Hallo
Does anyone here know the takeoff/landing Speed of the P38 Lightning? Unfortunately I couldn't find anything on Google.
Thanks 👍

Not sure that's usually specified for those old WWII fighters, probably all seat of the pants flying. Also, the flight sim models may not exactly match what you see on Google search. Best thing is to just test the aircraft yourself to see what its performance is. You can find the WWII training manual online.

OK
I found Instruktions on Google.
Will study these now.
Thank You
Take off? Don't know, perhaps flaps up and 'rotate' at 95-105mph? Watch YouTube P-38 training viseos.
From YouTube videos landing seems like about 110mph with flaps 1 and flaps 2 gets lowered 'over the airfield fence' with a touch down at about 95 to 100mph. The sim nose wheel is not easy to hold off, trim in PC helps!
I think the sim is prone to bounce the nose wheel with flaps 2, the gear attitude is not right at 95, perhaps getting it slower might help a bit? The possibly excessive nose gear oleo extension or possibly excessive nose oleo pressure gets the bottom of the vertical stabilisers very near the ground so the tail cannot lower all that much.
The top info bar displays speed in knots not mph, 115 mph on the P-38 instrument panel would be shown as 100 on the info bar.

A P38 airplane is a Lockheed P-38 Lightning, a fighter aircraft that was used by the United States Army Air Corps during World War II1, the takeoff and landing speeds of a P38 airplane are:
However, these speeds may vary depending on the weight, altitude, wind, and runway conditions of the aircraft.
Is this beauty coming to mobile?
Thanks. I’ve updated it.
Not sure if this works for mobile, but there is a freeware Piper PA-38 Tomahawk for Aerofly FS 4 you can download from Krzystof Kaneiwki's Github repository.
The screenshot shown in prior comments is probably the Just Flight payware PA-38 for Aerofly FS 2.
Here is Kaniewski's PA-38 for Aerofly FS 2 4
Works okay for the most part, just some minor issues.
