Same plane as before, but a little more stability and a little less exploding. Cockpit by Sarpanitu.
Ag1- engine 1
Ag2- engine 2
Ag3- weak gyro (for easier takeoff and landing)
Ag7- strong gyro (for when you need to take your hands off the con to eat some Doritos or whatevs).
Enjoy!

True... @atgxtg
@Hyattorama But SR2 might be a different story.
Yeah, for sure @atgxtg
@Hyattorama Yeah, I doubt it's possible. SP is a simulation, and it doesn't mirror reality exactly. So even if someone did an exactly replica, it wouldn't perform exactly the same due to those differences.
Yeah, makes sense. It’s kind of impossible to get every single spec exactly accurate in SP. I haven’t seen one yet that’s exactly accurate in every way. @atgxtg
@Hyattorama More like 5 times as heavy. The real thing was around 1300 pounds when loaded. But lightweight planes are a pain in SP. You have to XML edit things and then deal with the fallout. Case in point, in order to get the thing to run for 1hr 45min on 20 gal of fuel, I had to lower the fuel input to around 3.5% of norm, and multiply the power by a factor of 28 to keep the 110 hp output. So now SP thinks my Bristol got a 3000 hp engine, even though it can only make 115 mph.
As for your 130 mph, I've seen 132 listed in some places, but that was for the C model with the 130 hp engine.
You know, I took another look at my M1, and you’re right, it’s about twice as heavy as the real thing, but the top speed (130 mph) is spot on. @atgxtg
When you click on “Share Aircraft” the window comes up, the one where it gives you the option to write a description and take three photos, there’s a box that says “visibility” right under the box that says “account”. On the “visibility” box, just switch it from “public” to “unlisted”. Yeah, I suppose I could modify my build to make the weight and performance more accurate. It would be nice to have a better gun and a better livery too. Of course, you’re more than welcome to use my plane and make mods and post a “successor” plane. @atgxtg
@Hyattorama
I haven't posted my version. Mine is mostly scaled, and flies, but needs some work to fix trim and adjust match up properly on performance. If I know how to post it "unlisted" I'd let you take a look at it for a laugh. I think my Vickers machine gun looks decent, but the rest is rather crude.
Yours looks so much better.
What I was thinking about your was to see if it could be scaled down in weight and power to match up with actual specs. I have a machine gun and some UK emblems you could have for cheap, too!
Right on, thank you man! I’m finished with the M1. Or at least, I haven’t thought of anything I’d want to change about it at this time. What are you thinking about it? Have you posted your version yet? @atgxtg
Yes it is rudimentary, except for the twin props, but it works. There really isn't a need to make it more complex, and it is fun to fly. Now if you wanted to do something more with it, Idunno make it a seaplane, or STOL or something, then you'd have a reason to make it more complex, but even then, I'd rather start with a good basic design and add to it, as that way I know what the effects of any alterations are.
BTW, I was doing some research for a plane and stumbled upon your Bristol M1. Are you still working on that? It looks pretty good, much better than my M1.
Right on, thank you so much!!! It’s pretty rudimentary I guess, but I think it’s fun to fly :) @atgxtg
This is a really nice little plane.
