An item about the freeware Schneider Trophy Air Race package appeared on the Avsim home page yesterday. Being a fan of classic aircraft and the Supermarine S6, I had to give it a try! As soon as I unzipped the files, it was apparent that this package was put together with loving care... the documentation, the included scenery, and the aircraft are absolutely first-rate. And it's a real kick to fly the race course 100 feet above the water!There are separate downloads for the race course scenery, an RAF seaplane base, and the Supermarine S6 (with both 2d and virtual cockpit). And the flight model for the S6 is fantastic... it feels just like what you'd expect for an airplane intended to compete in a closed-course race at 300 mph (in 1929!). According to the web site, an additional aircraft, the Macchi M67, will be released shortly.If you're into aviation history, this is an absolute must-have!

Thanks for the heads up Ken! It's nice to see something different for a change. I'll be sure to check it out.Cheers,Todd
