Those Amazing Men in there Flying Machines!

I just installed P3D 3.4 Academic and had to uninstall 3.3 Pro that I had been using with a developers license and was testing it out and I thought With everyone else posting galleries of screen shots I though I might get into the act also. All the aircraft pictured here are from before the Great War, all are freeware and can probably be found on Flightsim.com, but I can't guarantee that.


Antoinette Type VII


Curtiss No. 2


Bleriot XI


Fokker Spin


E.A.C Eastbourne Monoplane (Classic Wings)

All shots taken on P3d. The scenery is the isle of Jersey via ORBX England.

Nice one Joe

I have a couple of those (Bleriot and Eastbourne) and a few others which don't get air time anywhere near what they deserve. I'm too busy buying payware models that I fly twice and stow away

The Curtiss is a lot of fun. I spoke with its creator after he released it. He said that the pilot was modeled after his grandfather, or was it his great grandfather? Any way the old boy actually flew a real Curtiss back in the day.

Thanks!

The Eastbourn and the Curtis are the ones I like the best, they both fly fairly well. The others fly like you would expect an AC from the time, meaning they barely fly, and will probably go out to the mothball fleet soon.

The curtis is basically an improved Wright flyer and when on the ground has no brakes or steering, and a fixed nose wheel, so make sure you're lined up cause until you're in the air there are no turns.

Going out dear? Oh, just taking the Fokker Spin for a, umm, spin. Can I can come too? Err...

Interesting, the creator of the Curtis model named it after his (great) grandfather rather than what Curtis called it, which caused some whaling and gnashing of teeth on my part is it did not fit in my organizational quirks, after some research the I figured the only AC it could be is something based on the No 2 of which only one was built, but its the only one I could find that resembled the model.

Motormouse, I think that was the Bleriot I was using, but can't be sure until I get home and can try it out, but will have to try out the Farman.

I tried the Demoiselle but since it did not have ailerons so it did not fly very well, so I did not keep it.

I went to try the Farman from your link but Norton deleted it before I could open it, guess I did not need it anyways.

[Motormouse]

Norton and their false positive!
