FSX/P3D v3,v4,v5 Nieuport 17. During March 1916, the new Nieuport 17 reached the front to begin replacing the earlier Nieuport 11 and 16 fighters that had been instrumental in ending the Fokker Scourge of 1915. On 2 May 1916, Escadrille N.57 became the first unit entirely equipped with the new model. During the late 1916 and into 1917, the Nieuport 17 equipped every fighter squadron of the Aeronautique Militaire. Almost all of the top French aces flew the nimble Nieuport during their flying careers. Native model by A.F. Scrub.
