    actually those windows needed to be closed on takeoff or it induced instability which could lead to a crash on takeoff , the reason Merlin engines were never used is because the p-38 was turbo charged and would require a complete redesign to accommodate super chargers , that and the cost and availability of the merlin were slated to the p-51 .

    it‘s such a beauty … i was so happy to see it appear at the xbox store - and hell, i am not disappointed. she sure has to be tamed, but i guarantee that i will take her out for hours to learn how to please her.
    back in the days when i grew up there was a magazine called aeroplane (i am from germany), and my mum gifted me every single one of it. it covered all sorts of planes and famous accidents and everything. back then i felt in love with three planes: the dc-6, the a10, and … well guess.
    i am incredibly happy to finally own this plane, to fly it and to keep learning what it needs in the flightsim on my xbox.
    and i am happy to see someone else as excited as i am. keep on flying!

    "I could spend 4 hours in this plane" :-) My first flight - as with all fighters - was a blat around the Mach loop in VR using live weather. But the weather in that area is shocking, so it turned out my first flight was a brief look *up* at hills flashing past me then a climb on instruments up into the sun (I only fell out of the sky upside down once, I don't do IFR, I was impressed) then a play with the gps and the autopilot and a landing at Heathrow. My normal first flights are about 15 mins and give a 5 minute video. My first flight in this one was an hour and a half :-D (the video is on my channel if anyone wants to see my awful flying).

    Thanks for this Great video on My Favorite Aircraft of All Time! I'm retired, 69 years old and new to Flight Sims completely (as of June of this year) MSFS 2020 being my first. I have watched every Pre-Release video I found on this Plane hoping to get as much info on flying it as I could, and I am so envious of you guys to be able to fly anything you get into. As for my flying of the P38L, first, I couldn't even get it to start. I think I took too long on the checklist after starting the Battery, and it died, I don't know, even the AI couldn't start it after that. Also I knew that it had the pad somewhere but not where... Thanks for pointing that out, by the way. Anyhow, I have been spawning to the Runway and have successfully taken off and having a Great time flying but landing is a different story. 6 out of 6 flights have ended with crash landings of one form or another. I either come in too hard and bounce all over the place or too slow and stall. Just can't seem to find the sweet spot... I so hope a Tutorial Guide for this one comes out soon. I'll be keeping an eye out for it.Again, Thanks for the Great Video.

I have a Logitech Flight Yoke System, with a second Throttle Quad specifically for multi engine aircraft since I am trying to currently master the Baron G58 but my landing skill with it or any aircraft in the Sim, isn't anywhere near anything I can be proud of. Are there any suggestions for Controller Settings you can offer? Any Help you may supply would be Greatly Appreciated. Thanks!

    The later Allison engines as used on the P38 were about as powerful as the Merlin. The big advantage the Merlin had over the early Allison was the dual stage supercharger in the Merlin vs the single stage in the Allison. The later Allisons that were used in the P38 had much more effective forced induction making them pretty much equal to the Merlins. That is why they didn't put Merlins in P38. It would not have offered a performance improvement.

    No Merlin engines cause no need = the P38 has a turbocharged engine who fits perfectly well with the Allison engine. Merlin gets a mechanic supercharger. If we swapps the Merlin (with mechanical supercharger) instead of the Allison (with the turbocharger) you get the same performance. Maybe the Allison + turbo is better at high altitute.

    Plane is to slow. Top speed should be around 420mph

      That is True Air Speed (TAS) at perhaps 25,000 feet. The Indicated Air Speed (IAS) visible on the instrument panel would be about 290 mph Indicated Air Speed for 420 mph True Air Speed at that altitude. Re the ‘supercharger’ not being engaged, any time the manifold pressure is over 30 inches at low altitude the inlet charge is boosted.

      Turbos are throttle-engaged. Whenever you push the throttle past 2/3rds the waste gate begins to close.

    Complete waste of money. These modding companies should be working with eagle dynamics.
