Today third-party developer Aeroplane Heaven released a relevant warbird for Microsoft Flight Simulator, which will likely please World War II fans, the Spitfire Mk1A.
The add-on is available for the PC version of the sim on the developer’s own store or Orbx Direct for $32.95. At the moment, there are no details on possible future availability for Xbox.
It comes with the following features:
- Beautifully crafted exterior and interior models built from years of research and using factory drawings and plans.
- Fully detailed authentic cockpit with many unique animations and functions.
- “Modern” avionics suite available with a switch-out for those that like a modern approach to their simming!
- Special effects include engine exhaust and radiator heat vapour
- Highly accurate, animated pilot with correct 1938 pattern goggles, sunshade and oxygen mask.
- Functional exterior battery cart, mandatory for starting early Spitfires
- Beautifully crafted, professional “Merlin II” sound set.
- Highly accurate flight dynamics and performance specifications ensure an authentic flight.
- Unique coding irons out that terrible MSFS “tail-dragger” behaviour!
The package also includes the following liveries:
- 19 Squadron – “QV” original and restored versions.
- 19 Squadron – “QV-K Squadron Leader Brian Lane “Yellow-nose”
- 602 Squadron – “LO-G” P.O. O. Hanbury
