Those planes are amazing.  Though I wasn't allowed to throw this one around much as the owner uses it for tourist flights.  It's his bread and butter.

I had no idea you knew how. You certainly look dashing. Immelmans aside, they're almost helicopter-like in low speed maneuvers.

He looks like a dashing heroic pilot ordered from central casting in that shot, in fact.  The American in a British WWI film.

Thanks Dale.

I gotta ask: What's with the leather helmet and goggles? Where you in an open cockpit plane? Or maybe some kind of Mad Max machine? I flew in an open cockpit biplane once, it was a cool experience.

I got to fly an open cockpit biplane.

Back in my flying days I always did Cessnas.   I always wanted to try a biplane.

I understand that one of the blogzine guys asked at a press test play event, and got a confirmation that the game will be 64 bit.

Is that the reason for the new from scratch engine?
