Accusim makes it more fun. I like the P40 because it is fairly simple in comparison to the Accusim P47/Spitfire. I followed the checklist and went by the numbers and didnt break anything. I tried some spins and barely recovered just 1000 feet above the ground. I have the realism sliders at max, so with full opposite rudder i could barely break that spin. Nonetheless I like the way it flies. I made a nice landing, not to hard, but the engine stalled on taxi, i kept the throttle to about 10-12% but ill use more next time.

Not sure how realistic it is modelled, but I recall that the real P-40 had an issue with engine cooling on the ground. They could overheat during a long taxi because not enough air was going through the radiator. The pilots would basically start, taxi out quickly, and get off the ground as soon as they could.

What part of "Accusim" do you not understand ? Cheesy

Sorry, I'm one of the biggest Accusim fanboys out there.

The P-40 will overheat, but not as fast as the Spitfire MkI and MkII.

Got bloom ?
Got mountains ?
Got damage ?

Cool

"Oh! I have slipped the surly bonds of Earth and danced the skies on laughter silvered wings. Sunward I've climbed and joined the tumbling mirth of sun split clouds.....and done a hundred things you have never dreamed of.....wheeled and soared and swung high in the sunlit silence. Hovering there, I've chased the shouting wind along and flung my eager craft through footless halls of air.

Up, up the long, delerious, burning blue I've topped the wind swept heights with easy grace where never Lark, nor even Eagle flew. While with silent lifting of mind I've trod the high untrespassed sanctity of space, put out my hand and touched the face of god"
