The whole 'MUSTANG' video features an era when I used nothing but MS FF2 and its FOV for situational awareness. Twist rudder control FTW hehe. Nowadays I do use rudder pedals (SIMPED F16 USB) in combination with TiR 5.

I do have to comment on that - with TiR it is actually harder to spot contacts at longer range. Or it just might be be my age and leisure since I am flying bombers and lack the aggressiveness of the old days when I was flying fighters exclusively... Go figure.

IMO the trick lies in trimming her.

Someone made a German AI in a P51. This is an a/c padlock from the AI POV
One gets a fair idea of the scenery detail, even with this movie where the resolution has been reduced about 2.5x from the original.

I finally nailed one (1/2 speed vid)

Nice thing with the recording is that even the sounds slow down, so you're hearing gunfire and other sounds at 1/2 speed as well.
