The wind screen flickers. I think you have the inner and outer glass too close together.

The canopy scratches are done very well. But...I think they show up a little too much. Sure there are times when the scratches are evident, such as in certain lighting situations. But if my canopy looked like the one in the sim I would have it scrapped. Also, the scratches would only be visible as bright streaks not the black scratches we have now. And the ship looks a little like it has been outlined in a charcoal pencil under cloudy/rainy conditions.

The 3 degree profile is completely arbitrary and made up (it may have to do with the performance of the B707 on a single engine...but probably not). It's about 500 fpm at 100 kt. Although widely used, it has little bearing on how planes actually fly. I routinely fly, in real life as well as in the sim, slightly high on the profile. I prefer not to drag her in on the prop. Each airplane is different of course. But pulling power is not going to hurt anything. The "shock cooling" thing we were taught back in the old days is pretty much just a myth. I believe a few jump schools proved that a long time ago. As far as the real plane goes, I have never flown one. It does seem a bit sluggish on the ailerons in my opinion. The pitch is quite sensitive as well, especially the pitch trim. The 190 vs 200kt thing is simply not a thing. I am sure no two Spartans fly exactly the same. If the devs got her to within 10 knots I say well done. However, pilots all have different perspectives. I reserve the right to change my mind after flying her more. I only have a couple hours in the bird at this point. I do love flying the Spartan though. A big thank you to IniBuilds for this classic aircraft. Sincerely, Patrick private pilot, retired ATC

Click the upper right screw on the ASI gauge to hide the i-phone EFB. This would be nice to have in the documentation.

I read your post CF101. We stated almost the exact same thing. I have never flown a T-33, but I have flown a few other types. When Greg Colyer (Collier?) stated that the tanks would vent if all the pumps were selected, red flags were immediately raised. My suspicion is that his bird was once a Reno racer. At some point it had the fuel system "simplified" to remove weight and take care of a fuel feed issue. Here's hoping INI will fix this in the future. Patrick

Eagerly awaiting a paint kit and or some more liveries for FS2024

My new Favorite bird for FS2024 (until the P-40 gets updated 🙂

Also, in AN 01-75FJC-1, paragraph 2-11, page 20, Fuel System Management, it states that the normal sequence of fuel tank use is For J33-A-23 engines a. Leading edge tanks for starting, with fuselage tank bypassed. b. after starting, turn on tip, wing, and fuselage tanks with leading edge tanks off. c. Take-off on fuselage tank only, all other tanks off. d. Leading edge tanks for purging prior to stopping engine. For J33-A-35 engines and modified J35-A-23 engines a. All tanks on for starting and taxi b. Take-off on fuselage tank only c. All tanks on after takeoff

I have watched your excellent videos including the interview with the T-33 pilot. However, I think either he misspoke about the fuel system or maybe his bird has been modified in some way. According to the T-33A manual, AN 01-75FJC-1, dated 15 May, 1950, revised 24 April, 1951, the T-33A tip tanks, LE tanks, and wing tanks are fed into the main tank via a set of float valves staged at different heights. This allows the main tank to draw from the tip tanks first, LE tanks second, wing tanks third, and finally the main fuselage tank. Fuel does not vent overboard if all the tank pumps are selected on (see diagram figure 1-3, page 5). According to figure 2-1, page22, As the fuselage tank level drops, the float valves open in succession until all the tanks are emptied. The suggestion is to turn "off" the pump for a specific tank as it's respective low fuel alert light comes on. Another interesting note is the use of 100/130 gasoline in the LE tanks used for starting and purging during shutdown. I hope you guys continue to update this bird. She looks and flies amazing. Sincerely, Patrick "Zeagle" Duncan

A WWII pilot would be nice if you guys could do one. Even the modern flyers such as Kermit Weeks and others dress the part when doing airshows.

Hi guys, I absolutely love the P-40! Great Job! Please keep updating the aircraft. This is an aircraft that is very special to me and many others. We appear to be missing the emergency gear extension system which should be installed in the F. Kermit Weeks and Jeff Ethel both describe the emergency extension system in various P-40's. Also, we do not appear to have any control over external lighting such as nav lights, landing lights, and signal lights unless I am just missing something. It could be me. I only have a few hours in the airplane so far. Anyway, great job. I really like the integration of the modern radios and transponder. Very nice indeed.

I figured out the drop tank issue. But I still cannot show the engine. I have both the marketplace and the iniBuilds download versions.

Hi guys, I love the P-40! I bought the marketplace version. My tablet does not allow me to remove the cowlings to expose the engine. I cannot get a drop tank. Is this normal for the marketplace version or do I maybe have a problem on my end?
