Sopwith F.1 Camel This is Camel Nr 5 from the Belgian Air Force flown by the "White Crows" (witte raven) 4th Squad during 1917-1918. The Camel was first flown on May 17, 1917, and was the Allies premier fighter in WWI. For more info, see the file camel.txt.

I developed the aerodynamic model and your 3D model is used for the external view. My question is could I get your permission to include your 3D model w/ the Flightgear distribution (open source under the GPL). To include the model w/ Flightgear means that it would carry the GPL license. Let me know what you think. Thanks, Michael ************************************************** Prof. Michael S.

Date: Tue, 05 Nov 2002 20:07:35 +0100 Hallo Michael, Thanks a lot for your nice remarks on the Sopwith Camel. Long time ago I once tried the Flightgear sim, but it took a lot of resources from my Pentium 2 PC. It's my pleasure to allow you to use the Sopwith Camel in Flightgear. I might even try the Flightgear sim again on my new Pentium 4 PC. Keep up the good work! Cheers, Scrubby ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
