TigerTigerM Posted November 21, 2020 Share Posted November 21, 2020 At last, an MSFS aircraft in keeping with my reflexes! Wing42, a Germany based 1 man developer, (He did the Vega in P3D), has just released the Bleriot XI for MSFS & it is a delight to fly. There are 2 engine versions, the Gnome Omega 7, & the Anzani W-3., as well as several liveries. I downloaded it & installed it without incident, [read the installation manual !], & took a Gnome Omega 7 variant out of Leeds Bradford for a test flight. There is no throttle so you need to map a keyboard key or joystick key to Toggle Ignition On/Off so that you can slow it down for landing. Not that is going very fast. It is reasonably underpowered so finesse is needed on the controls and you gain height very slowly. In summary, worth every penny for the slow flight experience. TTM (MSFS/Med) A 'Filou' shot into the front end. Ready to go. Engine was running after it loaded. Just made it. Headed back. Cutting the ignition. On/Off Down in 1 piece.

JohnnyJohnJohn Posted November 22, 2020 Share Posted November 22, 2020 Nice challenging looking bird. Sadly I have to wait a bit because my credit cards are slightly steaming after much use. LOL Keep showing off the great vintage bird though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Mac Posted November 22, 2020 Share Posted November 22, 2020 Great pics TTM. Leeds at this time of year in an open cockpit? You have to admire the early pioneers of flight for their courage. John. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
