FS2002 The 1931 Davis D-1-W
This is a model of a two place, open cockpit parasol monoplane, the
Davis D-1-W. The Davis is the result of some areonautical engineers'
thinking that the parasol monoplane could replace the traditional
biplane and its' attendant expense and complexity. The Davis came at
the height of Lindberg aviation fever after Walter Davis purchased
Vulcan Aviation. They did for a time, produce an American-ized DH 60,
I believe. Davis' first design, the D-1, was offered with a choice of
several small radial engines from the 65hp LeBlonde to the 110-125 hp
Warner (D-1-W). A variety of optional equippment was also available,
including NACA cowlings, wheel covers etc. I don't know what happened
to the Davis company. Most likely, it became a victim of the
Depression, like so many fledgling outfits. If the Davis has a claim
to fame, it may be, as I've heard, that it inspired the ship that
became the Fairchild Model 22, arguably the best known American
parasol monoplane. By Steven D. Myers

FS2002 Piper Arrow-III, non-turbo
N1927H is an aircraft of Ben Weltevrede, a member of the Rotterdam
Flying Club in the Netherlands. It has an American registration, but
is home based at Rotterdam Airport. This new model, in part derived
from Warrior4.zip, was made using the present possibilities of FSDS
v.2.11, and includes a virtual cockpit, moving landing gear, doors,
yokes, pedals and pilot. I made the gauges that are specific to Pipers
using EasyGauge; they were put into place with FS Panel
Studio.Especially drift in the directional gyro is a lot more
realistic than the FS2002 build-in drift, which is grossly exaggerated
and therefore unusable. By Rien Cornelissen,
