And last but definitely not least the Sopwith Snipe
All great models who despite their age are still in a League of their own!

Huub -- Are you using a custom sound file for the Snipe? I have that little plane and somehow, the default C-172 set seems a bit too quiet for a radial engine that turns with the propeller...
Those are some awesome paints too, BTW.
(That's 3 annoying replies to posts, made by me in one day!! Reckon I'd better lay low for a while).

Yes, I use custom sounds for the Snipe. I'm not 100% sure but I think I use the sounds which came with the FSX Camel by Craig Richardson.

Over the years I have seen many first World War aircraft. Some original but also many replica's and sometimes original aircraft which had been restored in such a way that you wonder what the single left original part is. The Royal Military museum in Brussels has quite a nice collection of original aircraft. And they even have a large collection of original Zeppelin parts on display.
In 2015 I visited the Speyer museum in Germany. A part of this museum is located in a hall which originally belonged to the Pfalz aircraft factory. PFW Aerospace has recently built a beautiful replica which is currently on display in the museum. It is an aircraft with a breathtaking beauty. It is tiny and looks fragile, however it was in fact very sturdy and could dive very fast.
Over 1,000 have been built, but there isn't one original left. Two replica's have been built for the movie "Blue Max" and these are both in New Zealand. There is an original Pfalz in Australia, howver this is a later mark D.XII.
Stuart Green catches the lines of this beautiful aircraft very nicely. The textures are mine, however never published.
The Pfalz D.III in the early factory livery as it can be found in the Speyer Museum.
The D.IIIa with "Lozenge wings" and late markings as it looked at the end on the War.

I would rather have impressed the Countess von Klugermann
The Albatros was the fist from the highly detailed FS2004 models Stuart did. The model was also available as Sim-Outhouse donationware. The only thing I disliked about this model was the pilot. Luckily the pilot textures are exchangeable so the pilot in my Albatros looks very similar to its creator......
My favourite models form this series are the Fokker D.VII, Spad VII C.1 and the Pfalz D.IIIa. I particularly like the last one in the Jagdstaffel 5 colours. Its funny, because as far as I know there is only one picture which shows this aircraft in the background. Based on the single poor black and white picture it is nearly impossible so say something about colours. Nevertheless is is one of the best known liveries. Most likely because Eduard released their plastic model kit in this livery.

Not wanting to dig up the old screenies, but stunning shots there, Huub, especially of the Felixstowe!The Albatros D.III with a stunning skin by RobH

A tip for those who are not in the know: Stuart Green's updated Felixstowe along with the Se5a, both originally for FS2002 by SG, and eventually upgraded to FS2004, together with the Cuckoo for FS2004 is available right here at SOH in a trio package, and which I highly recommend for those wishing to fly either or both the F2a or the Se5a in FS9: https://sim-outhouse.org/sohforums/resources/sg-trio-for-fs9-zip.13848/
I was struggling, originally, with the SGreen's Felixstowe for FS2k2, also available here @ SOH, but Roger Law's upgrade compilation, really appears to help, in FS2004! I find the upgraded FD for SG's F2a model tad more realistic than Jens' ! Indeed, I have discovered SG's F2a rather belatedly if not somewhat late, but with FS2004, there is always an aircraft or locale to discover...
anyhow great work, admin and volunteers with the SOH 'move'...
cheers!
