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.

"Those Maginficent Men In Their Flying Machines" take to the skies again!!
This style of aircraft is my favourite in FSX, just can't get enough of them. Forget the computer controlled juggernauts rocketing around the world now, or even the highly sophisicated GA aircraft that abound today.
Give me canvass and string any day! Oh how I wish I was around at the dawn of flight.![]()
What's amazing or sad, depending upon your point of view, is that this airplane had a max useful load of only 162 pounds. I would have overgrossed this aircraft when I was a very skinny high school student! I was about six feet tall at the time. I seriously wonder how tall the pilots were back then?
