Today we're taking the fantastic P-47 up for a low level aerobatic display in DCS. I think my last DCS videos were just way to long, with startup - shutdown plus the ground view I always end up at around 35 - 45 min. I thought this time I try something different and make a much shorter video with just the ground/"spectator" view. I would love to hear from you whether you like to see more videos like it, if you would like to see an extra video from the cockpit or if you don't like this format.
Over the last few weeks there haven't been a lot of releases in MSFS that got me interested so I spend more time in DCS. There are however quite a few planes on the horizon in MSFS I can't wait to try out and make videos with, like Azurpolys Bronco, Tukans Ford Trimotor or Aeroplane Heavens Hurricane and Lancaster and there are also still plenty of older addons I would like to feature on the channel.
When it comes to the P-47 in DCS, just operating the big Pratt & Whitney R-2800 engine is a lot of fun. When it comes to flying it, it's not the hardest aircraft in DCS, but among the WWII fighters it's probably the most challenging when it comes to flying an aerobatic display. You can really feel that it's a heavy aircraft and it's very easy to run out of energy after a couple of maneuvers. It's very sensitive in pitch and if you're not careful and pull slightly to hard you'll bleed of a lot of airspeed. It also requires more rudder inputs than the Mustang for example, if you're not using it enough, you'll also be out of speed and altitude quite quickly. Which can make flying low-level aerobatics with it very rewarding...or frustrating depending on how you're doing.
There are still a lot of things I need to improve when flying the P-47, especially vertical rolls, but I'm really enjoying it so far and thought it would make a fun video. The routine includes loops, a cuban eight, inverted half cuban eights, rolls, barrel rolls, vertical rolls, a 4-point and 8-point roll and wing overs.
This video features my favorite P-47 in real life, Dottie Mae. It was the last allied aircraft that was lost in the European theater, on the 8th of May 1945. She was flown by 2nd Lt. Henry Mohr jr. in a group of P-47s that flew low level over an Austrian lake when he clipped the water with his propeller and had to ditch the aircraft. He survived and was rescued by locals, but the aircraft sank 70 m (230 ft) to the bottom of the lake. Dottie Mae was rediscovered in the early 2000s and raised in 2005. She was bought by Allied Fighters in California and restored by Vintage Airframes for around 10 years. She first flew again in 2017 and alongside the razorback P-47 Bonnie that was restored by Aircorps Aviation and first flew last year, she is among the most authentic P-47 restorations in the world. Her restoration process was well documented on Allied Fighters Facebook page: / alliedfighters
I hope you'll enjoy the video and don't mind the experimentation with the video format. This is by no means the new format on this channel, but if you enjoy this type of video, it could be an addition to the other video format (full flight + ground view).
