and landings with various types. I'm a bit reluctant to cutting parts of the display portion because it might affect the flow of the flight. I realize that most viewers jump big portions of it, but maybe there are a few who want to see the complete flight. But maybe I'll fly a shorter display, or in case of this video, I could have started the display sooner. Do the Wilga, Staggerwing and TB30 Epsilon count as GA aircraft? I love those. But when it comes to GA in the classic sense, I enjoy the 414, 310 and Turbo Arrow III/IV. They are fantastic, but I don't use them a lot, because most of my flying is based around aerobatics.

@@vintagesimulations Whatever external views you can included in your videos will be a bonus. I love them all. Cheers.

[@vintagesimulations]

​@@dixonmak Ok I will see what I can do =) There will be at the very least takeoff and landing replays from now on. Thank you for your continuous support! Cheers.

Looks like this is the time to buy it.

[@vintagesimulations]

100%. It was great before, but now it's probably the best warbird for MSFS and certainly the prettiest. All 3 of Flying Irons birds are must haves, when you are into warbirds =)

Landing this thing is soooo difficult

[@vintagesimulations]

I remember a quote from a female Spitfire ferry pilot, who said: "It's a lady in the air and a b**** on the ground." What always helps is to do a curved approach, to keep the runway in sight as long as possible. After that you look straight ahead and use your peripheral vision to keep it straight. You also want to land in a 3-point position. With a bit of practice, it becomes very manageable.
