Solomon Islands fly-in, with a touch and go on Henderson airfield (now Honiara International Airport).  If I'm free, I may take the F6F out for this...

Earlier this day I purchased the Gustav from Flying Iron. Once again a splendid module. This thing is tricky to handle on take off and landing as it should be. This one has heart and soul. 

by far, my favorite module for MSFS2020.  All of the FI modules are great!

Purchased it this morning. Without any preparations beforehand I did the walkaround, startup and a trip around Rhodes. Feels incredibly good! 

I got it right after release. It was a long wait, but the result is worth it I find.

Blooddawn1942 that's great! I installed the Premium package about a year and half back, and after optimizing it for my system it's been flawless. I switched from a RTX 3080 to 4080 with an AMD 5800X3D and it's smooth as silk with low temps to boot. I fly GA aircraft, not interested in airliners and jets for the time being.

When I'm not flying MP in IL2, I am spending a fair amount of time in my F6F Hellcat practicing my carrier landings and take-offs using the HDS app. There is a WW2 carrier app but the carriers are real low "fidelity" and don't look so good so the HDS app works fine for me. Gotta get some practice in while I wait for Combat Pilot (hopefully a good Wildcat will become available for practice too).

F4F wildcat in development by the talented guys over at Gotfriends. Looking forward to getting some carrier practice in VR before Combat Pilot!!

for something now, you could get the Flyingiron F6F.  That is a solid module.  Flyingiron is top notch.

But I do like the idea of having this little Wildcat

Been eying the F6F for awhile but I can never quite convince myself to buy it. I have the Milviz Corsair and truth be told, I don't fly it all that often. 

The Wildcat is one of my all time favorite Navy birds though, and I've loved everything Gotfriends I've gotten, free and payware so this one seems like a nobrainer!

Working signatures? What a novel concept!

AvAngel has a video out:

I really, really love the navigation kneeboard that can be pulled out. I really hope @Jason_Williams can make something from that, not only use it as a stand in for the iPad to configure planes, but really for a way to let us navigate the way it was done. And this hopefully in conjuction with various degrees of control assist, like level AP or HDG AP.

I find the presented model sightly bland, but a great starting point to make a geat and fun item for a combat sim.

Seeing that, I don't think we have to wait too long for modules with a DM to appear in MSFS. I mean, "they don't have weapons in that sim", yet already I can fire guns and drop bombs that actually splash when they hit the water...
