Glen spotted this... it's only £3 and to my mind doesn't seem so bad, Apologies if you've already seen it.

Browsing the site I see that there is a First World War pack available for £18 featuring a Sopwith Pup, Avro 504, Nieuport 17, Fokker DR1 and a Zeppelin. Does anyone have it & is it any good?
At under £4 per aircraft I guess you can't complain but there are decent freeware versions of some of them around.

I like the Magister a lot in FsX but be wary of the Polikarpov on the same site a little lower down. In spot view you're placed about a half a mile from the aircraft. Ctrl/- gets you there eventually but the self shadowing detail is jagged as if anti-aliasing were turned off and then magnified. I've e.mailed the vendor and hopefully thete will be a fix soon because it's nice to see an I-15 bipe for FsX.

can't that be fixed with AFCAD (by setting aircraft radius value)?

Hi Mate
no Sadly you can't set the model radius in afcad for a pure FSX model. (xtomdl.exe compiled)
someone is working on a way to do it but it will need the source files.
Regards
Rick

It's an offer you cannot refuse hehehe I bought it for just 3£ . I don't know yet how she flies and how she is ( this evening I'll fly her and revert) but the price was too low that I bought the Maggie just to help them!

mistery ship:)

in my FS2004 dowload the propeller turns free and don't stop at all with the engine cut off and no flaps are installed in the Magister. I sow a youtube Magister movie landing with flaps at Old Warden.Did the Magister have flaps or what else?
thanx
