    Not to my knowledge, but the FSX native versions should be fine there.

    Lost count

    With these models and from the other thread, the aircraft with floats, the night lighting and the Lewis gun observers, I've lost count on the number of models.
    A phenomenal effort....

    Initial Testing

    Many thanks, Roger - really awesome screenshots too. :-)

    Many thanks to old friends and new, for much appreciated support for what is now the culmination of 2 years' work.

    A team of good folk are now busy with initial testing of the 4 main models: AVRO 621 (Mongoose engine), AVRO 621 Tutor (Armstrong Siddeley Lynx), AVRO 626 Prefect (Armstrong Siddeley Cheetah), and AVRO - PWS-18 (Wright J-5).

    As soon as we iron out issues here, we'll do the same with the float variants, then hopefully move on to proper beta testing.

    I must pay very special thanks to Milton Shupe, for going way beyond the kindness of a dear Friend and investing what must have been many hours of coaxing me over the initial hurdles.

    And thanks, Pete Ham - that very special type of Real World biplane Friend, who is always ready with coffee and spiritual sustenance when you need it most.

    I mean to say .... a round engine, tail wheel, open cockpit biplane ..... it doesn't get any better.

    Mind you I am a wee bit biased
