After the end of WW1, Vickers decided to build an airliner
version of the Vimy bomber.
The prototype Vimy Commercial flew in april 1919. A total
of 44 were built, most of them for China. The most well-known
example was, however, G-EASI 'City of London', flown by
Instone Air Line (and later Imperial Airways) 1920-1926.
For more details and flying instructions see the
pdf document installed in the \Manual folder.

Installation:
Just unzip this archive to the Flight Simulator 9\aircraft folder.
Remember to 'use folder names' when unzipping.

Sounds: Aliased to the sounds of the stock FS9 Vickers Vimy
Gauges: Borrowed unchanged from the FS9 Vickers Vimy.
Textures: Fuselage textures by me, wing, tail and engine textures
adapted from the FS9 Vickers Vimy.
The flight dynamics are by me. The engine sections of the *.air
file are copied from the FS9 Vickers Vimy flight dynamics.
----
The pilot figure is borrowed from the LA-7 sample project
included with FSDS2.
----
This plane was made with FSDS 2.24, the textures with Paint Shop Pro and DxtBmp.
Good luck flying the Vimy Commercial!
