I proposed this formation style to the 300 or so Mooney guys, who form up and fly into Oshkosh, Wi every EAA Convention. I believe a few combat boxes will be more fun both to fly and watch, than a 100+ 3-plane vee's. ..now, it can be done safely. Can even carpet-drop candy. ;-) ..anyone know anything about the online "Warbirds" gamers coding skills? Some of these are aviation and/or historical purists and might want our fdm's over the Warbird fdm. In the WWI scenario, there are zeppeliners too. ;-) -- ..med vennlig hilsen = with Kind Regards from Arnt... ;-) Scenarios always come in sets of three: best case, worst case, and just in case. _______________________________________________ Flightgear-devel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.flightgear.org/mailman/listinfo/flightgear-devel
