My old tired eyes were squinting so bad in the dark at your first shot, I needed to view it a bit earlier at dusk so I could appreciate it a little more.........nice job .....one of my all time favs from the good old days ............

What a neat little twin......twin engines, twin wings, twin wheels.....my only criticisms on it are, firstly,  that it tends to hold energy too well for all that drag, but when it finally stalls, it does so quickly. Secondly, the fin needs addressing (lead edge and trailing edge), as it may be a bit too square for the rest of the design.........with that aside, I decided to take it to where it should be right at home- close to the Crown Jewels........well done TLUK !

jaa.. there is one problem though that bewilders me.
the prop discs make some things transparent... my guess is that its some stupid ms problem like the 4-doors-on-a-chopper is.

still.. like i say if enough people like it then i'll do the full monty on it.

I was fortunate enough to be here at 2:00 when it was first posted and after taking a look at it, decided I wanted at least a test flight.........wasn't intending to scoop the story.......... 8)

A search on Simviation for "DH85 Dragon Rapide", or "DH85", or "Dragon Rapide", brought up nothing but old FS '98 50% Planes..... :'(...!

But the search on Avsim for "DH85 Dragon Rapide" brings it up straight away.... ;D
(The extras pack is also there)...

Cheers...
