Sopwith Snipe for Aerofly FS 4
Readme for version 1.0
Description
Sopwith, with their 7F1 Snipe intended to produce a successor and improvement of their successful Camel Fighter. It had nearly twice the power of the Camel with its Bentley BR2 engine, but it was also a lot heavier so it was not everything that it was intended to be. It did however succeed in removing some of the vices of the Camel that made that a dangerous Aircraft to fly for an inexperienced pilot. Entering World War 1 at the very end it had little impact on the conflict. With some improvements to the Tail and Aileron design it became the main stay of the RAF fighter force until the late 1920s.
