Frank Elton has relased a Bristol F2b Fighter Brisfit over at Flightsim.com. A nice model but no VC. :sad: Still I always appreciate his work.

Hi all,

For those who find the undercarriage a bit firm (lots of smoke from bouncy tyres), heres a small mod to the aircraft.cfg - a replacement [contact_points] section:

[contact_points]
point.0= 1.000, -12.000, 0.000, -4.117, 1181.102, 0.000, 0.519, 0.000, 0.436, 2.500, 0.817, 0.000, 0.000, 0.000, 0.000, 0.000
point.1= 1.000, 3.083, -2.917, -6.733, 1574.803, 1.000, 0.519, 0.000, 0.543, 2.500, 0.626, 0.000, 0.000, 2.000, 0.000, 0.000
point.2= 1.000, 3.083, 2.917, -6.733, 1574.803, 2.000, 0.519, 0.000, 0.543, 2.500, 0.626, 0.000, 0.000, 3.000, 0.000, 0.000
point.3= 2.000, 0.000, -17.917, -2.083, 787.402, 0.000, 0.000, 0.000, 0.000, 0.000, 0.000, 0.000, 0.000, 5.000, 0.000, 0.000
point.4= 2.000, 0.000, 17.917, -2.083, 787.402, 0.000, 0.000, 0.000, 0.000, 0.000, 0.000, 0.000, 0.000, 6.000, 0.000, 0.000
point.5= 2.000, -13.000, 0.000, 3.333, 787.402, 0.000, 0.000, 0.000, 0.000, 0.000, 0.000, 0.000, 0.000, 9.000, 0.000, 0.000
point.6= 2.000, 2.417, 0.000, -2.167, 787.402, 0.000, 0.000, 0.000, 0.000, 0.000, 0.000, 0.000, 0.000, 4.000, 0.000, 0.000
static_pitch= 10.097
static_cg_height= 5.612

The only lines modified are 'point.0=', 'point.1=', and 'point.2=', plus the 'static_pitch' and 'static_cg_height' lines. These last two adjust the 'drop-in' height & pitch to zero.

Otherwise, its another lovely aeroplane from Frank. His Gauntlet is one of my favourites.

Cheers,

Kevin

Thanks for that Kevin.

Don't get indegestion now with all the bouncing about - or keep diappearing in clouds of smoke and dust. Was a bit of a b****r if you forgot your goggles.

Now I know what a Bristol Brisfit is, but was wondering what is a 'Brisfit', i.e. where did the name Brisfit come from?

Joe

It was the colloquial term for Bristol Fighter (Bris-Fit) something along the same
lines as the HP 0/400 being known as "The Bloody Paralyser" I guess our
grandfathers had a sense of humor as well

I think Bristol Fighter was a more official name for the aircraft - from what I know, it was generally referred to as the "Biff" by the crews.

By the way, mine is still in development. I will do it eventually...!
