It's a... hell if I know!

Unreal Aviation "Dragon". Nice details, like the flapping wings, and as the wings go into the down stroke, the fusalage lifts up a bit, and drops a bit during the up-stroke. Very "realistic"

I found I had it when I was sifting through my FS9 aircraft for oddities to transfer to FSX. I got stuff in there that I forgot I had! :o

And I have no idea where I downloaded it from.

Looks pretty cool!

Cool. Do the wigns just go up and down or do the rotate as they do it? That's probably too complex.

Yup. Pretty much just up and down with a little flex at the mid-wing hinge line. It's pretty decent animation for something from FS9 plopped into FSX. It give hope to anyone contemplating doing some animater realistic dragon, a-la "Dragon Riders of Pern", for example. :)

Now that's different.

Question though: How does it get airborn ? :-/

I'd imagine like a glider does. ::)
