So, first impressions -
Damage points, too hard, too easy?
Much difference from plane to plane flight characteristics or do they all feel the same?
Dive limits? Too low, too high?
Take off?
Landings?
Slow speed handling?
Stalls?
Spins?
Noticeable difference in flight characteristics after bomb drops?
That's a lot to ask after one flight but I'm eager to hear what another virtual pilot thinks.
I will say, they look darn good thanks to the skinners' talents and my efforts to fix the rendering issues. As I've said before I built them 90% for their addition to the WWII scenarios and 10% to showcase them for any modder willing to take on the WWI project.
Heck, even paranoids have enemies.

That was a quick airstart test of the planeset in which I tried the Fury. It handled well, but I am used to flying the SAW Fury. The CR-20 AIs gave me a good run for my money, and seemed to take a mot of damage, however, I did not encounter the Avias. In the Fury I did not spin or stall. It will be good when more people try 150 and fly these planes

Ray, Have you read Dart's thread about his home built Nieuport 11? It's been interesting to read his comments about tail dragers, how he ground looped it the first try at fast taxi, and the flight characteristics. If you have not, I would start with page 30 (the ground loop): http://SimHQ.com/forum/ubbthreads.php/topics/4244323/Re:_7/8_scale_Nieuport_11.#Post4244323 The full thread: http://simhq.com/forum/ubbthreads.php/topics/4275540/1

I made a new planeset with just the bi-planes. I flew an offline airstarted intercept in the allied fighters against the He45 Fantome: Fast and destructive Fury: Well matched Demon: Too slow, could not catch them Gauntlet: Quite fast, worked well Bulldog: Seemed to have the speed, lost a lot in the turn and overheated a bit too easily trying to regain speed and altitude to catch them. Sea Gladiator: Sale as the Bulldog. I will now try the reverse with the axis fighters after an allied bomber
