flight sim aerobatics

Manoeuvres – not “stunts”.

I believe I have a photo somewhere of a jet flying through the arch of the Eiffel Tower somewhere (thanks Al!)

re:

Could any of these stunts be actually done?

re:

Micropose European Airwar is the one I’m currently using

My favourite for sheer ridiculous manouvers has to be the Spitifre FR14

I guess it depends on what sim you are flying. I mostly fly iEN’s Warbirds online.

Off the top of my head :

I once landed a B25 on an Essex class Carrier.
Caused numerous fighters to crash while I was flying a JU52 (fighter pilots get bloodlust when they see easy prey like a JU52 and it can make them do silly things 🙂 ). Also got a few with the Mossie IV too.
I also once shot down a Me262 while flying an A6M3 Zero/Zeke which made me smile (lesson to jet pilots.. don’t try to turn fight with a Zeke).

I use FS2004 mainly for practicing instrument approaches at unfamiliar fields before I go on a trip.

Spitfire IX through the arch of the Eiffel Tower, with a FW190 in hot pursuit! 😉

G-Fury with smoke under all the bridges over the River Thames. Even managed a loop through Tower Bridge. 😀

Hmm, does this topic qualify for the historic forum? Only if you are using something from the FS1 to FS4 range!

And the most popular flightsim stunt must be the 747 under the Golden Gate Bridge (I did that in FS4 already!)

Concorde out of Clacton Full Fuel with out burners!

a cessna 150 aerobat did not get enought speen to get out of heathrow!

re:

I managed to almost land an ME262 from 7000ft with starboard wing sliced clean off, only to botch my landing having got the 262 down to 30 foot, and wrote the airframe off

Can anyone explain the basic terms used in aerobatics? Whats the correct term for where the whole starboard as many times as you can before you have to pull out?

Whats a decent aerobatic flight sim? Does anyone do a Stampe or Pitts sim?

I once got a Spit XIV up to the speed of sound from 50,000ft! 😉

Well, almost…

.96 Mach, to be precise 😉

Not much of a boast for an historic forum, but I frequently got the 737 up above 90,000ft…

Flood.

I managed to get a Cessna 172 off and on the ground a few times at Gillespie Field San Diego a few weeks back.

Now Mike you must know that the relish will make an incredible amount of mess inside the Mustang during aerobatics, make it look like someones been shot :p
