BLC = Boundary Layer Control: Blower system taking air from engine compressor to blow upper part of wings and/or flaps at the expense of certain rather small percentage of engine power, to enhance lift during low-speed manoeuvres; manly to land on a carrier. Used in many carrier-based aircraft.
Love your vids, AvAngel! I couldn't believe this plane was added by an external studio, very cool. I'm glad you're all enjoying MSFS 2020, too, as my game has remained in a broken state, and Asobo has not replied to my refund request. Very crumby stuff on my end. Cheers!
The F-8E Crusader is such a cool plane. It’s ironic that for a fighter remembered as a gun-fighter, that it’s guns performance was poor. It’s interesting to see that the wing armament is Bullpup missiles.
Love your production AvAngel! I think for myself personally, for a Vietnam era warbird? I will wait until an awesome developer will bring about a Phantom II GR. Well done on this review though ;) you got a Hotzoner Thumbs up! ;D
Nice review! And another money saver for me even though this is a nostalgic favorite from childhood model building and pre-astronaut John Glenn setting a cross-USA speed record in the jet. There are so many good planes and not enough time to fly works in progress (exceptions allowed). If it gets better I may buy it anyway for the look. Thanks again!
I'd say that MSFS's "speed cap" is a major problem. I remember flying every kind of aircraft known to human kind in FS2004 and FSX, at speeds ranging from walking speeds to near-orbital velocities. Now I can't do that? What happened?
Can't wait to see you review of the Aeroplane Heaven Spitfire. I've always been disappointed in their sounds, and I'm already cringing in anticipation.
Great review and totally agree with your opinion on the Crusader . Was disappointed myself , being a fan of the Crusader , and 34 euro was a bit " steep " for a Crusader with Airbus 320 engine and internal sounds . The aircraft has top notch interior and exterior modeling . Great landing , by the way . Myself and others are having trouble getting the Crusader to slow down on certain runways , it can be impossible to stop . Maybe we need arrester wires on the runway !!
Very nicely done model, looks utterly gorgeous. Texturing looks fantastic, like you Rachael I have a issue with the sounds. They sound pretty good but no change when canopy open is a problem and the big one is that rattle! I’ve flown a lot of older aircraft for heritage flight, bringing aircraft to and from mostly Duxford and if I took off in an aircraft that rattled like that I’d put it straight back on the deck and walk away. That level of rattle usually indicates somethings about to fall off! Nope, nope, nope not flying that thank you very much. To compare I have flown a fully restored Phantom and there were hardly any rattles even when banking quite hard. Heck I’d have issues with a WWII aircraft that rattled like that, so that’s not very impressive But the biggest issue has to be the price, it’s insane for what is ultimately a take me up and play aircraft and not a full systems simulator. Just not worth the money. I think your rating is fair as the level of detail and soundscape whilst needing work is pretty stunning but has to be dragged down by that price. Btw do you know why developers have chosen to limit the speed of supersonic aircraft? Is it a limitation of the sim? A brilliant review as always, you are extremely fair and do the review in a way to be entertaining and informative Love you Rachael - 🏳️⚧️🏳️🌈Katherine🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️
After this warbird would be interesting to have you try DCS World. Especially the Tomcat though its price of entry at $70 US is high its an amazing plane in the sim.
I agree with you don't hold your breath and a couple things I dislike are that on Xbox aircraft are not allowed to have weapons of any kind which to me is stupid and also getting quality aircraft worth purchasing is notoriously slow been waiting for weeks for great aircraft on the market place only to see more airports and junk aircraft that are not worth the price in my opinion .Plenty of great aircraft options for PC little choice for xbox users like myself .
The Hawker Typhoon is a much better buy and is very fast,so much so that it can easily get ahead of you.It normally runs away with me leaving me lost unless I have a flight plan loaded....................................
Different time period, It's not always about what can go how fast, It might be a bit overpriced, but I love the vintage vibe here... its what really keeps me intrested in it... cruising high over nam listening to CCR :D
Visuals look like the only good thing about this (and the dev's awesome first name ;). Loose the stock airliner sounds and fix the flight/systems model if you're going to charge €31. ... and add the XBF8U Crusader III. I'd pay €41 for one of those modeled well.
Very disappointed: the noise of the J57 is not realistic, no black smoke specific to the engine when it is not using the combustion station and the technical compressed air starting group is not modeled. Nor the RAC for that matter
How about Microsoft putting more quality aircraft in the marketplace for us console users , the choices now are bare bones , every update to the marketplace I hope some high quality aircraft show up but last update on Friday another disappointment , more airports and junk aircraft not worth the asking price , Why is it taking so long to get aircraft for us console users of Flight simulator .
Because things are too complex for the console systems, number of devs have spoken out to how ms is limiting what they code for console market in many aircraft and there isn’t a huge pool of aircraft out overall yet.
I just luv when I can open and close things pre flight. It's the little things that separate the chickens from the hens.
I'd rather have drag on the landing gear ^^
Served four years on an aircraft carrier. 🇺🇸
My personal fave jet fighter.
As someone who used to play flight simulator a lot. I love your content. Keep up the good stuff.
Thank you so much :)

AGM-12C Bullpups to be exact
Nice landing!
and ...I love your voice! 😍

Butter landing by the way👏🏼
BLC is boundary layer control, it blows warm air over the wings to help the boundary layer stick to them
More you know!
Awesome ! Can we have a Mig ? Then we get to hear Comrade AvAngelski 😂😂😂😂😂😂👍🙏🏻👨✈️
Da! I hope so too!
Another great vid.
I am waiting for the Concorde SIM.
Love to hear your views on it.

Honest review....very well done.......young lady.
Appreciate it!
I'd say that MSFS's "speed cap" is a major problem. I remember flying every kind of aircraft known to human kind in FS2004 and FSX, at speeds ranging from walking speeds to near-orbital velocities. Now I can't do that? What happened?
i think its more something they haven't worked on yet... but i exect it gone with the topgun dlc. Right now most that go faster are workarounds.
what finally turned the beeping off? I can't seem to reset it and i've been through everything
The F8 is one I was looking for, Number one want is a F 104
That landing was soooo gud.... !
Thanks :D
Oooh a classic! Niiiice!
hehe, If you ever get this one Geode? You KNOW i will flank you with the 14 right? It's just so natural :p
I'm hearing that this F-8 can fire missiles in MSFS but they can only be seen from the cockpit view. I cannot confirm.
Love the Crusader, there are two on display at my home airport, might have to get this one.

Think it might want arrestors! i found coming down to 185 on approach, 150-60 over the threshold and it does slow as long as you land flat.

Yeah was to me too, deffinately lacked on the sound front and the creeking too loud, engines too quiet etc.
Thank you very much for your video
You are welcome
Ohh my f8 crusader a perfect aircraft to defeat 50 tanks
While the f5 jet fighter will air cover
After this warbird would be interesting to have you try DCS World. Especially the Tomcat though its price of entry at $70 US is high its an amazing plane in the sim.
I want this jet on Xbox but I’m not holding my breath🤣 took god knows how long to get the F-14 Tomcat and the F-15 Eagle🤦🏼♂️🤣

Why is the pilot wearing a VF-84 ''Jolly Rodgers'' helmet and not a VF-111 ''Sundowners'' helmet?
I guess I didn’t notice that, nice eye
This is the guy that made the freeware rafale and m2000 for fsx right?
I'm not sure sorry.
Waaaaaait a minute.... 2:14 Air Conditioner controls...Auto and....Manuel? Whaaaat?
Manuels personal setting. 23.38°C
Beautiful, but a tad overpriced, especially as the speed is capped. Now, if I could fly supersonic that would be an entirely different matter!!
lol
Roland is is first Surname, Laborie is the Familly name.
what ever Happened To This Aircraft - Ive Heard No Other Reviews , have there Been Any Updates ?
Similar to other releases by them no updates
Does this have afterburner effects?
how do you not tailstrike this thing.
Let it fly off the runway rather than pull it off
isn't the engine sound exactly the same as the asobo 747??
sounds a bit yeah
Does it have a functioning tail hook.?
Yes
Wish they made it for DCS instead.

She sits a tad bit too low in the rear.
Very disappointed: the noise of the J57 is not realistic, no black smoke specific to the engine when it is not using the combustion station and the technical compressed air starting group is not modeled.
Nor the RAC for that matter
Roland is his first name.
There we go! Solid answer!
Typo...manuel/manual?
yes included.
i think the beeping was that, there s a women at the controls lol :P
Hey!
Lol, so no modelling of any aerodynamics at all? Madness madness, maybe as freeware.
Tbh it really looks meh. And it is much, much to low to the ground. Thanks for the review
It's probably good that fs2020 doesn't have combat, since you'd have a holes shooting down your Airbus. lol
And this is why I have multiplayer turned off :D It's as cancer as it was in the FSX days :D
The f14 and f15 look much better and fly to Mach 2 , also euro fighter isn't bad either

@@AvAngel Thanks for the explanation wasn't sure what was going on .
$50 Australian.Not interested at this time..
