Anyone care to suggest the name for this bad boy?

If you’re wondering…the perils inherent in inserting a recorded flight with a replay tool into a “live” sim environment

“… four burning.”

Or as I’ve also heard it, "Two turning, two burning, two smoking, two choking and two more unaccounted for.” :slight_smile:

As long as it doesn’t start singing “Puttin’ On The Ritz,” we’ll be alright.

Give yourself 16½ extra points if you get that…

I think you may be referring to a B36D, which had 6 props but added 4 jet engines to the outboard ends of the wings. Hence, 6 turning, 4 burning. Incredibly slow, underpowered, short range, etc., etc., Fine for bombing Cleveland with a couple of 500 poud bombs but not much more :laughing:

(But the OP’s Franken-plane only has 4 turning on display)

Yup, unsure of that aircraft, but sure of the derivation of x number turning and y number burning…

That’s what I call safety and redundancy. Four wing, six engines. Radials and turbofans. The Dougbus 320-6 has it all
