to be determined by the Boss but usually GAS includes 5 or 6 to keep the download and your disc space manageable, as opposed to the dozen or more you might see elsewhere. Keep in mind that there will be plenty of 3rd party repaints for the GAS Super Stearman aircraft

Thanks for viewing and for taking the time to post your encouragement - much appreciated !

thank you for viewing and joining - much appreciated. My typical GA flights are about 20-30 minutes. These twin radial flights are going to average 45-60 minutes due to the most common nature of their use. I am not really bent on max viewership as these videos are less for entertainment than they are for evaluation. I use them to compare my PC performance related to scenery and aircraft addons, GPU and sim updates, my own or the settings tweaks of others, and so on. To be fully honest they also serve as sleep aids for my recent bouts of insomnia. Since YT places adds on the ones that reach more than 100 views I figure I'm paying for the service and its all copacetic.

Wow. Reading this feels like lost knowledge from an ancient tome. Thank you for writing this up.

yes - that was purpose of the two recordings. Here is my opinion - and from the videos you can see how I fly them. I am not one to bash a developer so you wont hear that stuff from me. The DC-3 here has the duckworks mod installed - the C-46 is just as AH made it. I like them both and I think AH did a good job on these contracted 'special release' aircraft for MS/ASOBO - given that they are meant to be used by both PC and xBox users 'as is'. I have no doubt they both would have been a bit better developed if made for independent release and without the Marketplace/xBox requirements - but as they are - they are both decent representations. That said the engine startup is a bit buggy in the C-46 and it has other idiosyncrasies - I would like to be able to see a passenger interior AND be able to remove the cargo and have a different flight model reflect those changes. But for less than 10$ I will not complain

have you contacted Williams Brothers directly? the last time I needed a Wasp motor I emailed them directly - they responded and sent one about 2 weeks later. Here is the contact info - you can call them too www.wmbros.com/contact.html here is the part number and info www.wmbros.com/store/p13/Vintage-II%2C_2-1%2F2%22_Diameter%2C_1_Pair.html

@@heywoodplanes6651 thanks! I’ll give it a shit but I was under the impression they were out of business thanks again

Success!! Thank you!

@@louismaniero7907 Glad it worked out - good luck on your Flyline Stearman project

no worries - thanks for watching and taking time to post - it was a favorite of mine in FSX as well and I agree - it only needs a minor tweak or two.

thank you for viewing and posting your encouragement - always much appreciate it when folks stop by and let me know what they think about the vids. 👍

I use CA in the medium viscosity for 90 percent of the structural components and the infilling. However - I use white glue applied with a 1/2" wide brush on the interior walls of the infilled fuselage and wings - as I get the larger areas infilled. This is to add durability and strength to the backside of the infill overall - to prevent 'push through' on any individual infill piece that might not have gotten a good CA bond along all four sides during initial installation. The only other time I might use a white glue or a Titebond II or other yellow woodworking glue is if I'm gluing the larger components together or larger surface area wood to wood components and need the slow bonding and curing time to make adjustments (wings to fuselage, or the vertical fin and stabilizer to fuselage - that kind of thing) Hope this answers your question. Thanks for viewing the channel and posting a question !

no - just typically using TiR5 headtracking system. my setup is minimal. Thrustmaster twisty and the headtracker. That's it. I love pancakes

No - I've seen Islandsimpilots videos and like the idea of upgrading the Bing maps data but have concerns about how the photogrammetry will work with it. Also how future sim updates will be affected. And toward the end of my FSX experience I finally stopped chasing FPS and visual tweaks and mods. The effort became bigger than the simple fun of just running the sim and flying. That has carried over to my approach to MSFS. the KISS principle basically.

yes - I don't have much time for ATS these days but it was just updated so I took a look see

intel I7-10700k @3.8ghz 16gigs RAM running Win11 with an RTX2080SU GPU not even middle of the road anymore

@@heywoodplanes6651 The quality is excellent, that was a nice video.

@@66lwmorgan thank you for viewing the channel and taking the time to post support for this video.

my thought was to let MSFS do all the talking. There are plenty of narrated flight sim videos out there already, so this is an alternative to that. Some folks just want to hear the engines, props, switches, the wind in the wires, rain on the cabin roof and so on, without a guy talking over it. Besides - I talk plenty on my build videos and figure too much of anything can't be good.

Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-10700K CPU @ 3.80GHz only 16gigs ram

@@heywoodplanes6651 Nice, i have the same CPU but my system components are all overclocked for better performance. i7 10700k @ 5.1GHZ, GTX1080 8GB @ 2000MHZ, 32GB RAM DDR4 @ 3600MHZ CL16

Thanks! and for visiting the channel too

thank you for the compliment and for viewing the channel and posting a comment to the P-47 Slideshow video - much appreciated!

it's the Carenado C207 Stationair - a very nice airplane

@@heywoodplanes6651 nice - thanks. Keep up the great videos, you’ve given me a great VFR place to fly now. Cheers

@@ArrRoh no worries - it's a nice area to fly for sure. Thank You for viewing the channel

agree 100% - ASOBO needs to keep all of the ground traffic, be it personnel or vehicular, out of the way of player aircraft, just as we need to stay out of their designated areas and pathways. Finding airport vans, buses, utility trucks and forklifts all over the runways and taxiways even at small airfields is wrong. Even with that slider down to 10% it's still too much

the critical setting is DSR 2.25 to get the 4k resolution without any strain on the card. After that I just need 4x AA and 4x4 suoersample - Aniso = 16x. I also limit FPS to 51

@@heywoodplanes6651 thanks for the Info! But what's the rest of the msfs and nvidia control panel settings please? And do you use any kind of shaders... ?

@@dominikraith1871 I don’t use any shaders and the list of settings between the card and the sim is too long to list - besides - every rig and every individuals preferences are different. You just have to experiment or try different things on your own

​@@heywoodplanes6651 yes i know but i would only need a screenshot of your msfs & nvcp settings! It was only for my own interessting. So too that would not to long!

@@dominikraith1871 no worries - maybe I’ll do a video about my settings - after the SU15 is released

PAVD - Valdez Pioneer airport Alaska

I do not use VR so I can't say how well that would work - all of my videos are made with Track IR 5 head tracking

yes - the Guillow kits of that era are referred to as 'die crushed' instead of die cut. Most of the stamping equipment was upgraded I think in the mid 90's and now many of their kits are laser cut with more kits being transitioned over as money ant time allows. This kit #1001 was a die cut model purchased and started 3 years ago and the parts were well defined - no crushing.

It opens up another world. More aircraft types and in a larger scale. Let me know how it goes!

@@heywoodplanes6651 I picked up the Spirit of St. Louis from e-Bay today. I've always wanted to build a model of this aircraft after watching the Jimmie Stewart movie as a kid. Currently I'm in the middle of a large PT-Boat build but after I'm done I'll start on this kit. I'll have to start putting videos up of my builds, I have just a few poorly shot videos up now. I've just bought a new camera too so I'll start making better videos and shooting some progress of my PT-Boat build too. Thanks for the inspiration to try something different.

@@MA-iv7ol terrific news - I am a big Jimmy Stewart fan and have watched that film more times than I can count. The Spirit kit from Guillow is a good one. My greatest hope for this channel is to inspire others as I have been inspired by the works of so many modelmakers. Good luck on all of your projects mate

Great job on your Thunderbolt.

@@skyediamonds5654 same feller who built up that nice 400 series Mustang BBD? and the SE5 that belongs in an aerospace or WWI aviation museum? Thank you for viewing the channel and for the positive feedback on the Jug project. Much Appreciated

definitely not in my case - lol

I'm adding rivets along some of the panel lines..

she still needs navigation lights...lol

I agree with you. I was going to leave it as one piece even after making the rails for it - I didn't want to damage it in the process - but then I remembered that its the little chances you take in life that make living more...fun. Besides - Guillow sells all of their canopies as spare parts so I could have remade it if I stepped in something. Thank you for staying with the project and posting your support. Much appreciated

Thank you for the encouragement and for viewing the channel - very much appreciated

no worries - thank you for relating one of those good life moments from your youth. Fun to relive those when the moments arise. Thank you for viewing the channel.
