The XF-11 from LordFrites’s company Flying Fries is now available for download from flightsim.to
I’ve bought and downloaded it for just under twenty-seven quid (£26.58, to be exact) of real British money.
Haven’t had a chance to try it yet, but based on the YouTube early access reports and the fun I had with the Scrapyard Monster, I’m not expecting to be disappointed.
Edit: Having now read the manual, I’ve changed the title of this thread to reflect the company name being used.
Looks very well done. A bit pricey for a first release but it seems to tick a lot of boxes. I wish the Lord of French Fries good luck with this one 
Headed to flightsim.to for purchase.
I’m violating my own rule about waiting a while to buy any new aircraft, but I wanted this immediately after watching a preview video.
Overnight flight from NYC to London, here I come.
It’ll take me about 12 hours, but I can do it on one tank of gas.
Same here, I figured those huge props would look great in VR and I was not disappointed.
Now to figure out the proper engine handling in regard to MP and fuel flow etc.
Managed to get her up to 42,000 feet before she ran out of go juice and flirting with stalling.
My butt shaker got a good workout from those huge piston engines…
Can anyone tell me if it has a Hobbs meter or another type of engine meter and if it has an autopilot (or will work with PMS50’s GPS AP)?
Not sure on the Hobbs meter but it does have a rudimentary autopilot.
Heading hold, pitch hold, alt hold.
Forty-four thousand feet over Germany.
Possibly a bit later than the USAAF would have liked, but I daresay it’s the thought that counts.
P.S. Don’t ask me where I landed, but the guy I saw as I came in looked a bit disappointed. I think he was waiting for a Starfighter.
Picked it up - the rich man’s version of the P-38. Amazing interior and exterior detail and rendering. The developers passion for this plane definitely shows - radium dials, visible wake from the high powered engines and double props, cockpit controls and switches - as good as any top plane in the marketplace. Definitely worth the money asked.
Surprised not to see more posts on this beauty. A fascinating-to-fly piece of history, with some well-crafted “what if?” paints. @LordFrites has done an amazing job with this, both visually and in the flying experience.
Well worth every penny!
Full agree with that, and the 1.1 update has just been published on flightsim.to until it’s available on other platforms.
Here is the complete changelog:
I don’t see much about this plane since the release, so how do you guys like it?
It’s solid! Fun to fly, feels accurate, and has an interesting performance profile given its intended use.
Might not be a lot of traffic because Lord Frites did a solid job on it so there’s not a lot to cite as needed fixes/improvements. LF is working on getting it up on Marketplace, so once it’s there I bet we’ll see more traffic about it.
There’s a nice video on it on Twitch, if you’re wanting to get a better idea what it’s like to fly.
Sounds great! Compared it to the P38?
I agree with is being worth it! Just had my first flight and had a lot of fun in the Mach Loop.
A video with clips from the XF-11 flight!
That had to be fun with the sloooooowwww roll rate of the XF-11.
Rudder, rudder and more rudder! That and don’t go too slow as it rolls better at higher speeds. 
Just using the ailerons at low speed is almost useless.
Flying Fries XF-11 is nice in VR. Ended it the Howard Hughes way. Note that it is pretty agile if you use a lot of rudder and especially when you fly fast!
I think this is a fan-tas-tic add-on with a lot of character and very unique. It certainly deserves more attention.
Holy cow!! It is now available in the in-sim market place!!
