This has to be a multi-engine! Thinking....

Thanks for the pic.

 

I guess nobody has nailed it yet.

 

Looks to me like an afterburner, and the rest like the underbelly of ........no idea.

I know what it is, it's a P-40 - which makes perfect sense being in Pearl Harbor

I don't think that's an afterburner.

 

Really looks like something twin engine though

The oil cooler/exhaust cowl flaps look exactly like a P-40

All im looking at pictures of the P40 underside and it does look like you got it . If thats the case i hope it has a cockpict ....

I have 1 discrepancy with the P-40, it does not have those "exhaust ports" on the underside of any REAL picture I have seen, the only one that look remotely like it is the A2A Sim, and those don't look like they protrude.

 

 

Edit: After looking closely it is very close, and if so I am afraid I have bad news, if it is another warbird it will likely NOT have a cockpit, which again means Microsoft wants this product to fail.

This is a model and then a diagram of a P-40, but here:

 

 

 

of course, most of the time, the lower cowling flaps cover over those ports, so most of the time we all see a P-40 we usually don't see those ports. tricksey :Thinking:

Another warbird everyone will say they won't buy then buy it anyway? Assuming like the rest it will have no VC. Waiting for them to offer something I care about to play their game again.

Looks like you guys might be right. I'm a little disappoint if that's the case. This will be number 3. Meh... They might as well just sell skins for the warplanes they have already, for a cheaper price.

this right here is what makes me think its not a P-40, I have not seen those vents on the aircraft, indeed the cowling looks right, but no ports

Here is a pic of the Curtiss P-40 Warhawk

I'm probably wrong, but from this angle the MS Teaser Pic. does not look like a P-40.

okay here is why I think it is a P-40 (probably B or C model)

 

See that rectangle exhaust port leaning forward in the following pic?

 

At first I thought the cowl flaps go over them, but they don't, I was wrong about that. The A2A model shows them well.
