Those are some worn in sticks for sure! I got a laugh out of that big hole in Gunner's glove - good stuff, a result of many hours of practice!

Having the setup chromed would look pretty slick. 8)

Oh, I want Gunner's pit.

Haha! Wow - that's about what I thought it'd look like but it's really cool to see it on a graph, massive difference in acceleration. :lol:

Lighting those burners must really be a kick in the pants.

Great video! I'm curious as to what kind of 1/4 mile time the Hornet can pull - the ZR1 is around 10.8 @ 132 MPH - ridiculously fast for a stock car, but doesn't stand a chance in a 1/2 mile race against a jet! :lol:

Wow! Those are some ridiculously good looking models - can't believe the level of detail. I don't have Black Shark but will certainly be picking up the A-10. The last chopper sim I flew was Longbow 2 - that was a lot of fun, great sim for its time; so maybe I should get Black Shark, looks like it's ...

I've got this for FSX as well, but I don't have the Acceleration package, so I don't see the HUD / MFD's. It's certainly a nice add-on with an impressive cockpit but I just can't get into flying combat jets in MSFS. The flight model is pretty strange feeling and all you can really do is fly around. ...

:lol: :lol: That was the same one! Electra - rudder only, it didn't look all that pretty flying, yawing all over the place. Yeah flying that thing in some wind probably isn't a good mix.

That's with heads and cam already. Stock motor turned 275hp. With heads, cam & exhaust I'm getting about 400 or so out of it.
Oh yea, that's right - the ol' LT1 - yea 400 is pretty peppy, heh.

They have made some incredible videos - I've watched all of them quite a few times, such beautiful videography/editing and film quality. That P-51 is such an awesome machine - those guys are living the life. It must be a blast to get together with your friends and fly some formation in your own P-51.

Almost forgot, 8) - there we go. He...
