Jeff Bell and Jack Ralston, of Birhle Applied Research, ( http://www.bihrle.com )have graciously allowed me to release the 3D LODs from their flight sim "First Flight - The Wright Experience" ( http://www.mywrightexperience.com/ ) This sim is based on the Thirdwire flight sim engine, so these objects are easily imported into a Strike Fighters map. The trees have a unique feature: 'billboard'. The face of the tree pivots towards the viewer so you always see the full frontal view... Very cool! The flag is animated to blow in the wind.... Hotel or industrial type buildings... Church and brownstones... Houses, brownstones and trees... The Wright Brother's camp at Kittyhawk... Please visit the "First Flight" website and check it out...

Try it... that is one llloonngggg 120 feet! This isn't a 172 you're driving...

Based on TKs flight sim engine and using actual wind tunnel data from fullsize replicas, Birhle Applied Research is nearing completion of "First Flight, The Wright Experience Flight Simulator". This sim allows you to fly three of the Wright Brothers aircraft: the 1902 Glider, the 1903 Flyer and the 1911 "B" model Flyer. Birhle Applied Research has done simulation work for the US military on the F18, F15, JSF, F22 and many other aircraft, including the Harrier. There are several links to the associated groups responsible for the production of this new sim. Please stop by and check it out... :)

Coming soon...

A new mini-map system is now available at the Aerodrome. 500x500 km, it is designed as a training map for NOE flying and dogfighting and also for INI writers who want an easy and interesting palce to work. Beauty pass... A Beagle buys the farm and he was soooo close.... Note NOE in a deep valley. Note the canyon wall on the right...
