I've only had chance for a quick look-see as I'm still tweaking my new-build and FSX but a very nice addition guys, thanks :thumbsup:

I've installed it, and am slowly coming to grips with it.

Thank you very much.

Dennis.

Nice aeroplane which I think will take me a while to master.
Has anyone on this forum actually flown a Wyvern and can comment on the FSX flight model.
To me it seems rather sluggish in turns and lacks drag with the throttle closed.

Dog, I based most of the handling assessment on comments in the 'From the Cockpit' book by Michael Doust. It wasn't the most nimble of performers e.g. a turn radius twice that of a Sea Fury although that may have been overcompensated in the model! There isn't a huge amount of drag with the throttle closed as the real thing had a fine pitch stop which wouldn't fine the prop below 28 degrees with the gear up so it's not the same as closing the prop in a piston and creating a big air brake. However if we do have any ex-Wyvern drivers I'd love to hear their comments.

Skip, I was basing the FDE on a heavy fighter that would not be as nimble as a Spitfire, much slower roll and fairly large turning circle.

Do I get to have the FSX WYVERN logo on my posts ?

Rich, sounds about right from all accounts. Feel free to copy the FSX Wyvern from my signature, or I can send you the link etc.
