/images/notams/notams20/wing1109/wing42-bleriot-xi-1.jpgSorry for my absence, but we've been terribly busy getting ourfirst add-ons for MSFS ready. And booooooooooy are we close to it! The Lockheed VegaWe ran into some technical difficulties with the Lockheed Vega thattake a bit longer to resolve. That's why the Vega will be the secondaircraft released for MSFS. /images/notams/notams20/wing1109/wing42-bleriot-xi-2.jpgThe Bleriot XIIn the meantime, we'll be bringing another iconic, but even olderaircraft to the sim! The Bleriot XI was a French aircraft that firstflew in 1909. It was a milestone in aviation technology and the firstaircraft to successfully conduct a flight across the English Channel,the first aircraft to fly a loop-the-loop and the first to cross theAlps. I first started this project together with Alexander Metzger around12 years ago for FSX, but was never able to finish it. For the newMSFS, I overhauled EVERYTHING - there's a new 3D model, of course newtextures and a second completely new variant of the aircraft, with arotary Gnome Omega engine. The flight model is being done by veteran aerodynamics engineerPamela Brooker and I can't overstate what an excellent job she's beendoing for this project! /images/notams/notams20/wing1109/wing42-bleriot-xi-3.jpgWhat is so much fun about this aircraft is that it is extremelylight (~270 kg fully loaded) and under-powered - especially whenyou're flying with the 25 HP Anzani two-stroke engine! Your stallspeed is at around 35 knots and your cruise speed is at around 42knots. This gives you a margin of error of only 7 knots - so you needto constantly stay on top of your aircraft and react to every littlewind gust that easily pushes your aircraft around. It makes theBleriot XI a very interesting flying experience - you will learn toappreciate the elements even more and you will be left in admirationfor the courageous pilots that flew those earlyaircraft-contraptions! The Bleriot XI will be out soon, so stay tuned for release! Source Wing42 Shows Float Version Of Lockheed Vega Wing42 Bringing Two Vintage Planes To MSFS
