Hello Puma. I fly a Radio Control Sopwith TriPlane. Recently purchased an XBox s series. Where can I find a TriPlane to download?
Hi Lake. I bought my Nieuport from the official MSFS in-game marketplace. But I don’t know if there are any triplane addons for the game, yet. I believe it’s best if you just check out the “Aircraft” tab in the Marketplace and use the “Propeller” subcategory. If there is one, you should be able to find it there!
Thank you puma.
