There are 3 new Airships available at my website:
http://fschmid.hp.altmuehlnet.de/flightgear.html
Two of them are from the lesser known Company Schütte-Lanz and the third is from Zeppelin.
From Schütte-Lanz:
- SL11
- SL20
From Zeppelin:
- L30 aka LZ62
The first one is a copy of the Nordstern with a new 3D Model, the others have adjusted FDMs and
of course a new 3D Model.
Major additions to the original Nordstern airship:
Greetings and Happy New Year.
