    Description

Designed by Edgar Percival, this sleek and lightweight monoplane was built for speed and efficiency, becoming a favorite among pioneering pilots during the golden age of aviation.

    The Mew Gull cemented its place in history with Alex Henshaw's 1939 solo flight from England to South Africa and back, setting a time record that remains unbeaten for piston-engine aircraft. Its combination of elegant design and powerful performance made it an icon of British aviation ingenuity.

    Guess the aircraft needs a little adjustment concerning speeds. It takes off much too early at around 40 mp. Top speed is around 190 while the real aircraft did around 240.

    Hi I am afraid it is a prblem still. I reinstalled in my community folder and still the 'no cockpit' experience. This is strange because the earlier version worked fine except no pilot. Also your other aircraft fly ok even after their updates. I do use Add On Collector but the aircraft are not stored in it. (Er, Sorry Discord confuses the heck out of me :-))

    Have responded on Discord if you can take a look, it's quite a bit more difficult to assist through this comment section unfortunately.

    This is a lovely bit of kit. Thanks. It's my current favourite so I thought I'd take her for a flight over my local airport - Speke!

    Mr. cjwood93....I would appreciate it if you could tell me how to position the pilot. It doesn't appear. Is it automatic or is there something I need to do? Thanks.

    P.D. Thank you for your prompt reply. Sorry for not clarifying which simulator I used. I use 2020. I am sorry that the pilot cannot be seen and I will be patient for him to appear. I appreciate this wonderful plane which I enjoy using every day.

    Hi, the Pilot is only visible in 2020 for the time being.

    The pilot model system is drastically different between 2020 and 2024, so until the documentation becomes easier to follow/understand/implement, all of our products will remain 2020 native, with basic 2024 functionality.

    If you're using 2020, I'm not sure I can explain why it isn't showing!

    Looks very good, flies well. My only critique is that i can walk through the plane in exterior walk mode. Very fun to fly. I will be flying this plane a lot.
    EDIT: never mind walking through it, refer to creator reply

    It's not native to 2024, therefore, it doesn't use the same LOD structure/implementation for use with the walk-around feature. Glad you're enjoying it though 😊

    The navigation lights don't match the model - they appear at some distance from the airframe.
