B�cker Jungmann biplane flying above Swiss Mountains

I just got this bird today! Here's the B�cker Jungmann 30's biplane flying from Mollis to Bad Ragaz, Switzerland. If you like open-cockpit biplanes, this is a good plane.

There is no 2d panal but the VC is quite good and has many details (like wingnuts and control cables fastened onto the levers)

It comes with 2 other paint schemes but the Eagle's Head one is too fun not to try first :-) ... more pics at my website.

It's found at http://www.pureflight-simulations.com/ but oddly the site just started having problems a few minutes ago

Thanks guys

... glad you like my site's Waco shots too vagabond ;-) ... that's another great open-cockpit plane. Sometimes you just wanna have the virtual wind whistling through your hair

One thing I miss with these types of planes would be the sound of stresses on the cables and frame of the plane. Maybe this happened more with ww1 era planes since I recall in the game Red Baron 3d how the sound of the creaking when you did sharper manuevers added some sense of being in an open cockpit. I'd like to see someone add that kindof thing to a flight sim biplane :-)
