After many MANY hours in the Sidewinder, I finally got my first taste at the Cobra

Cobra is really of a different caliber
I noticed in the video, when you checked the functions panel, that your landing gear was retracted which, obviously, is a bug, albeit a small one.
Since this is your video, you should submit it to the devs.

Classic tune!
When you went for the barrel roll at the end I was just thinking "If it were me, I'd barrel roll..."
Right on Commander.

The question is, to WHICH developer? This is a long known bug in the Cobra MKIII firmware. Whenever you reset or power off the landing gear would mess up and can even screw up your altitude calculations and your next hyperjump!
I noticed this as well and also that the landing gear was deployed in the external shots. It begs the question of what would have happened if you had tried to deploy the landing gear whilst in the hangar? Also is it possible to retract the landing gear once docked to get to this strange game state?
The other thing I was reminded about when watching the gear is how the external camera is somewhat seasickness inducing as it sways around. I hope there is a way to turn that off. I wonder what sort of camera they are trying to simulate with that effect, even a person standing by the ship wouldn't sway that much.
I noticed both of those two things as well... I think the hangar camera is there to make it less of a static screenshot type thing.... Can't say that I noticed the Landing gear issue with the Sidewinder.... Anyone?

Looking.. Thanks!
No joy. EMI MUSIC PUBLISHING and UMG apparently don't like me?

Lovely. Perfect choice of tune. I have to ask though; did the video cut out at that point because you ran full tilt into the Wall Of Death?After many MANY hours in the Sidewinder, I finally got my first taste at the Cobra
Yep
Unlucky. If it's any consolation you weren't the first and you probably won't be the last. I reckon it's deliberate, and that FD staff are secretly monitoring new Cobra owners leaving the station.
"Hey everyone, here comes another one... ooh, yeah, gently through the portal... don't want to scrape that new paintwork... now open her up... that's right... pips to engines... so predictable... feel that surge and... BOOST...! Now wait for it, wait for it...."
*** KABOOM! ***
"Yay! All together now... ♫ And another one gone, and another one gone, another one bites the dust... ♫"
Do you have ad blocking software on? Now that I've acknowledged copyright to UMG, they've slapped an advert on. By the way, I don't really know how this works
! I have the option to remove the music track, but that's pretty much the whole point of the video (Etta James At last) !
