Tomahawk coming along nicely

Jetjockey10 · March 29, 2019 at 4:08 AM

I can't remember all the improvements to the Tomahawk, but I know there are a lot of folks that probably learned to fly in one of these. Here is what it looks like today. I guess we need a few more paint schemes added other than the color of the paint stripe. I think the canopy opens at zero speed on the ramp and closes with first movement. I'll have to check that, I might be thinking about the Vari eze. Come to think of it, I think I may be thinking about the DHC-1 Chipmunk canopy that opens at zero airspeed. duh.

Hello Ray,

Good to chat with you again btw.. I am indeed one of the people who first experienced flight in a Chipmunk. I was but 13 years old and in the Air Cadets in England. That's why I have such a love affair with the aircraft, and even today it is my aircraft of choice in "other platforms." I asked Just Flight a week ago if they'd port it over to X-Plane, and they suggested not any time soon. Maybe I'll ask about AFS2 instead!

Great shots above, however that's the Tomahawk. Never had the pleasure of being in one of those, not that I'd say no to a flight in one!

It is VERY good to see third party aircraft in AFS2. I've spent a few hours looking at some of the ones from Mr. K today. I truly encourage him to keep up his excellent work. We're seeing the first baby steps of the third-party explosion here. I'm delighted. I also like the looks of the moving traffic that's being worked on. I still have massive faith for what this sim can become in the future with the right resources. Kudos to all those laboring away as pioneers, both commercial and freeware.

Regards

Kenneth

A Chipmunk would be great, a modest power aerobatic tail dragger with oil leaks, big rivets, lots of fabric panels and 1940s quality curved canopy panels - distorted vision. What is there not to love.

I had my ...first .... .... loop in one.
