I don't introduce the most beautiful and successful British aeroplane from World War One, but the Royal Aircraft Factory Reconnaissance Experimental 8 became a legend with all the reliable service she provided from the second part of 1916 to the end of the war as a reconnaissance, bomber and ground attack plane.
This model evocates a mid production aeroplane, with Daimler-type cowlings, steel undercarriage with wooden fairings, and Constantinescu synchronizing system for the Vickers gun. The panel instruments' disposition represents one of numerous possibilities.
The model, made originally for CFS2, is from Martin Klein, the crew is a mix of Martin Wright's RAF Pilot and Wolfi's Japanese pilot.
The gauge and 2D panel are from Martin Klein.
The Flight Dynamics are from Aer DaddyO and were modified to fit this model by Stephan Scholz, who kindly found answers to my capricious asks, great thanks Stephan.
The sounds were found in an Aerocrate model, and are from LuftwaffeOberst and Gary Aumaugher.
The livery is from Martin Klein and depicts a plane from 3 AFC, flown by Nigel Love as Pilot and M. Shelley as observer.
Many thanks to Stephan Scholz, Kevin Driver "Kdriver", Michael Lang "Ravenna", "Wolfebee89", John P Fortin "Blood_Hawk23", Gary Aumaugher, "LuftwaffeOberst", Martin Wright, Wolfi and all the SOH forum members for their help and support.
Thanks to Paul R. Hare for his "RAF Re8 at War" Windsock datafile.
Great thanks to Sir Peter Jackson, the TVAL and Wingnut Wings teams for the plethoric documentation on the Re8 found on their website.
So, I hope you'll enjoy it.
