And have been loving the Felix and the channel map.


Got off the water OK



I was able to fly around and drop bombs nowhere near a German ship.



Then despite what the picture says, I had less than a perfect landing.

I admit I found taking off from the water easier than I thought it would be.

I have yet to try landing, though, as I've not survived to attempt it!

Have yet to purchase its mods, so I can't say, but I'd like to know!

I imagine in the right hands it would be great for sub hunting and such, but all I was able to do was pump a few rounds into the channel.

Hey Zundap good to see your still around. I have the channel map and flex thingy and love it and also have all the weapon mods, It looks so cool with that added top turret and all those guns firing at once.

Hey Warbirds. It's winter and cold as ... whatever is really cold ... here so it's flying time. Have you been able to use the cannon on the Felix? I haven't figured out how to hit auto pilot, get to the turret, and keep the plane on target, but it sounds real cool firing it, and makes a hell of a splash in the water.

Yeah the gun controls take a bit of getting used to but once you got it down you can have a blast going from one gun station to another blasting away.

Looks awesome! Though personally, I'm waiting for the map to be added to career mode . . .

Try taking off in Felix with full fuel, bomb load, bucket gunner and a recoilles canon in the nose. Unless you know EXACTLY what you're doing with the step, you'll faill time after time smile Its hard, but great fun!

I don't have the mods yet, so that's likely why! On full fuel and bombs, though, it still was ok.

Yeah, without the mods the plane is light enough to make it easy, with all the mods fitted it becomes so deliciously heavy that if you do not use the step in the right way , you'll just keep on sailing till the end of the sea- Felix just would not take off. smile
