Nun zur
Supermarine Scimitar F.Mk.1 die für
27.42 EUR hier gekauft werden kann.
New addition to the RAF/RN section - the Supermarine Scimitar F.Mk.1 ! The Fleet Air Arm's premier fighter of the 1960's was also Supermarine's last aircraft. Befitting the company who made the Spitfire, it also was a thing of beauty - and possessed massive amounts of power for a subsonic aircraft. The AlphaSim package truly does justice to this amazing piece of British aviation history - the full-specification FSX version actually includes V-C self shadowing, a brand-new feature only available with MicroSoft's forthcoming FSX Service Pack 2 (with Vista). We can confidently say this is the first-ever payware FS model to employ this stunning visual feature ! Another first for AlphaSim. The FSX v-c also has full gauge nightlighting and self-reflecting glass (also present in the FS9 version). The package includes no less than FOUR model variations (clean, 2 x tanks, Bullpups and Sidewinder versions), as well as SIX amazing texture sets with superbly-detailed 'weathering' and highly accurate squadron markings and insignia. The virtual cockpit has been built to a standard not seen before on an FS Cold War British jet, the detailing and texture work are breathtaking. Special fx of course enhance the realism - wingtip and wing root vapour trails come in at certain preset 'g' levels, the turbine glow effect is linked to RPM and smoke is emitted both at startup and in-flight. The animations were well-researched - the 'barn door' flaps and ventral flap/speedbrakes are accurately depicted, as are the amazing fuselage 'turkey feathers' speedbrakes and the flap-linked all-moving tail. Slats, tailhook and wingfold are there too. The detailed and apporopriate pilot figure is togglable using the water rudder function. The suitably-deafening soundset represents the twin Avons admirably. The flight model has two flavours too - one for the 'clean' version and a higher-drag, heavier one for the loaded versions. The actual Supermarine manual was used for the flight model as well as the cockpit functionalilty. The tricky handling characteristics (eg. slow engine response) have been modelled too, which makes this great model even more realistic and challenging to master properly. A must-have for all fans of naval aviation on both sides of the Atlantic ! And don't forget the Scimitar 'home base' scenery coming soon from AlphaSim - HMS Eagle (complete with AI Scimitars).....
So...zu guter Letzt noch ein paar Infos zu diesem Flieger.
