I would guess that everyone has a period that gets their heart racing; mine's early 1900's. There isn't a lot of choice, but whats' out there is just fantastic.
For more than a year I've been pottering around in Jean-Michel Castagne's beautifully rendered Bleriot XI, Joe Binka's superb Antoinette VII and Rob Bruce's classic Bristol F.2B. And of course lets not forget Neoqb's wonderful Fokker Dr.1. :wiggle:
So imagine my joy when, browsing Simviation, I discovered more vintage classic's this past week! Jean-Michel Castagne has modelled the incomparible Farmon-Voisin, and Stuart Green (and the Nor-Cal Prop Club) have produced an Albatross D.III and the Caudron G.IV.
I'm in seventh heaven. :wave:
Now don't ask me if they're all full FSX models - I haven't a clue and really don't care. They work fine on my system without any bugbears and that concerns me.:icon_lol:
Horse power? Massive engines? Trim? Radio? Metalled runways? Who needs 'em! I happy just struggling into the air and having to concentrate hard just to keep the blessed things airborne. The lower and slower the better. That's flying to me. :rapture:
