Royal Aircraft Factory S.E.5

An open cockpit, a compact instrument panel and exposed wing rigging give this British First World War biplane its character. Fsadni's S.E.5 uses an original model credited to Helijah.

Version 0.07 remains an unfinished freeware project. Wheel and exhaust effects are included, but the additional smoke effect is not implemented: its two switches on the right have no effect. The author also states that the aircraft was not set up for VR.

The latest release fixes an asset and output-directory issue that prevented some aircraft from appearing in the hangar. The preceding update corrected reversed elevator movement.

This package is for MSFS 2020; compatibility with MSFS 2024 has not been confirmed. If you already installed it with Rikoooo's legacy installer, uninstall that copy before installing through the Hub to avoid duplicate packages.

Existing MSFS 2020 distribution. No author-confirmed MSFS 2024 compatibility and no in-simulator validation are claimed.

Install Riko_Royal_Aircraft_Factory_SE5 in MSFS 2020 Community. If the legacy installer or another tool manages an existing copy, remove it through that tool first. The Hub must not overwrite unmanaged files.

Early work in progress. Additional smoke effect and its two switches are not functional; the author says this aircraft was not set up for VR. MSFS 2024 compatibility is unconfirmed.

Existing website release 0.07: author correction to asset/output directories for hangar visibility. Embedded manifest 0.1.0 is unchanged. Native packaging preserves all 89 simulator files byte-for-byte and omits only an empty, unindexed installer placeholder; a separate distribution-context document is included.
