X-Plane 11.50+ Airco DH2 1.0.1a. The Airco DH.2 was a single-seat pusher biplane fighter aircraft which operated during the First World War. It was the second pusher design by aeronautical engineer Geoffrey de Havilland for Airco, based on his earlier DH.1 two-seater. The DH.2 was introduced to frontline service in February 1916 and became the first effectively armed British single-seat fighter. It enabled Royal Flying Corps (RFC) pilots to counter the "Fokker Scourge" that had given the Germans the advantage during late 1915. It served in fighting and escort duties for almost two years, while numerous pilots became flying aces using the type. Thanks to Beber for his pilot and Dan Hopgood for the engine sounds. Please see the included documentation for further details. Version 1.0.1a adds a machine gun sound (thanks Troopie). By Ray Hill.
