Re: MacRobertson Air Race Anniversary...

Not sure if it works in MSFS because made for FS9/2004, but I uploaded G-ACTM the Miles M3 Falcon prototype to the SOH Library complete with long range tank.

Re: One Lucky Pilot.

There was one a long time ago at Llanbedr which left the MDC (Miniature Detonating Cord)wrapped around the pilots head, so very tricky to make sure its not triggered when opening the canopy. The initiators are on the RH side IIRC alongside the hinges. I should think its just a canopy change after t...

Re: DH Rapide braking and nosing over

Re: DH Rapide braking and nosing over

I have found a lot of taildraggers will nose over & wonder if the dimensions of the main wheel contact points should be amended by the angle of tail down, seeing as M$ aircraft .cfg info only designed for trikes. i.e. when making the model one has the fuselage datum horizontal, if you rotate the...
