Maybe Crawford or VonS can find an ini tweak for cigarette smoke?

Spent four hours creating the bracing and control wires.

"Borrowed" the rigging wires from the Moraine-Saulnier Type P to start rigging the Bleriot.

Thanks. Again, Crawford was an immense help with researching details for this aircraft.

Made good progress this morning on details.

Agreed. A lot of talented people have made the sim what it is today. Speaking for myself, it's a fun hobby that delivers a lot of satisfaction.

Tested the latest set of files for the Caudron R11, but the gunners didn't track targets, let alone fire at them. So, until I look through my backups for the earlier files - which DID track/fire at targets - I'm working on the Berg D1 and Bleriot 11. Crawford: Thanks for the research photos - they were a BIG help with the control wire pulleys!

Thanks!

While taking shots for the Pfalz D3 intro screens, I accidentally caught some nice mood shots.

I'm splitting my time between the Caudron R11 and the Berg D1. Berg progress shot below.

Guys - Thanks for the help on the Bleriot!

Thanks for your help, guys. I figured out the last gauge was fuel pressure!

Gterl - Thanks for the research, but I need air pressure gauges for engine pneumatic systems, not barometric altimeter.

While I look for a French air pressure gauge, I worked on the Berg D.I Also found a scale model of the D.I used by the Ukraine post-WW1.

Thanks! That's exactly the kind of detail information that I need.

Thanks!

Found the Bleriot XI in my backup discs, so I'm dusting off the old model and thinking about what is needed to finish it. The kingpost structure seems the most common, not the trestle. I've not been able to find any closeups of the bracing and warping wire pulleys that were mounted at the apex of the kingpost. These will be VERY visible to anyone "flying" the model so it is important to get them right. Can anyone assist with closeup drawings or photos?

Mike - Many thanks for the recommendation - the book is available on Amazon. I've just started it but am enjoying it immensely. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B004OR1Q4O/ref=pe_385040_118058080_TE_M1DP

Been fooling around with a Berg D.1 - I've always loved the hexagonal camo.

Thanks, but Gtrel's maps and Stephen1918's large stable of aircraft make the sim what it is today.

It's in the pipeline, but don't hold your breath as I have a lot of other stuff to finish first.
