This is my entry for the Jundroo challenge

There has never been a Caprini-Rasponi CR7. Indeed, the Caprini-Rasponi brand never existed. It is entirely a product of my imagination and not a replica. I wanted to make an ultra realistic biplane, but I wanted to use my imagination and not to copy something designed by others. I also wanted to simulate the particular transparency of the canvas fixed on a wooden structure, and I tried to obtain it with two colors on a structure of hundreds and hundreds of small pieces. This structure, however, will also allow fantastic colorations of any kind, both garish show plane livery and camouflage colors in two or more colors. I reserve the right to release other versions of this model repainted in the future as my fantasy will stimulate me to do.

I wanted to "invent" an Italian aircraft that came out at the end of the First World War, very advanced in some respects (IE the eight-cylinder engine) and not so under others (IE The lack of throtte, which forces you to always travel at full speed or remove the contact to slow down), or the spartan internal instrumentation.

The model flies very well, but you may encounter some problems:

Slowness in loading the model into the editor or map to fly
Landing not quite as easy as in a beginner plane

You have very few commands.

AG1 to switch the engine on and off. (Note, AG1 also activates another, so if you change the engine to run it normally you will encounter other problems. Mainly when landing)

STICK for climbing and roll

PEDALS for the rudder

The wheel of the TRIM to balance the plane (you will need it on landing, and even on takeoff it could help you)

Two GUNS to fight.

There is nothing else, let yourself be satisfied with what you have, as in the days of WWI heroes. There is no throttle. Press 1 to push, and turn it off to slow down.
