WestFront,

The non-standardization of aircraft types and shapes during WWI is fascinating to me. Great job modeling this aircraft! :santahat:
 
It should, but will probably need a bit of work on the aircraft.cfg and air files. The gauges will have to be substituted with the Vickers Vimy ones.

Have fun!

Kevin
 
Definitely an example of how A/C designers were stretching the limits of conventional technology and materials during WWI. Thanks guys.
