Wish I could say: "Of course." Truth is, I crashed about a 100 yards short of the runway and turned myself into a crispy critter. I was a bit slow in realizing why I was suddenly losing power.

That's a nice shot that bring back some very bad memories of my very first flights with that plane in FSX Grin

Which model is that exactely ? How did you achieve the engine fire ?

I had a freeware P-47 with bubble canopy back in my FS9 days. It was beautifull with shiny metallic textures, it had a nice VC (from what I remember) and the flight model was really making it challenging to fly, especially for landing. For FSX, I had to wait for the A2A one, and since it had Accusim inside, you can imagine easilly what happened to my engine in the first flights Grin

Got bloom ?
Got mountains ?
Got damage ?

"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"

It's A2A's P-47-22. Haven't a clue as to what caused the fire. I keep a close eye on the gauges when flying that beast and everything was in the green during the entire takeoff sequence. The various cooler flaps were open, as were the cowl flaps. No possibility of a turbo overspeed. But, suddenly, the engine got rough, and things went rapidly downhill from there.

Probably the same thing that happened in my first flights until I caught on to the fact that, with Accu-sim, you had to pay attention and not just look out the canopy.

CHUCK79 and FoxThree, thanks. Glad you liked it.
