Lightning Strike on a locomotive :)

Just a couple of pics from a recent sortie. Will start putting a selection of video clips together over the next few weeks. Currently loving this sim

Is anyone finding the Lightning is a bit of a disappointment?

?Not me. It's a lovely plane with an enormous amount of punch. The 'Lightning Strikes' campaign on the other hand... well, that gets rather repetitive. It was free though, so no complaints from me. ?

nope, a great addon plane.

Some of my best nights on dogfight servers were flying P-38. It actually performs better than I suspected. I avoid getting into dense fur ball. It seems damage model may have been changed. Originally horizontal tail plane was very fragile. Initially I think adversaries are surprised how steady and fast it is in turns.

Quite the opposite... I wasn't a fan originally but I was quite blown away by it in this sim... performs better than I expected. It was never supposed to have an exceptional roll rate, and it handles quite differently from some other planes - but it is shockingly capable.
