My FS98 had a Sopwith Camel , that I have succussfully crashed until it is little more than sticks and feathers.

Hi Terry, well there is an excellent Stearman here in 2k2 downloads that should work perfectly in FS9.
Have a search for Lynn and Bill Lyons Custom Classic Aircraft, they have a fabulous freeware Moth (there is also a Moth here in 2k2 downloads ;)).
The Camel, well there was an FS2k2 version, but it was just updated from 2k, your best bet is to try either a CFS2 version, or I think we might have one here again in 2k2 downloads that should work fine.

Happy flying
Ozzy ;)

This is the best Tiger Moth for FS2002/4. IMHO

John Woodside flies them & knows the old Tiger intimately. I worked on & flew them myself & can vouch for their accuracy,  ;)

Thanks chum .  Went there , but haven't  been  able to come up with the downloads yet .  There's lots of stuff out there and what it takes to find it is a little push .  This is quite addictive, isn't it ?  See you.....Terry.

Hagar isn't it easier just to shove a fat person in the front seat? ;D

Unfortunately I don't have any such persons to hand. ;)

Seriously, I think doing this with a small tweak in Aircraft.cfg would fix it.
