Winner! the mound looks right but the game didn’t know how to extrapolate walkway/steps and the Lion into the game. I expect someone will update this with a fix as it seems popular. It also seems less stark in height than the pics on Google.
The very best crashes in the business can be had in the Il2 BoX series. The detailed damage models combine with refined flight modelling to create beautifully terrifying prangs of an endless variety.
I’ve considered turning damage models back on, but not until I have a better controller. The y-axis is just WAAAAAAY too sensitive on the tiny little Xbox controller.
Just did my first FSE flight in several years. I made a magnificent profit of $550, lol. I rented a Skyhawk and paid a hefty bonus penalty, but I just wanted a quick practice flight to make sure I am using FSE correctly. I flew from Orlando to Sebring Regional. It was entertaining because there was heavy rain, low clouds, and 12-knot winds. Plus Sebring is not towered, so I had to decide which runway was best. The wind shifted as I approached the field and made it easier to pick.
Have to work a bit now, but I might start one of the bush flights tonight. :)
I’ve been filtering down to where TBMs are parked and picking up medical flights with them. You can do 700 miles with that thing in a couple of hours (or less than an hour of real time if you use time compressions), and I can usually pull down $8-10k net per contract.
Unlike actual flights, in the case of that for FSE my strategy is, “get it on the ground, anywhere is good.”
I routinely get messages from ATC that I wasn’t cleared for landing and to leave the runway immediately. To feel more superior, I key the ATC employee cars as I leave.
Well, that’s what the ATIS said. I didn’t really feel it on final approach, but then I was landing pretty straight into the wind. Then again, I did have a bumpy landing, but that was probably my own fault. Also, I did keep drifting off course during the cruise, but I didn’t feel any turbulence.
So with $350,000 on hand, I’m tempted to buy a Skyhawk. Maybe a cheap one with only VFR avionics.
I haven’t tried the TBM yet. I’ll give it a whirl!
