With regard to dropping bombs, why not go one better? The real things were equipped with Le Prieur rockets for use against observation balloons: Looking forward to checking that one out in MSFS. Kind of interesting that the Germans were sufficiently impressed with the Nieuport's climb rate and maneuverability to make a sesquiplane version of the Albatros D.III biplane - which was the Albatros D.V - and that suffered from the same flutter issues, which they partly alleviated by adding a small bracing strut off the bottom of the vee strut to brace the lower wing a bit more, which they designated the D.Va. Mannock had one break on him for this exact reason, but fortunately for him, the thing stayed together long enough to enable him to nurse it down to a landing. Lots of them shed their lower wings as a result of that, which was usually a fatal occurrence. The real thing was a bit dodgy of course, owing to its vee-strut connection to the lower sesquiplane wing, which would cause the strut mounting to pivot excessively at high speeds when flutter was encountered a phenomenon not fully understood at the time. Wow, the aeroplane which one of my all-time heroes - Edward Mannock - cut his teeth on. This is coming out soon, expect to see a few previews around the “socials” first Rob, our consultant actually built and owned a real one Comes with 1 mission and 2 landing challenges Hidden radio set for IVAO or VATSIM users Accurate flight model making it nimble and useable on many tiny airstrips Accurate sounds recorded from a Le Rhone rotary engine Let me introduce you to the Nieuport 17!Ĭomes with a boat load of nice little features, here are some:
But we thought in the meantime we would go on a little side venture, with a more fun, simple, cheaper, cool looking little plane. Hey guys! So we are still working on our main big project, due in several months still.
