hope you recover as fast and as painlessly as posible.as for the Berg Scout,if you want I'll try to dig up some stuff.no pressure but if you want to give it a go I'm sure at least 5 people here will do everything they can to ease your burden

most excellent!

funny

ok my initial feelings on the camel FM.It's a hell of a frisky beast.I was having trouble keeping it under control.My fault because of my ham fisted flighing but I have a feeling if I was to devote lots of time to learning the ups and downs of her I would be unbeatable,which to me seems like how the camel has been described historicaly.I had a ball turning to the left but found if I wasn't carful I was spining out of control.I'll give more feedback as I learn more about the Camel.I have a feeling I will be flying the Camel alot more now.

ok I figured I'd start a new topic that way I won't be clogging up everyone elses threads.I spent a little time with the Dr one.I really like how it feels.I havn't really flow it to much before but I do notice a difference.the flat turns are pretty cool.I have trouble doing it consistantly but I think that is more my piloting skill than a FM issue.I had a little trouble keeping my speed up but I think that is probobly realistic with all the drag of three wings and me testing the menuverability.I was dogfighting the 130hp camels (not the newest)FM and the AI Dr1s gave as well as they got.The AI seemed for the most part to cope with the FM ,I didn't notice any floundering about the sky or plumetting to the ground.Climb seemed really good except for me losing speed pretty fast but that may have been me pulling to hard on the stick.I'll do more testing then move onto the Camel.I hope this is of some help.

excellent stuff Quack.Peter I just started to test the FMs,I can't really describe it but there seems to be a "different feel" between the SE-5s.I have a school function to go to with my daughter but after that the rest of my night is going to be devoted to testing them.I want to see if I can time the climes and turn rates of the Se-5 and see how the Camel and Dr1 feel compaired to the originals.

ok I'm off to bed now,I have to get up at 2am for work but as soon as I'm home from work I'll start testing and get back to you with some comments and feedback.

I enter stalls and spins often now that I switched to the Hard FM setting.in normal mode it's just to easy to be ham fisted with the stick.I have to learn to fly all over again and be a little more catious how I jerk the stick around now.

I'll give it a shot,don't know how much help I'll be but I'll do what I can.As for Quack,yeah we kinda went offroad with your thread

I think the gunner has it in for me.

hey your the expert and I'll certainly not look a gift horse in the mouth.thanks,your flight models make such a difference.

I think the model he made is the later one with the 245hp? not sure off the top of my head. EDIT; found this on the net. The Oeffag aircraft were built in three main versions (series 53, 153, 253) using the 138, 149, or 168 kW (185, 200, or 225 hp) Austro-Daimler engines respectively. The Austro-Daimlers provided improved performance over the Mercedes D.IIIa engine. For cold weather operations, Oeffag aircraft featured a winter cowling which fully enclosed the cylinder heads. Austrian pilots often removed the propeller spinner from early production aircraft, since it was prone to falling off in flight.[11] Beginning with aircraft 112 of the series 153 production run, Oeffag introduced a new rounded nose that eliminated the spinner. Remarkably, German wind-tunnel tests showed that the simple rounded nose improved propeller efficiency and raised the top speed by 14 km/h (9 mph).[11] All Oeffag variants were armed with two 8 mm (.315 in) Schwarzlose machine guns. In most aircraft, the guns were buried in the fuselage, where they were inaccessible to the pilot. In service, the Schwarzlose proved to be somewhat less reliable than the 7.92 mm (.312 in) LMG 08/15, mainly due to problems with the synchronization gear.[11] The Schwarzlose also had a poor rate of fire.[11] At the request of pilots, the guns were relocated to the upper fuselage decking late in the series 253 production run.[11] 253 153

I'm gonna jump on the band wagon here some more Austrian fighters and 2-seaters would be great.if enough aircraft were available I'm sure somone would throw together a terrain.heres hopeing.

Damn,my prayers go out to you and your family.

there is one in the New England Air museum.As soon as I can I'll post pics.

very cool.I love reading the interviews.They make history very personal and much more real than just reading some impersonal book.thanks.

yes I confirm too it's pretty cool.

whiteknight ended up playing Dungeons and Dragons with his family so he didn't do it yet but I will try it now and get back to you.ASAP

great addition,thank you.I love the Eastern European aircraft that were used on the eastern front.

Damn I can't make up my mind which looks better,as for historical the few color drawings I have seen look like the lighter one.

I can't wait to test these out.Thank you.

great work.The early era will be a whole lot prettier now.

I'm about to try,I don't think I'll make it past the 10 minute mark.

very nice stuff.thank you for sharing.
