Peter,

I put a 1st attempt Sopwith Camel FM in your folder.

I need you to check:

1 - Speed at sea level, 5000 ft and 15000 ft.
2 - Roll rate at full speed at the same heights, both left and right.
3 - Speed in dives where the plane sustains damage.
4 - Take offs. These are hairy so try Taking off with about 1/2 throttle or a bit more, throttle back as the plane veers to the right, correct with ailerons and then SLOWLY add throttle.
5 - Any other parameters you might think are important.

Thanks

Oh, I almost forgot. Turn engine overheat off. It doesn't work properly for WWI planes and since we're past the stage of editing the exec, it's just going to have to be a note to users.

R31 and R32 class

The R31-class included two British rigid airships, R31 and R32, built in 1918 with wooden frames due to wartime shortages of duralumin.

• R31 was deployed for naval patrols and convoy escort duties. It was stationed at East Fortune in Scotland but suffered severe water damage while moored in bad weather. The moisture warped its wooden structure, making it unsafe to fly. It was decommissioned and scrapped shortly after the war ended.

• R32had a longer postwar career. It was used for training and experimental missions, including aircraft interception trials and docking experiments. Despite its innovative use, the wooden frame remained vulnerable to environmental damage. R32 was retired and dismantled in the early 1920s.

In case there is interest and not only Germans can have this type of airships.
If there is interest, I can make a small list with images of many other medium and even small airships that were there.

Right now there's only one model but it is easy to resize it and then reskin it to represent an allied airship.

Peter,

I put a 1st attempt Sopwith Camel FM in your folder.

Okay Ray, will have a go at this as soon as I can.

[rotton50]

Ok, thanks.

Oh also, I added the Airco DH4 to the mix. Didn't take much because I was able to mix and match previous sections from other models and make relatively minor adjustments.

Fuselage from the SE5a, Prop from the RE8, wings from the Aviatek C2 and tail from the Breguet. Changed the skins a bit and ta-da, another plane.

I'll add it to the Allied planes zip file and upload it along with the German plane models zip tomorrow.

Excellenr.
