Hi!
The game models the RE 8 in Belgian colours. The Aviation Militaire received 22 planes with Royal Aircraft Factory 4a engines, but the engines were later changed to Hispano-Suizas. The modification altered appearance of the planes
(see http://www.belgian-wings.be/Webpages...ctory_re_8.htm).
How about the Belgian plane in our game? What engine does it have? It has no raised exhausts (compare to two other RE 8s in the game) but it has four-blade propeller and a angular engine - looks like a RAF 4a.
But the marking on the fuselage and the letter B (or number 8?) on the rudder, they have a source and it is a handsome plane with Hispano-Suiza, from Bruessel: http://www.airliners.net/photo/Belgi...8dcbb89aac1314.
So... The plane in the game is just received and is not yet re-engined?
