I don't think that this one has turned up on the board but if you're looking for a classic French GA 'plane you could do a lot worse than the Robin DR221 - its a real treat to fly.
You'll have to work your way through the French on the web site....

Looks good John, how is the panel?

Well, its fairly simple but it is a simple a/c.
VC is fully flyable - I haven't used the 2D panel.
Only downside is that the instruments are calibrated in metric kph, metres / sec ascent & descent and so on. Altimeter is in feet, though.

Hi John,
Yes its been around a while but still a fantastic model. I think it was featured in PC Pilot a few months ago and was included in their cover CD.
I might just re-install that one.
