If you downloaded the 2.2v thats the final

There are some nice little tweaks to her - Gary's sound, At the suggestion of someone at SOH I added the Nick's prop Dust file and added scrape points for the wing skids -- its one of those aeroplanes that you go and fly after driving something like the Viscount, or B727 that are so
detail oriented and just enjoy

I was piddling this morning and took this shot

A "Quirk" with escort at Old Warden

Hello Leif, its v2 from the pond I have, I just noticed the text referring to it in beta and wondered if there was more developments on the way.

Thanks for the tips, I've now added the scrape points fix, Gary's sound file and a replacement prop texture all mentioned in SOH etc and its even better. A lovely old kite just as it should be.

Actually reminds me of my old 2CV, it was as much old seat of the pants motoring as this machine feels like seat of the pants flying. Very Very Slow, but strangely a challenge to control well

Did you know the Alphasim FS2004 WWI Western Front scenery is freeware now? Plus there's an add-on from Simviation.

Something authentic to fly over (I have no idea what it looks like though )

He'd better come quick. LOL

Going by your shot Leif, I reckon even if Biggles has a kite up & on the way, the Eindekker's pilot will, if he had any brains, already have recognised that the BE2c has no guns and forced it back to his station pronto and now be saying "For you Flying officer Prune, zee var iss ofer, hahaha..."

Flying officer Prune

Surely Lieutenant (or as Hans would say, "Leutnant"), rather than Flying Officer. A Quirk-flying Prune would have been RFC or RNAS, not RAF.

Just as well for Hans that it is an unarmed Quirk, as even with with the limited field of fire from a front-cockpit post-mounted Lewis, he'd be a sitter in that position.

Another nice set of WW1 scenery, although more suited to a visit from Stuart Green's Sopwith Cuckoo torpedo bomber (sg_sopwith_fs2004.zip at http://www.avsim.com) is adriatic_14-18.zip (also at avsim), which has a seaplane base and an very impressive Austro-Hungarian naval base (think Scapa Flow enclosed by mountains) with Italian picketboats and French submarines lurking outside.
