Description
The Sikorsky S-16,), was designed by Ukranian Igor Sikorsky in 1914-15 for the Russian Empire.
One of the first aircraft to possess synchronisation gear for its 7.7 mm machine gun. The first S-XVI was completed on 6 February 1915 with an 80 hp engine instead of the intended 100 hp because of supply problems. On 17 December 1915, the Russian government placed an order for 18 aircraft, these being delivered in early 1916.
I only started this about a month ago and just been spending a couple of hours when I had time. So I thought I would finish it up to add to the first world war era like the other 2.
I put this at version 1. Theres not really much more to add to this. Maybe a couple of update. We'll see how it goes.
Hope you like it and jave plenty of fun flying it.
UPDATE: Just a minor adjustment to asset and output directory.

the plane moves the correct way, but the rudder should be thrown
the other way. Check out other planes in the program.
Thanks, if this can be fixed.

Hi there again...I second CalsFM...the cockpit views need addressing as you are too low....also we had a touch too little lift on take off and no aerolon operation...which is possibly because she is a wing warper.I hope these points help improve what is a very practical first attempt

ailerons are set at 25% Difficult to see because of the angle. I will try and work on the cockpit view but that mean moving the model a bit at a time. Cockpit view seems to load different for everyone. When I load it its just outside the cockpit. Also every add on I have downloaded is never in the cockpit and always have to use keyboard arrow key to move left or right to get in the cockpit, and that goes for some payware as well .

Junkers JU87 Stuka Dive Bomber
The Junkers Ju 87 or Stuka (from Sturzkampfflugzeug, "dive bomber") was a German dive bomber and ground-attack aircraft. Designed by Hermann Pohlmann, it first flew in 1935. The Ju 87 made its combat debut in 1937 with the Luftwaffe's Condor Legion during the Spanish Civil War of 1936–1939 and served the Axis in World War II from beginning to end (1939–1945). The aircraft is easily recognisable by its inverted gull wings and fixed spatted undercarriage. Upon the leading edges of its faired main gear legs were mounted ram-air sirens known as Jericho trumpets [de], which became a propaganda symbol of German air power and of the so-called Blitzkrieg victories of 1939–1942, as well as providing Stuka pilots with audible feedback as to speed. The Stuka's design included several innovations, including automatic pull-up dive brakes under both wings to ensure that the aircraft recovered from its attack dive even if the pilot blacked out from the high g-forces.
