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.
