Hi all
As you know, I'm a fervent supporter of WW1 aviation in NZ, and I'd love to see a larger Great War presence in Flight Simulator. To this end, I've been scouring the web for WW1 aircraft relevant to NZ - specifically, Omaka and Hood-based aircraft - and attempting repaints.
My first effort is the Nieuport 11 ZK-NIE, painted as Alvaro Leonardi's machine. If anyone's interested, please PM me. It's basic, but achieves my goal of having a representative of NIE.
I've been able to find a great repaint of Peter Jackson's Camel ZK-JMU/B3889 at FlightSim.com, I'll post some screenies once I get the hang of flying the darned thing!
Stay tuned!

Do a search for "Camel" and select the B3889 repaint of Dave Eckhart's model.

Nail on the head! And a fantastic model it is too! Pity I dislike the Camel so...

Much rather prefer the SPAD S VII meself. Hmmm, think I might have to dig out
Combat Aces for CS2 again.

Robert Bruce's Bristol Fighter, Dave Eckert's Camel and Stuart Green's recent efforts have WW1 very very nicely covered! That's in my order of preference =)

The RNZAF---of which I am a former memeber, apparently operated the Bristol Fighter until 1938, how about a repaint for that excellent freeware Bristol fighter that's out there, also an RNZAF repaint for the Alphasim payware Lockheed Hudson, and the Alphasim Vampire
