A true flying circus, as all of mudspike gets inebriated and mans one single rickety bomber made of battens and discarded sailcloth.

Repost: Don’t you have an authentic(ish) WW I control stick? Seem to recall drooling over…I mean “looking at” some photos posted here on MS a couple years ago.

Did you just call the Viggen a WWI age aircraft…?

Oh! You must mean this one…I hope! :wink:

I light heartedly take tongue in cheek offence as said rickety bombers were made locally. It is now a Siemans electronics plant. But beneath the modern veneer on the front of the building it is Edwardian ex aircraft factory. One in fourteen of all UK WW1 aircraft were built in Lincoln.

Carrier capable in DCS?

Lincoln is also noted for inventing and building the first of these.

I have even had Christmas dinner in the room they designed the worlds first tank in.

‘Little Willie’ the first tank survives in the Bovingdon tank museum

Yes, that is the one I meant. I thought it was something you had purchased.

It looks “bare bra” for the job. (the Norge (bokmål) lessons are coming along…albeit slowly.)

I’ve been in love with the HP 0/400 ever since I built the Airfix 1/72 kit…
I hope we’ll see airships in Flying Circus, one day. :slight_smile:

Thanks for the mention Troll!

If anyone is interested in some WW1 style controls to go with IL2 FC2, check out my products at www.vrsimpits.com!

I have temporarily stopped accepting orders for grips, as I have my hands full preparing my next release, the Tampier Throttle Quadrant, for production and sale! But come January I should not only have more grips for sale, but throttles and perhaps Sopwith rudder bars as well!

Bombers, Zeppelins and a Career Mode would make me a pretty happy camper. I enjoy FC1 a lot, and that would make it even better.

My maternal grandfather, William Townes Fraser, initials WTF :grinning:, served as a nose gunner on WWI bombers. His son would be a B-17G bombardier/nose gunner during WW2. Anyway, as a kid I remember grandfather telling stories from his easy chair in the living room, while he smoked cigs and sipped a bourbon. The three things that I remember from those chats, which are now 45 years distant, is that he said that he stood in an open cockpit in the nose of the airplane, that he sucked oxygen from an open tube (no face mask), and that he often chucked small bombs by hand when the opportunity arose. He showed me a painting one time of his bomber, which was similar to the photo below.
