Ya' know...

Post by -E »

I was just sitting in the VC while cruising along. You can't help but notice how great a job was done on this plane. You really feel like you're there. Beyond the "normal" stuff, I'm looking at the sliding window glass "framing," The shades of the armored glass (can't stop hitting "O" *grin*). Looking down around the rudder pedals, the tub looks really good. Extremely nice shading of VC textures in general/overall. That whiskey compass is fantastic. I still can't get the suit heater to work, but I'm hoping that will be less of a problem as spring begins to actually happen where I live. You guys have been steadily improving from a high level start, and it shows. Pretty close to 100% on the gauge helptext this time around too! *grin* I still can't figure out why my radar operator is using all the gaseous O2 in a pressurized cockpit under 5,000 ft, but this is a great FS plane!

Speaking of the Radar Operator, I wish we could jump into that seat and ride with the 219 on autopilot. It would be an interesting view. :wink:

In the VC you can move your eyepoint to the back seat :wink:

The propeller is just a big fan in front of the plane used to keep the pilot cool. When it stops, you can actually watch the pilot start sweating.
