FS2020: The Boeing Stratoliner (Local Legend 10) Thorough Review & Impressions!

[@rogerrees9845]

Great presentation.... Thank you so much for making navigation easier for a 65 year old newbe to understand... Roger...

[@Huddison]

Much appreciated & my pleasure.

Love the Dc3, I think this will sit nicely alongside in my hanger. Great video on the Stratoliner James, can't wait to fly it.

[@Huddison]

You'll love it, if you enjoy the DC3 ;)

Nice video as always mate, with all the other stuff I have on the go I'll hang fire on picking this up. I took some inspiration from your previous video and purchased the Orbx London update and actually updated my rolling cache to 16GB on my XSX. On yesterdays livestream I flew from Heathrow to London City, London City to Gatwick and back again, all in the amazing V35 Bonanza. As with your video here, you can still spot the odd building that looks iffy if you really look for it but over all absolutely spot on.

I love the view the pilots have. A lot of windows.

Thank you, another great video. I just flew the plane. Once I landed I found I could not steer the plane. The rudders were working but the plane kept going straight. I tried the rudders plus the brakes that worked for a brief second - then the plane just stopped. Did you notice the same?

[@Huddison]

Rudders are very sluggish when landing, but once slow enough so that it rests on the back wheels, it's easier.

[@johnnicolucci380]

@@Huddison Thank you for getting back to me so quickly. I will try to go slow and make sure the back wheels are on the ground.

I really do like the look of this plane as its such a unique look of a cigar or bullet fuselage. The only trouble I have with it is that they say its celling is 18,000-20,000ft more less? 10,000ft gets up there no problem happily climbing 1000fpm, but when you try to go even higher she struggles and you can tweak it around as much as you want but when you get below 120mph she stalls and flat spins. These engines are meant to be supercharged and they even show them to be, but for whatever reason I cannot find a supercharger lever/button and the only thing I can find related to supercharger is the pressure in the cabin which doesn't make any difference in performance wise. I really want to take this across Europe especially in the mountain regions but that almost near impossible and she struggles so badly above 11,000ft. Maybe I'm missing something or doing something wrong as the checklist that comes with it in all honesty isn't very good. I understand its not a study level aircraft but even still this aircraft was meant to be better than the DC-3 in terms of performance when they were still flying around back in the day. Either way she is a gorgeous looking aircraft.

[@Huddison]

I also want to take this on long flights, so I'll look into this and will likely livestream my results at some point.

LAM is the Lambourne VOR which is close to the Stapleford aerodrome.

[@Huddison]

Thanks.

[@mikecoffee100]

This costs Money :O blimy the panel is 2004 and the sound is ok and we will need Huddisonto help us set up the Throttle , otherwise not bad Thank You for another good video

[@Huddison]

Thanks Mike, I don't notice cockpit fidelity if the flight model is good and the aircraft is fun ;)

[@leezinke4351]

What a beautiful plane

[@Huddison]

I think so too.

[@smallpotato8752]

Hey i just bought the saitek yoke for msfs and i cant figure out the throttle and the rev-thrust goes on when i go below 25% throttle on the quadrant and i tried looking at your videos for help but I couldn't find anything so do you have a fix for the problem?

[@Huddison]

Are you having those issues in a specific aircraft? Our Discord crew recently helped someone in there with a similar issue - do take a look: discord.gg/Ameu93sHfY

[@johnb.3655]

Nice flight..!!

[@Huddison]

Thanks! 👍

[@antonioiozzi291]

Nice aircrafts but for me the DC3 as vintage aircraft is enough. A 4 engine one is a problem not having a joystick with four engine configuration possibility. There are simply too many vintage 4 engine aircrafts. I woukd have prefered a B17, an aircraft that fly today in airshows. I like bibtage but prefer single engine ones.

[@Huddison]

That's fair enough, it's not for everyone.

[@kokoeteantigha389]

Just bought this. But is there a way to get rid of that stretched look of the cockpit? I havent rolled mine out of the hanger yet but have watched yours and Jon Bennett's previews and the panel is always unnaturally warped. I'd welcome advise from anyone who knows how to eliminate it, please.

[@Huddison]

Just to clarify: does it look stretched on our videos (it seems to look normal to me)?

[@kokoeteantigha389]

@@Huddison Viewing it from my end, it does look stretched. Oddly too, this isnt a feature of all cockpit panels. Take the ATR for instance, I am yet to see a video where the panel has that disappearing into infinity at the extreme end look about it. And like I mentioned earlier, I am yet to take a flight with mine, so I'm bound to find out if the effect is native to the model or is due to a setting from the Content Creator's end. (Sotto voce - reason I'm yet to roll out mine is that I'm living in the rustically rural and provincial extremity of my country Nigeria and there's been no pub light since I got it downloaded. Sigh!)
