I've never flown to Bembridge airfield in real life , but I went there as a car-bound civilian years ago. But I installed this and recognised the aerodrome instantly. As always, BBD has recreated it with stunning beauty.The amount of detail is almost distracting - I stopped there on today's sortie from White Waltham to the Channel Islands, but spent ages using the drone, just exploring. The other aeroplanes, the clever car registrations, the plane-spotters, workers, traffic. And The Propellor Inn even has a tough-looking doorman. On a Sunday lunchtime. The carvery is clearly extremely popular!
Thank so much, Rob. Another great vid and another great airfield.
Hey many thanks! It is incredibly detailed isn’t it! Love how they pack life into it. Did a google street view drive bye and it felt very familiar 🤣
The boys returning from a sortie would be happy with that landing! Well done Rob
Most kind of you sir!
Visited the airport myself a few times. As always, a very good rendition from BBD. I shall certainly be picking this one up. Currently flying the PA38 Tomahawk. Keep up the great work.
Many thanks! They really do always seem to nail it! Hearing really good things about the Tomahawk
BBD airports sre really nice. I would like to see airports of north England, Scotland or Wales too. This is an iconic one and will go into my wishlist. I have almost all BBD airports. I live in Switzerland and wish to do longer VFR flights, not only around London or in the south. Please continue to show us UK airports! At presents I like using the new Piper Tomahawk.
Flew several times into Bembridge and BBD have got it spot on ! I’m currently enjoying the PA-38 Traumahawk ! Nice video matey and one hell of a cool Spit ! 👊👍🙏🏻✈️👨✈️
Many thanks! Great to know you’ve flown there IRL. They really do always seem . ‘traumahawk’……love it 🤣🤣👍🏻
This scenery is fantastic - I spent a good few months flying in and out of Bembridge IRL in a Twin Otter - from experience the scenery is spot-on! Will be flying the Otter, Duke and Spitfire out of here a lot. Thanks for the review 👍
Wonderful, that is great to know. Many thanks!
Had Sunday lunch at the propeller a few months back its a pretty little airport. Definitely picking this up once on xbox
Fantastic! I bet it was good too!
I went in September 2021 and it looks excellent don't have any BBD airfields so this is something I'm very interested in buying.
Yes it’s a wonderful little airfield
Been flying the Spit V from Flight Replicas, FlyingIron P-38 and the Dakota. Been across the channel flying out of the new offering from MILTECH, AGL 9 in Normandy, Duxford and RAF Thorpe Abbotts by Wolfie. If BBD fan and appreciate the demo. Btw, the Spit looks better in Camo. Thanks again, Mike
Many thanks.
Great vid mate, what a beautiful scenery BBD have done can't wait to pick it up on the xbox, keep up the great work 😃
Many thanks, judging by comments from people that know the real place they’ve done a grand job.
@@Dreamsofwings your welcome, it's definitely worth the asking price especially with the details BBD add, yeah BBD do a grand job every time when I'm normally sitting or flying at Rochester airport I'm always comparing both sim and irl versions together and it's spot on 👌
Beautiful, as ever. My PA24 is currently touring Italy but I'll be back in time for the Xbox release!
Ah love flying in Italy! Have a great tour!
Cheers for a great video, good review of some really amazing IoW scenery. At the moment my 'go to' aircraft is either the A2A PA24 or the Turbo Arrow IV, not tried the Spit or the Hurricane, don't really fly 'war birds' much.
Many thanks! I am a big fan of that A2A Comanche too. What a beauty.
Another excellent video ..... with Sandown being my "Go to" on the I.O.W in real life, i really ought to give Bembridge a try next time i'm over that way.
Many thanks! 🍻
Flying the OV Bronco and MD 500. At the moment.
Both great fun!
Wonderful video! Would love to do some group flying but real struggling to find somewhere to call home! Does your community often run event meetups? This airport also looks Ace and have got it on the download!
Mank thanks! Yes there is a channel on the server so that people can organise group flights.
Flying helicopters and the spitfire at the moment
Great combination!
Bembridge looks fantastic, another wonderful Burning Blue addition. Have you any plans to have a look at and review the Aeroplane Heaven Hawker Hurricane?
Not planning anything in the Hurricane. I’ve bought a few AH aircraft in the past and not really convinced to part with money for the Hurricane although I know some people are really enjoying it.
Piston Duke by Black square
Very nice, beautiful aeroplane. Yet to try this MSFS version but it is on my list!
Well will most definitely getting this I flew in to this airport from Oxford London airport in the 80s in a piper aircraft hope burning blue do the other airport in isle of weight called sandown
Fantastic, that must have been a great flight! Yes mentioned Sandown in the video and it’s going to be coming out too!
@@Dreamsofwings yeah it was a good flight my friend owned the plane took about 45 minutes I am going to do it on msfs 2020 in the piper warrior from Oxford London airport to bembridge
Very nice! You mentioned “you could have a nice time hopping around these (BBD) places.” I reckon i could be tempted by a discount bundle. 5 airfields for the price of 3?
Sounds like a good idea!
They do a 20% discount off if you spend over £25, coupon code on their discord.
@@nealjohnson6746 Thanks!
Radiator doors weren't open 😎
Left them on auto, radiator door has two positions, manual or auto. You can use manual in a situation where you want to force them open, eg prolonged ground ops.
Scenery popping I believe isn't anything to do with terrain LOD. It's to do with the underlying mesh, I think.
Ah interesting. I’ll have to try it without the orbx mesh and see how it compares
@@Dreamsofwings, the Orbx mesh should if anything help alleviate it.
@@karlnixon5037 you would think so
I was the the the other day looks so good
good to know! Many thanks
@@Dreamsofwingsyour welcome
Ex BBMF, we always set 2 units nose up trim during Before Flight (BF) servicing of the spits. Just wondering why you set 2 down.
Ah it’s a hot topic. I did a video recently using the BBMF MkIX checklist, having been lucky enough to visit the hangar and Spitfire sim thanks to AuthentiKit. I noticed the difference in trim setting and reminded me that a couple of years ago there was a debate on the Discord about it. The MKI & MkIIa that I flew for years in FSX and P3D all said nose down trim for take off. The manual for this particular MkIX in the sim also says nose down. Professor Google seems to indicate nose down if aircraft isn’t fully loaded, eg no ammo or drop tanks and neutral otherwise. I am sure there is a damn good reason why the BBMF use nose up and I have it in good authority that they aren’t the only ones who use nose up on modern restoration aircraft. I think the result of the discussion last time was that it is very much down to what the pilot prefers unless the aircraft is fully loaded. I like nose down partly from years of habit but also I like how it causes an effortless lift of the tail on the take off roll so tail comes up, continue to roll on mains then lift off.
It seems we set trim up regardless of pilot preference as they all got the same BF trim setting, they must have been taught to take off in this config from the start. It worked flawlessly for them though, we were never asked to set any other trim. Interesting point though.
PS have you seen the realistic tree height mod? Ventnor seemed to be buried in trees, I just wondered if this mod would make a difference. Keep the vids coming (especially warbirds), they maintain my sanity while I'm without a PC. 👍
@@coxy5850 oh it’s definitely sop with the BBMF. I wonder, and this is possibly clutching at straws, if it reduces stress somewhere or perhaps has been proven to be safer. Would be interesting to know. I do practise with trim nose up since visiting the BBMF as it’s worth being able to do it.
I’ve seen the tree mod but I use Rex Accuseason for trees and have the height set to medium. There is another setting to reduce tree density in ‘citys’ so not sure if that would extend to Ventnor but I might take a look.
Many thanks for watching sir! 🍻
Start flying the Hurricane mate! All the spits are making my eyes bleed. 🤣🤣
Nothing has convinced me yet to buy the Hurri so……I’ll stick to the others lol
@@Dreamsofwings haha. It pains me to say it, but you are right mate! 😞
@jamesfoster7775 🤣
Much as I like BBD airfields I find they are overpriced when compared to other add on airports.
Best tenner I’ve spent this week!
I guess I am still used to the old P3D scenery prices! Seems quite reasonable to me, they do put a heck of a lot of work into meticulous research.
@@Dreamsofwings yeah I’m not saying they are ridiculously expensive or unaffordable (they are only £15 ish) I just think compared to other offerings (much larger, more complex airports) they don’t offer as much value for money.
