VEAO presented P-40F overhaul at Flying Legends, Duxford



First of all, it is coming along nicely.

EFM already "feels" veeeery nice.

Good roll rate, nice in the climb.



New cockpit textures look cool, all the modeled detail is nice.

You really see it's american like the Mustang.

Instrument layout as well, is very similar to the P-51D (a quick look around and you feel at home). Took me a moment to adjust to the engine management, again, as I wasn't flying the P-51D for quite a while. Thanks to the guys, for the quick tips and pointers.

Had a P-40F ride in Nevada with the Oculus Rift CV1, which was my first such experience. I have to say, I'm impressed. The ability to judge height is a real game changer and cockpit is a different thing in 3D/VR.

I felt crammed into the cockpit like never before. All the levers and switches really look like poking into the tiny space... well and "check six" is a real physical effort, as you really have to lean forward and look back, over your shoulder.



I was a bit overwhelmed by the hydraulic system modeling for the gear and flaps. The hardcore simmers out there will love this. Direct the pressure to the correct circuit, unlock gear, activate pumps... aaand finally use the hand lever to pump it into locked position!

All the bells and whistles.



Can't wait to see beta phase commencing... a nice and agile plane, that is a lot of fun to fly.



Well done guys. Keep things coming.
