• There seems to be an uptick in Political comments in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religious comments out of the forums.

    If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.

    Please note any post refering to a politician will be considered political even if it is intended to be humor. Our experience is these topics have a way of dividing the forums and causing deep resentment among members. It is a poison to the community. We appreciate compliance with the rules.

How they fly...

My RB3D buddy and I have often discussed how accurate the flight modeling of WWI flights sims are. Did the old birds really fly like the computerized versions do?

I just came across a video on Youtube of an airshow with seven DR1 replicas, a Camel, a Phalz, and others in flight. Might give a pretty good idea of what their characteristic performance was. Worth a look in any event.

Generally, comparing what I see in that videoclip to what I'm seeing in recent sims, I think you guys are getting it about right.

Prost! :ernae:
