Spitfires.com visit and flying alongside a Spitfire followed by sim flight to Compton Abbas MSFS2020

[@AJL_UK]

What an amazing experience to fly alongside a spit. Amazing experience and nicely put together with a sim flight too. Great Vid and poignant tribute.

[@Dreamsofwings]

Many thanks mate 🍻

Wow! Great footage! What an amazing experience! Despite being Canadian, I have been to Goodwood for the Festival of Speed. Warbirds and classic cars! It doesn't get any better than that! I wish I was closer because I would spend a lot of time there given the chance! Thanks for the great video!

@@dillank3240 many thanks, yes Goodwood is a wonderful place to visit.

The radar installation on top of Portsdown hill belongs to what used to be called ASWE (Admiralty Surface Weapons Establishment) and became ASRE (Admiralty Signals and Radar Establishment). When I used to work at IBM North Harbour at the foot of the same hill, it had to have shielding built in to the structure to protect the main frame computers from being screwed by the strong radar signals.

[@Dreamsofwings]

Amazing! Thanks so much for taking the time to add this. Very interesting.

[@philgreen815]

Am gutted re the loss of a pilot and spit yesterday. RIP. Compton Abbas one of my favourite Places in the sim. Nice video, many thanks.

[@Dreamsofwings]

Awful news, his poor family. Many thanks.

[@apexchief197]

Such a massive shame. My heart goes out to the family and friends of the pilot involved. 😢

[@Plumsouffle]

I’ve skimmed pebbles less successfully than that landing! Seriously, though, I’ve been thinking for a while you should play back some landings of yours as they’re not too bad. Great video. Just for relaxes.

[@Dreamsofwings]

🤣 it’s actually very easy to bounce in this Spit but that was a few of ‘em in a row. Many thanks.

Great vid mate looked like a fantastic day out love G-ILDA new BOB livery fits her so well was absolutely looking forward to this video being released, I'm glad to see I'm not the only one having issues with flyingiron spit every time I put her on autopilot and change the heading it just constantly turns dive bombing into the ground lucky i stop it from actually hitting the ground but hopefully that issue gets fixed at some point, keep up the great work mate Was very very sad to hear about yesterday accident at Coningsby, my heart goes out to the pilot family and friends and work colleagues 😢😢, Fly High Sir thank u for your service 😥😔

[@CMACJAZZ]

How sad, condolences to the skippers family and friends, nice flight Rob in the sim and good filming on the “real” flight. BR Charlie

[@Dreamsofwings]

Yes it’s an awful tragedy Charlie. Many thanks.

[@AeroSmithyProductions]

Great video. I was lucky enough to get 30 minutes in Grey Nurse T7 Spitfire up a Biggin Hill a couple of weeks ago. I was only dropping some parts off, next thing I knew I was doing victory rolls over Kent. It should be on everyone’s bucket list. Keep up the great work.

[@Dreamsofwings]

Many thanks! What a fantastic surprise that must have been! It’s quite an experience.

[@bobhundley9295]

Wow! Just wow - Loved this vid. G-IRTY looks fabulous in MSFS, scenery is gorgeous. I have LO-G as a custom skin (not MSFS), Osgood Hanbury X4382, she looks a bit tatty. Love the Cam of shame - I like to see a bounce! Lol!

[@Dreamsofwings]

Hey many thanks! Yes this livery is a personal repaint by a friend, AJLUK, and I am lucky that he lets me borrow it!

[@coxy5850]

Looks like Guy Richie has organised an airshow weekend at Compton Abbas, 10-11 August.

[@Dreamsofwings]

Ah great stuff!

Gilda went right over my school yesterday

[@andrewbennett2582]

Would be able to share which presets you have loaded for Accuseason for the Terrain and Vegetation please? It looks really good and would love to give it a whirl.

[@Dreamsofwings]

Many thanks, I am just using the auto update so at the moment there is no terrain mask being downloaded as the default is ok. Otherwise my tree height is medium and canopy is the uneven (can’t remember what the official term is! 🤣)

[@andrewbennett2582]

@@Dreamsofwings brill thanks, and what about resilient or standard colouring?

[@Dreamsofwings]

@@andrewbennett2582 I have a feeling in this one resilience was not on.

[@andrewbennett2582]

@@Dreamsofwings awesome. Thanks again!

[@Lonsome1223]

What did you think of update 15 I Use VR and it's improved things a lot probably because of memory allocation. Have you tried BURNING BLUE OLD WARDEN with airshow addon animated crowd and sounds if you go external among them. Nice video I would have used the AIRSHOW ASSISTANT and had a wing man.

[@Dreamsofwings]

SU15 is great. Feels smoother. Yes the Airshow addon for Old Warden came out after I had done the video but it certainly adds to it. I like the airshow addon but so much or it around I am leaving it out of videos at the moment.

[@FlightSimVRDad]

Great video! How do you compare the Flying Iron Spit to the Flight Replicas MK. V ?

[@Dreamsofwings]

Many thanks! I must admit I’ve not had the urge to get the MkV and know very little about what it is like in the sim.

[@CurleeToes]

Try uninstalling REX AccuSeason and clearing your cache that should get rid of those stutters

[@Dreamsofwings]

Not using a cache these days 🤷🏻‍♂️

[@CurleeToes]

@@Dreamsofwings me neither but still try clearing it after a update

[@CurleeToes]

@@Dreamsofwings But those stutters in your sim I’m sure are caused by Rex AccuSeasons I had the same until uninstalling it and clearing the cache regularly even with it set to off

[@CurleeToes]

Great video btw and I love the FlyingIron Spitfire I still fly it regularly

[@Dreamsofwings]

Ok thanks will give it a try! Presumably you reinstalled AccuSeason aftwerwards?
