Hello.
I was just looking at the  IRIS A-10 Photos and comparing them to real life photos and the canopy seems to be quite bulbous compared to the fuselage. I'm just wondering why that is because It really looks grea but the canopy just pts me off. Is it just the pictures I'm looking at.
Like just take a few of the IRS a-10 and compare them to say, The DCS a-10. Was the A-10A canopy that big or is it just a blunder.
Thanks Huh
 

Most people think that flying a plane is dangerous, except pilots because they know how easy it is.
Arguing with a pilot is like wrestling with a pig in the mud, after a while you begin to think the pig likes it.

After comparing my & Iris' shots with real photos (particularly this & this), it's clear that the Iris canopy is slightly bulbous.  But don't let that put you off, this plane is well worth the (full) price. Smiley

Agreed.  A terrific bird to fly, lots of buttons to play with, and I love the (pre-recorded) combat radio communications you can listen to while flying your "sortie."   Cool
