Gerard - Very nice selection of aircrafts! I have a several of these and you better "stay on your toes" flying one of these. Demands a lot of attention during the landing process, but can be controlled with practice! A winner for sure!

 

Thanks for sharing! Rick:cool:

Great shot of your Corsair Gerard. That was a tough fighter bomber and did a lot of damage during the war. :cool: :cool: :)

[DAVIDSTRAKA]

Well done Gerard! I like the presentation :pilot:

[flightsimg]

Thanks all for your comments!

 

Rick: yes! Think that's due to the torque of that large propeller

Larry: looks like that was the workhorse in the Pacific

DAVIDSTRAKA: thanks; noticed that my weather engine often gives me bad weather during WW2 :)

Great one again Gerard! :cool::cool::cool:

[flightsimg]

Thanks Peer!

 

On the other hand, I have checked the daily Bing image on my Windows 10. I was wondering why no spectacular water landing lately, and I found!! That why the Netherlands are now covering with ice LOL

[peer01]

:D No ice here, 6C .......

[flightsimg]

Well! So I hope that's not your sojourns in the little wood's house which turned you upside down! :):)

Good looking Corsair for sure. :)

Good looking Corsair for sure. :)

 

for my WW2 collection, mostly take the freeware available. After it's all in the scenarization! :)

Nice Corsair there Gerard. Too bad about the bad weather.

 

Thanks. I'd noticed that, that my free weather engine, often gives me bad weather for remote times! :) Will try to thing about that

[Downwind66]

Gerard, I looked at your post one more time and had to do a "second take." It's one of the exact aircraft I have. I chose this and one other from a list of about 8. I do like the WR "9"

 

Enjoy! Feeling any better?

 

Rick :cool:

Thanks Rick! And thanks to inquire about my health. About getting out, wouldn't it be the collective heat system of my housing. They just tuned it that summer to save money; we're at the legal temperature authorized in France , and I feel that's a one for tramp! :(

[lifejogger]

That is a superb shot!!!!!!!!

[flightsimg]

That is a superb shot!!!!!!!!

Beautiful Corsair Gérard. And the superstructure of the carrier in the background adds to the picture. Bravo.

Thanks kalizzi! That's mostly my philosophy to FS, even outside those WW2 planes: to scenerize -- at a less cost of time, but with much efficiency, or I hope so -- where I fly :)

[Downwind66]

Here you go, Gerard! So far, this Corsair has only seen takeoffs and landings on good old Terra Firma, no aircraft carriers for me with this little "Dynamite Stick!" I have finally got the wheels landings down, took some doing, but I stuck with it!

 

 

Rick :cool:

[darrenvox]

nice one!!

[Downwind66]

Thanks Darren!

[Macroburst]

That gull wing gets me every time!

Love it!

[flightsimg]

Yes, the Corsair was a powerful plane, with much torque I think due to its large propeller!
