Kurt,

This is a fantastic model, and a very interesting paint scheme! I apologize for not being around CFS2 much this summer, but I am keeping track and commenting when I can. Great work! :santahat: :encouragement:
 
Captain Kurt,

Like I've said before I'm not into WWI much,but I really like this plane.

I have flown one of your campaigns and installing another one.

Hi Captain
Great work.:applause::applause::applause:
The 'artwork' on some of these WW1 aircraft is very interesting.
Can you do one in 'paisley'?
Cheers
Stuart
 
I hate paisley. Give me a lozenge any day.

Seriously, I wish we could construct more missions for WW1 aircraft. It seems we are hampered by their slow speeds. I had no end of trouble trying to make the mission for the Blackburn Kangaroo sinking a German sub.
 
Sugestion for Captain Kurt

What about a Avro 504 Serie? It was used as a trainer until the thirties by some countries.

Cheers

In the design works preview

Even though it might not look it, this bird is only about 50% to 60% done so far. :playful:

Description: The Albatros C.III


The German Albatros C.III was a highly successful all-purpose two-seat biplane of World War I, used in a wide variety of roles including observation, photo-reconnaissance, light bombing and bomber escort. The C.III was a refined version of the successful Albatros C.I type. It was eventually produced by 6 subcontractor manufacturers as well as Albatros.


The first 12 aircraft went to the front in December 1915 and it was gradually withdrawn from frontline service in mid-1917. But production continued for training aircraft. Orders for 2271 aircraft in total were placed with the first 796 ordered for combat units. The remaining 1475 were produced as trainers. Some 26 Albatros C.III were delivered to Bulgaria, including eight trainers and the Polish Air Force operated 15 Albatros C.III in 1918-1920 during Polish-Soviet War.
