P51 flight

[ZK-MAT]

I'd like to share a video of an experience that one of the Kiwisim IL2 guys had when in the USA last year - a flight with Stallion51 in Orlando Florida. Shane / Jaster was on the controls for most of the flight including the landing, the set up is awesome, with multiple cameras and voice from the pilot, Shane and ATC. Original KiwiSim Post

It's 45 minutes long but worth the watch.

I do like the atc and comms and camera angles. Real immersive, Yeah the comment at the end regarding the landing (43:25) was awesome huh. I feel I am taking someone else's thunder but I'm sure sharing this is all cool.

Here's an excerpt from an email that Shane received when he enquired before his trip...
