Aerobatics in the Spitfire? Absolutely! Full flight with Commentary (MSFS) 

Some days are trickier than others. It does try and flip me occasionally 😅

As a zero hour Spit pilot ( :D ) I do feel it's a little harder to fly out of the box than it should be - there is a point where adding stability makes things harder. Be gentle with the power, though, that is a honking big engine - somewhere around 11 C172s all in one aircraft I think - and torque will try to steer the aircraft.

Don't quote me on it, civilian aero pilots will probably call it something different again! lol

Thanks! I’m not always crazy lol 😂

I can definitely see why!

I'm definitely going to be doing more of that when the Tornado releases in a few months

My pleasure, always fun to share what I enjoy doing 👍🏻

My pleasure, fun to do!

Haha, I did see an F15 and wondered if they’d figure it was me! 😂 I switched multiplayer off at the end to make sure I didn’t get a rogue fighter jet in the pattern! 🤣

Ah... you make a very good point lol! Bail out on the ground then!

@@cgaviator Just off to fly the Spit at Duxford gamer handle Skyhawk61 north European Server 😎👍

Ever authentic! 😁

Thank you kindly, think I’m finally getting to grips with the bird!

Have you considered showing a tacview replay on your future aerobatics videos? I think it would help to better understand the more complex maneuvers (like the 3 dimensional ones).

@@Stefan.von.Bischhoffshausen that’s a good idea, I’ll have a dabble

Must have read your mind 😁

Lol… maybe! You’ll have to settle for my An225 shenanigans for now! 😅

Thank you kindly 👍🏻

Why thank you 👍🏻

😁

I’ve flown with canopy smashers (chisels). I’m not sure they could have been called trust! 😂

@@cgaviator If I had ever had to use it I can guarantee that canopy would have looked like a flock of seagulls scattering !

No need to prove anything - you’re absolutely right.

Absolutely my pleasure

Thank you kindly!

Thank you 🙏🏻

Thanks, I do really enjoy throwing aircraft around

lol, I know right!? Crazy idea!

And runway 02/20 is unlicensed too, so if you crash into one of 'em, tough sh*t! 😆

Cearnarfon (link in description) though never sure how to spell it! The Extra is exceptionally twitchy! Like Formula 1 aeros! Ref the flaps, absolutely. Though I always mention flaps out of habit from other aircraft. Nothing wrong with knowing an aircraft inside and out! Thanks for watching

@@cgaviator Ahh yes Carnarvon (several ways to spell it - my matriarchal ancestors were Welsh, French prior, and would be ashamed with my spelling, so no worries😇😄), I wasn't far off, I've visited both - I think I mentioned such before 🤔 Yes the Extra 300 is like an F1 car, lots of input to fly. My reactions are too slow now to fly all but a basic Red Bull type course, so I confine my activities to aeros in them. I love doing Knife Edges etc in them. Mind you "crop spraying" in a Pawnee with stall turns is fun too, easy to fly, not easy to fly well with a full load, it's acceptable to let the stall warning tweet a bit too😄😄😇 Thanks re the Spitfire knowledge - I was writing a novella with them in, so that helped too. Keep em coming👍😊✌️💜

@@musoseven8218 you mean the Pawnee in P3D sim or for real!? 😂

@@cgaviator Sadly only the sim version😄😇 I used to watch them crop dusting as a kid. I've only flown right seat in spam cans and left seat in fixed wing microlights - both a slightly different kettle of fish, but fun in and out of grass/farm strips.

@@musoseven8218 I’m almost tempted to install my P3D!

I did consider it but sadly it doesn’t quite do it justice.

Maybe I'll use it some more though some people don't like it or assume i've not made an effort in the audio department lol

@@cgaviator people who have never listened to liveATC or been in a real headset I guess 🤷‍♂️

@@whiskeytuesday true 👍🏻

I usually try and fit between the blades! 😂

You mean the An-225? That was probably me! 😂

@@cgaviator no,it was the single prop lumbering giant,I fly it but not like that.The response is slow so good anticipation is required,you're the man when it comes to aerobatics so maybe you can try it.Its only ten quid on marketplace which is an absolute steal............................................

I've tried VR but it's very resource intensive. And a faff when I have things I like to see on my monitor while I fly and record. I'm sticking with TrackIR for now

I agree. I will say and Im not sure why - even in the Varjo Aero Its hard to spot guys and you just get bounced. Unless you know where they are or expect to see them in a place you are doomed. Im not what it is about the clarity that does this since its meant to be clear on this hmd? @@cgaviator

@@gregprouse1173 no idea

@@cgaviator I’m thinking of getting the trackir 5. I’m actually into serious sim flying to learn as much as I can. I also like to dogfight and the headset is a royal pain in the ass. As a real world pilot do you think trackir compared to vr is as realistic and immersive?

I use head tracker to turn around. Though for the replay it closed itself but for me having to click to stop it stuttering due to a glitch.

You can click the canopy hoop in front of you to shut it, if you don't have head tracking or just don't want to look round. Anotherr of those QOL things like the electric fuel pump hidden behind the elevator trim...

@@Karibanu good point well presented!

@@Karibanu Thank you so much. You have saved my virtual life.

This is the, er, not so out of the box one! 😉 I’ll have to dig into the DCS model some more. I just think it doesn’t look as nice and I like flying locally.

@@cgaviator The cockpit looks awful after the FI one - the lighting is lovely though.

Thanks! I use military terms so an aero professional may argue. But Canadian break you roll then turn. Derry you turn roll then reverse the turn

@@cgaviator Subtle...!

Derry is horizontal a Canadian is a climbing turn

@@flightsimcentre9244 That makes sense, hence the Canadian "Break."

@@flightsimcentre9244 Terms and specifics may vary.. the RAF use slightly different techniques

Haven't tried that specifically but it spins pretty nice! Much better than a lot of others

Post editing having used a replay function 👍🏻

@@cgaviator Thanks for the rapid reply. I'm hoping having a 2nd window open whilst flying will be available soon. I miss that feature, it was great to have back in FS2004!

@@jayrermars8493 2004… a distant memory! 😂 2 steps forward, 1 step back 👍🏻

None for this flight! 😉 But I use Little Nav Map for VFR GPS routing. Or Memory Map and VFR charts if I’m getting really serious.

@@cgaviator Thanks man. Something would need to go seriously wrong to need a flight plan for this flight

Thanks 👍🏻

Lol, you're not wrong!! Thanks

Sounds like challenge accepted!? 😜
