FEATURES AND LIMITATIONS OF THE SIMULATED F-35 LIGHTNING II

In order to provide a higher quality product, and keep the development time within reasonable limits, this package depicts only the F-35A, that is the
Conventional Take-Off and Landing version. While we tried our best to provide a realistic F-35 for Flight Simulator, this rendition of the F-35 Lightning II suffers from several limitations due to different factors.

As the real aircraft is still in development, and detailed and accurate drawings are not publicly available, the virtual rendition may be inaccurate in some details. Also, since the real aircraft is equipped with a revolutionary avionics suite, most of the exotic features are missing from this simulation.
Last, obviously, while the flight modeling has been kept as close as possible to the publicly available data and reflect the pireps, we cannot guarantee any
level of accuracy.

Any known inaccuracy, artistic license or difference from the real aircraft or any major limitation of this package, either due to Flight Simulator X restrictions or due to product design, will be highlighted in the manual.

FEATURES

External visual model:

High detail FSX:Acceleration native visual models, depicting the initial prototype AA-1, the weight optimized prototype AF-1 and production F-35A
(without external loads / with external JDAMs and AIM-9Ls / with external CBU and AIM-9Ls) Due to the high polycount, the model may not be suitable as AI plane, nor for large multiplayer formation flights.

Virtual cockpit model:

Accurate visual model based on publicly available images and information.
Cockpit layout and textures based on high definition photos of the F-35 AA-1 prototype. Some canopy details based of F-35 BF-02.
Custom collimated Virtual HUD and .XML code.


Flight modeling:

Custom flight model based on publicly available aircraft and engine performance data, test pilots reports and interviews.
Where estimated had to be made, the rationale has been engineering judgment against F-16 performance.

Sound:

No custom sound package is provided.
Sound is aliased from the default Acceleration Hornet; sound may be missing if the Acceleration package is not installed correctly.

Requirements

Microsoft Flight Simulator X:Acceleration or Gold versions. Will not work correctly or at all with other Flight Simulator versions.
