Payware Flight Replicas P-40N is needed. This repaint pack shows Curtiss P-40N-5-CU F-AZKU Little Jeanne in its different three paint schemes from 2007 until today September 2023. For normal and airshow models. Was built in August 1943 with c/n 29677, was flying with the 7th Fighter Group, in Papua New Guinea. Her pilot, Robert Warren, named her “Little Jeanne”. In 1974, the wreck is recovered from the jungle where it had been abandoned with 6 others. After a restauration from 1997 to 2002 in Australia, the P-40 flies again. In September 2005, magical moment, Robert Warren visits Australia to watch his aircraft fly again! Two years later, the P-40 moves to France and is registered F-AZKU. Please note If you have older versions of F-AZKU Little Jeanne of mine installed, please delete it. The repaints in this upload are much closer to the real ones of its time.

/images/notams/notams22/repl1125/flight-replicas-p40n-1.jpgI think it's about time to give an update on the P-40 "N" series. The aircraft is about 98% complete, and back on track again aftercode changes were necessary after the MSFS SU11 update. Once finalwork is complete, then the aircraft be on to final testing and on towriting the Manual, etc. In the meantime, if you want to see what it's looking like so far,these WIP screenshots should give you an idea. /images/notams/notams22/repl1125/flight-replicas-p40n-2.jpg /images/notams/notams22/repl1125/flight-replicas-p40n-3.jpgSource

/images/op-eds/virushwk/virushawk-1.jpg Virushawk By Ian Radcliffe As the social distancing and lockdownsstarted and we all began to contemplate extended time at home,planemaker A2A made their Accusim P-40 Warhawk available for free, forboth FSX and P3D. I fly almost exclusively A2A aircraft these days andhave eleven others, but this was one I had never seriouslyconsidered. With the Mustang and Spitfire in my hangar, what need hadI of another "fighter"? But the offer was too good an opportunity topass up, so I logged on and grabbed it. And boy am I glad I did. /images/op-eds/virushwk/virushawk-2.jpg For me, one of the most appealing things about A2A's planes istheir very distinct individual qualities. Every new one is a newlearning experience, a unique piece of machinery to get the hang of,and the P-40 is no exception. When first reading up about how to makeit go, I found the hydraulic system a bit intimidating; it needn't be,it's just a different way of doing things. On the first flight thetakeoff was more alarming than I expected. And I'm still working on mylandings. (I think I'm aiming for a three-pointer when the proper wayto do it is to fly it on in a tail-low wheel landing.) In the air,trimmed, it's rock steady, a joy to hand fly. The engine noise isdifferent, almost like a big auto engine. The view is exceptional. Allin all, it's a truly exciting experience. I had an Airfix model of the Tomahawk as a kid, back when I wouldrun around my room with my planes, making gnneeeowwwww noises. Itturns out that same plane is one of the color schemes in thepackage. Thanks, A2A! You made my day. /images/op-eds/virushwk/virushawk-3.jpg If it's still available for free, grab it now. If not, grab itanyway.

/images/notams/notams18/a2a1107/a2a1107.jpgThe rugged P-40 with its Flying Tigers shark-toothed paint schememay very well be the world's most recognized image of an American WordWar II fighter aircraft. Yet, the P-40 with all of its fame, stillremains misunderstood even today. It was called underpowered by somewho perhaps, were quick to judge and never understood its truepotential. But if you look at this aircraft, and the facts thatsurround it, you will see quite a different story. One fact thatcannot be overlooked is, when in the hands of Colonel Chennault,commander of the AVG (American Volunteer Group), his thencontroversial hit and run tactics ended up giving that group theworlds highest kill ratio which is still not matched to date. It wasnot without its flaws, but when you compare the technologies andperformance against aircraft being developed by other nations at thattime, you will see quite a remarkable aircraft. /images/notams/notams18/a2a1107/p40-1.jpgPart of the secret of the P-40 was in its rugged Allison engine andits high dive speeds. Some squadrons pushed its capabilities wellbeyond its official limits in combat. This high power matched with anair frame that held onto energy better than the Japanese counterparts,meant an experienced pilot could command the fight. He could decidewhen to engage and when to escape. When we read about Middle East andAustralian squadrons over-boosting their Allison engines, we couldn'twait to Accu-Sim this bird and experience it ourselves. This resultedin us digging even deeper into not just the function of this engine atsuch high power levels, but the sound. Additionally, other systems likethe P-40's unique hydraulics required us to take our Accu-Sim to yetanother level of detail. You may notice when a fighter raises itsgear, the gear sometimes comes up at different times. Instead of ussimply and without condition, telling the aircraft to raise the gearone leg at a time, we decided to dig deeper and create the entireunderlying system, allowing whatever behaviours be the result ofactual systems at work. In fact, this is the philosophy behindAccu-Sim from the start. Build it right, and enjoy theexperience. /images/notams/notams18/a2a1107/p40-2.jpgWhen looking to the construction, the newest modelling andadvanced material-making techniques results in an aircraft that youcan just spend not just minutes but hours admiring the beauty of theshape and look of the aircraft. Together, with professionally recordedsounds and physics, the end result is the sense of having a complete,real, majestic, raw, flying machine stuffed inside your computer. Wehope you enjoy your new beautiful bird, and hope you learn to fly andtreat her well. Purchase Accu-Sim P-40 For P3D v4
