First look (for me) at the Flying Iron Grumman F6F Hellcat in Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020

Today we're taking a first look at the Grumman F6F Hellcat in Microsoft Flight Simulator. This absolutely a "first look" - having only learned enough to start the aircraft and get it into the air. As you will see during the flight, I managed to kill the engine once (but not damage it), and then couldn't shut it back down after using CTRL+E to re-start it. Very odd, and I haven't found anything in the documentation about it. May have been a bug? (although I'm loathe to label anything a bug - it's usually something I've done). Anyway - lovely aeroplane, and great fun to fly! #msfs #msfs2020 #flightsimulator #aviation #flying #flight #simulator #microsoft #asobo #tobii --- Useful resources: My homepage: https://jonbeckett.online My flight simulation blog (subscribe by email for free!): https://jonbeckett.substack.com All of the functional procedures I have written up to get aircraft up and running in simulators: https://ko-fi.com/jonbeckett/shop The flight simulation community I founded (join for free!): https://virtualflight.online --- Resources I use to create content: Microsoft Flight Simulator https://www.flightsimulator.com/ Navigraph (charts, flight planning, and tracking) https://navigraph.com Copyright © 2023 Jeppesen.
