The VTOL Jet You Didn’t Know You Need! | iniBuilds Dornier Do 31 | Full Flight Review | MSFS

Great aircraft ! I wish they also did the Fairey Rotodyne :)

From a cold start my aircrafts hover engines are locked open, how do i close them? I tried just taking off from a hover then clicking the button to disengage it but it stays open, how come?

I literally have no idea what you are talking about, but I do really like your vids :)

What's the name of the German song you added midway through? Great video and a unique aircraft!

The German VTOL Fighters of that time are super interesting as well.

You should be playing the "Erika" song while flying this.

Reichsfuhrer John Smith has arrived

The aircraft probably pitches during the transition from vertical to horizontal flight because of the vectoring nozzles on the main engines. Obviously, it depends on the relationship between center of thrust (CoT) and center of gravity (CG), but generally speaking almost any tilt-jet is going to have this tendecy. Basically, any angle between vertical and horizontal on the thrust vectoring is going to cause some sort of pitching moment because of a misallignment between the CoT and CG vectors that ideally? should be mitigated with thrust differential and PID control if possible. Not sure if the Do 31 has this complete ability. As for the rolling right tendency I have no idea. Anyways cool demonstration video!

Looks like a cartoon character

It would be way better and more appropriate if you did done this with helipads.

A truly wonderful aircraft that just doesn’t cut it. Inibuilds ego is too unhealthy, and falsely resembles authenticity through their undercooked work.

Hardly a thing from them seems to work on Xbox, which is not a good for a community that is passionate for wanting quality representation of products.

Genuinely I’m not appreciative for them as I once thought.

FLASH!! ... ah ahhhhhh!! ... despatch war rocket Ajax to bring back his body.
I believe the space version came with Emperor Ming stuck on the front.

awww the best chubby vtol, the spike on the nose, so great

It was harder to set the flight controls on the flight stick then it was actually to fly this thing.

Really happy to see an aircraft that stands out from the others.
Shame there's not really any ground equipment. It's not exactly necessary but I do quite like it for screenshot purposes.

Also the Dornier Museum is well worth a visit if you're ever near Friedrichshafen.
Can easily combine that with a visit to Lindau or Immenstaad am Bodensee for some dinner / drinks at the shores of Lake Constance.
Ah yes, travel tips under a flight simulation video me. Just where they belong

Mustard made a nice video about this unusual aircraft, best to check it out for some history 101 with the Do31 before watching ini's tutorial or this on how to fly it

The gear seems too stiff when it lands.

Another plane from the past!Instead of some 737-200, 727, 747-200, DC-9...these relics keep coming out! Free or paid...Thank God, there are people who have resurrected these FSX ones, but gentlemen! Finally, could someone develop some "view from the tower like in FS2004 or Fsx?! My opinion!

This plane is ridiculously beautiful and I had to buy it. It was inexpensive, so just had to add this incredible machine to my rapidly filling hangar. It is an amazing design and the ergonomics/visibility of the cockpit are remarkable. This is one powerful bird!

There is one in munich

There's one DO 31 on display near Munich. Been there dozens of times in my childhood. Never imagined i could "fly" one in MCS... simply amazing!

There is also one Aircraft Displayed in the "Flugwerft Oberschleißheim part of the German Museum in Munich. If you like to see it live and in Real.

Weight and balance for the LOAD position must be a bit of a nightmare.

This pointy little bastard has TEN ENGINES. No other modern aircraft has needed a dedicated flight engineer more

The minute the word Inibuilds is mentioned it’s an absolute NO from me. Terrible developer.

Hello sir! Great video as always.

I have a funny story about this airplane. When I lived in Southern Oregon, I met the test pilot Dornier hired to fly this beast.

His name was Drury Wood and he was from the golden age of American test pilots, WW2 Navy vet flying corsairs then post war civilian test pilot.

We hit it off as I am a long time aviation guy and chatting further it was evident he was very proud of working for Dornier on this project. I believe he flew it at the Paris and Farnborough air shows around 1969 1970 ish
He was in his late 80s when I met him and one day he showed at my work and gave me a bunch of photos and a video dvd all taken during the project.

After seeing this AC for the sim I need to dig them out of storage and have a look again at them

Small , small world

Another great vid.. Absolutely awesome to see this flying from all perspectives... Would love to have a crack at flying this amazing machine. Like you say a few issues but overall a great package... Thanks again for a great vid.. 👍👌

why is the left stick canted toward the left (as i would imagine it would so you can fly with your left hand leaving your right to manipulate the center controls) but the thumb pickle button seems shaped for your right hand. a bit confusing there.

Another interesting presentation.... Thank you for sharing your views on another aircraft... Really appreciated...Roger... Pembrokeshire..

I guess the odd trastion from vertical to horizal flight being weird is how MSFS handles stall it really seemed like it though you were stalling so it was dipping your wing.

Captain Ted is there water running through those engines like a newer VSTOL would have? Or air cooling only?
As usual awesome well documented, well read easy to understand for us low hour pilots you make it seam so easy and it's NOT an easy plane to fly by any means! Again Great video your a blessing and as others have said should have watched this video before attempting to fly such a complexed aircraft. Ty sir id fly with you anytime

Sir, you are an exceptional aviator, and your experience shows in all your videos. 😄 The shot of your coming into land is so very reminiscent of the Thunderbirds-styled aircraft of the same era... and I think your comments are fair... hopefully IniBuilds will take note. 👍🏼

SO COOL to have such an uncommon aircraft in the sim!

Unique aircraft, great to have it in the sim. As always your presentation is well done, thoughtful, comprehensive, and …fun! Really enjoyed the video,thank you!!

I have seen the real plane. It looks quite interesting. Would not have guessed that it would get into MSFS

Great review, thanks. Loved the song during the cruise :-)

kind of needs a "Man in the High Castle" mission set..

Any chance they could be using a heavily modified helicopter flight model and the right hand wing drop is due to the left over rotor torque and tail rotor physics?

How do you control your view? Do you use head tracking and disable it when needing to click on something?

X-Plane could have simulated this aircraft much better. The FM for this in MSFS is laughable. If they uncouple the main engine vector thrust from the lift engine thrust, it would be a little better. Its nicely modeled though.

What is up with the weird artifacting on the intakes?

Why they spend time and resource on those? There are a MILLION problems already to be solved into the sim... Maybe they´re just wating for the 2024 version to solve some, and than 2026 to sove some others, just as Apple does...

OH GAWD DARNIT, I promised myself to not get any new aircraft this month!!! Then they go and bring out this amazingly odd and wild machine. That nicely done an most likely very accurate flight deck is likely due to the fact the actual machine still exists. They do need to soften up that landing gear as there appeared no compression at all. The visual model though is really well done. Gonna let some time to go by before getting it, but I will be getting it. I love odd ball aircraft like this.

What's making all that noise when you flip the battery master on? It sounds like she immediately starts spooling an engine?

Sail drift must be the kinetic of lift, pushing you down and to the right, not like a stall, like a kite

I absolutely love your videos. They are so immersive. Please keep up the awesome content. PS - would love to see some more flying in South Africa some day. 😊

Ugly airplane , I like the song , what is the name of the song 🎵 ? It’s good when I will fly the Messerschmitt ! 😂

How does it compare to MV-22B Osprey?
