There seems to be an uptick in Political comments in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religious comments out of the forums.

If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.

Please note any post refering to a politician will be considered political even if it is intended to be humor. Our experience is these topics have a way of dividing the forums and causing deep resentment among members. It is a poison to the community. We appreciate compliance with the rules.

Server side Maintenance is done. We still have an update to the forum software to run but that one will have to wait for a better time.

Albatross DVa - Poor construction palgued the DV

FS2004/FSX Albatross DVa

The D.V entered service in May 1917 and structural failures of the lower wing immediately occurred. The D.V’s sesquiplane wing layout was even more vulnerable than that of the D III. The outboard sections of the D.V upper wing also suffered failures, requiring additional wire bracing and the fuselage sometimes cracked during rough landings.

Owing to these problems, the D.V offered very little improvement in performance to the Albatross D III.
