Flying The FW 190 [Not a COD Video or Movie]

[Jumoschwanz]

I think the microphone or whatever they were using was overwhelmed and is distorting badly, and that makes it sound much more annoying than listening to a vehicle with open exhausts in real life.

With better sound equipment I am betting that the video would have an entire different effect on watchers and listeners.

Wow - that acceleration is what I should expect! Note the get-go from standstill at part throttle. Granted, the plane is light but I'm sure it's not using "max" power, either.

In 4.101 a buddy of mine and I had a drag race (0mph to 100mph) between an overloaded Speedy-Dee (1600 pounder and full fuel, cowl flaps open) and an empty (empty, 10% fuel, cowl flaps closed) 190A-8 and the Speedy-Dee won. LOL.

It´s a Real FW 190???

But then again.. I've seen unloaded P51s take a lonnnnngggg time to get up

Yeah I agree, Jumoschwanz. I couldn't get past the first few minutes. I find bad audio to be more distracting than bad video and as such will backtrack out of a video quickly. I appreciate the effort, and am glad the OP shared it, but the sound did me in.
