Summary
In this add-on to the SFX/2004 game, you can fly one of the world's best known heavy bombers of the second world war. The Lancaster is a big bundle of might, stamina and daring. Mass formations of this remarkable machine were seen nightly, leaving their airfields in England for targets deep inside enemy territory.
The level of detail in this package has only previously been seen in flight simulation expansions of complex modern airliners. A huge amount of historical research has been undertaken, and virtual pilots can now leave their beautifully modeled cockpits and choose to sit in other parts of the aircraft. The positions available are: Bomb aimer, Air Gunner, Navigator or Wireless Operator.
Special Operations cover the famous Dambuster Lancs with their spinning bombs. You can fly the Specials equipped to drop the mighty Tallboy and Grandslam earthquake bombs, the lesser known radial-engined MkII and the French machines of the AeroNavale. No other simulator release is as comprehensive or action feature packed!
Some of the tiniest details have been added, such as:
- Operating sliding windows
- Operating rear crew door revealing flare chute
- Operating clear-view quarter lights
- All switches and controls in cockpit including weapons bay door control, bomb jettison are operable
- Working armor plate headrest, swing out Radar kit, Navigators seat and folding engineer's seat
- Fully functional Engineer's panel
- Working turret controls to pan the turret and elevate the guns from the turret virtual cockpit
- The Bomb aimer's station is fully equipped with working auto-turn control, bomb arming switches, timers, bomb computer, and bomb release
- Retracting Landing lights
- The airframe has correct flap operation all highly detailed, working automatic elevator counter mass tabs, rudder trim tabs and the correct gear retraction sequence
- The mid upper turret rotates and the guns elevate and depress correctly to match the anti-strike track on the collar
- Full crew figures (depending on the variant selected) with animated pilot, bomb-aimer and mid-upper gunner
- Operating bomb bay doors with fully detailed bomb loads
