• Which the release of FS2020 we see an explosition of activity on the forun and of course we are very happy to see this. But having all questions about FS2020 in one forum becomes a bit messy. So therefore we would like to ask you all to use the following guidelines when posting your questions:

    • Tag FS2020 specific questions with the MSFS2020 tag.
    • Questions about making 3D assets can be posted in the 3D asset design forum. Either post them in the subforum of the modelling tool you use or in the general forum if they are general.
    • Questions about aircraft design can be posted in the Aircraft design forum
    • Questions about airport design can be posted in the FS2020 airport design forum. Once airport development tools have been updated for FS2020 you can post tool speciifc questions in the subforums of those tools as well of course.
    • Questions about terrain design can be posted in the FS2020 terrain design forum.
    • Questions about SimConnect can be posted in the SimConnect forum.

    Any other question that is not specific to an aspect of development or tool can be posted in the General chat forum.

    By following these guidelines we make sure that the forums remain easy to read for everybody and also that the right people can find your post to answer it.

I posted about this plane a while ago in the "I'm working on aircraft..." thread, and I thought I'd post a thread of updates for those interested! Since the first post, I've found some really good pictures to clear up most of the details I was missing (though still no photos of the cockpit). The flight model produces accurate performance (to the historical data, at least) in a straight line. The controls are sharp and responsive, as expected (the flight model is based on real data from the the RAF 25 airfoil it used, and as much as I can gather about the rest of the aircraft, after all!). All-in-all, it flies about like an 26 foot long, 3000 pound (2300 empty!) plane bolted to an 875 horsepower engine! By the way, 930 pounds of that is the engine..,

Anyway, a few screenshots to start! The livery isn't the one it wore to Venice in '27, it's a fictional "testing" livery so I can play out my fantasies about being a racing test pilot. Let me know if you have any thoughts!
