Hello,
The Dewoitine d501 is available in version 0.9 on the website of the "Royale French Navy".

Some screens ..
It is still incomplete due to the lack of documentation on certain specificities but we are still looking for.
The D500 family represents what was best in the early 30's in terms of fighter in France. Compare with the Boeing P26 Peashooter contemporary and you can get an idea of the talent of its designer Emile Dewoitine.
The flight model of JP Bourgeois is very realistic if one refers to the data of the time. Powerful and lightweight, with a fixed pitch propeller, no flaps, it's hard to slow down to get the landing speed. It's true to reality. Plan for a final approach of 140/150 km/h for a landing at 120 km/h.
Consult the summary documentation in French. If you do not read French, any translator will get you out of trouble.
The selection of the weapons is carried out, round counters are active (500 for the machine guns and 60 for the canon), keyboard command for shoot = arming spoilers.
The modeled instruments (gauges) are consistent with the real ones.
Fuels tanks are selectable : all, center or wings (left and right simultaneous) so are the tank gauges (center + right tanks or left+ right tanks).
The work is still in progress, the complete D500 series is planned.
A regrettable omission has been made in the documentation. The model uses Doug Dawson's formidable sound management module.
