To do (or I should say wish list)

  • gauges for the rear cockpit
  • More authenticity
  • More accurate engine, prop, and wing configuration.
  • Brief Manual or POH
  • JSBSim model (?)
  • Livery....
  • Smokes...

Acknowledgement

Thanks go to:

Sopwith Camel's authors (AJ Macleod and Vivian Meazza)
They kindly enough to let me use Camel's propeller 3D model, which is very close to K5Y1's one. Plus, its beautifully textured propeller including hub and bolts saved many ohurs of labors. Though I wanted to refer the 3D model instead of dupulicating it, the propeller needs to be 180 degree rotated due to the spin direction of K5Y1 propeller is opposite to Camel's one.
