Introducing the Grasshopper, a lightweight single engine biplane. Featuring two cockpits each with full control over the aircraft, instructors can teach aspiring pilots the ways about controlling and flying an aircraft. Fitted with a 150hp inverted four-cylinder engine and only 800kg of loaded mass, this aircraft is easy to fly, while also demonstrating realistic handling of a typical single engined propeller fighter aircraft. All details and aspects of this aircraft have been expertly crafted and prepared, a fully anatomically correct engine and cockpits being the most notable.

This aircraft took me a while to make, but considering it was my first after yet another large hiatus from the game, I thought it would be nice to challenge myself by trying out all the new features and making this my most detailed aircraft yet. Enjoy, and please leave an upvote if you want to see more! Thanks!

Ah, I see. Thank you, I had no idea such a thing was absent.
We added a new feature that hasn't been released yet that makes engine/wind/etc audio quieter when flying from the cockpit camera. I tweaked the XML of your camera part to disable that so when the update goes live your audio won't be quiet since this is an open cockpit.
I'm not quite sure I follow, Care to elaborate?

Excellent build. I hope you don't mind, but I updated the cameras with a new XML attribute to disable the new quiet cockpit effects since.
