    That is a very, very nice airplane. Coincidentally, I have quite a bit of data on that one...three views, cockpit photos...other bits too.

    I'm glad to finally see some others sharing my same point of view. Although I wouldn't want to tackle this one myself, I've been hankering for a few years now to see a developer (like Alabeo) produce a model of the aircraft (to me, this one would be a great candidate for having the same type of materials/look as the Alabeo aircraft, like their Gee Bee Z (i.e., the same type of fresnel ramp/specular/envmap style look) - of course other developers could get the same results if they wished).

    I thought Alabeo would make the Laird and the Hall Bulldog after the GeeBee..
    it just seemed a natural direction to take.
    In fact, there is a whole trove of Golden Age racers they could have mined and minted.
    GAS has looked in with their Mystery Ship..which is a fine model, but the Laird Super Solution
    is to me, the most elegant weapon of

    Scrub produced a 'Super Solution' for FS9 some time ago.
    Adequate if one were desperate and IIRC he ported it over to FSX but I'd have to check.

    Yeah...no.
    while it is a much better model than I could produce, it is not very accurate to the prototype and too outdated

    btw. the cover is interesting, LOL:





    Can't imagine the feeling of pilot to front view. Something like in Spirit of St.Lewis or worse :-).

    actually the pilot would have a great unobstructed forward and overhead view with his eyepoint just above the upper wing..the cutouts to either side in both the cockpit door coaming and windscreen allow for the pilot to peer out to either side on takeoff and landing approach..
    I can imagine a toggle view being used to access those views quickly as needed

    the landing gear stance on the old FS9 model are just...wrong and the cockpit is...also incorrect at best.

    We covered a few of these planes in our 1930's racing package.

    I am embarrassed to say I have somehow lost my Travel Air Mystery Ship pack!! I have searched every disk, drive, folder and my email archives...nada.

    I don't even know why it isn't in my FSX aircraft folder where it BELONGS.

    talk about a Mystery.

    where's me wallet
