Landing takes a huge amount of effort thanks to the incredible landing speeds, and safe flight requires constant monitoring of systems. For studious pilots, this offers a fine chance to really challenge yourself with an aircraft very much different to what one might expect.

If you would like to try a loud, rapidly fast aircraft then the Electric Lightning T5 might just be an option.

What’s Included?

As part of this download, users will get access to the English Electric Lightning T5 interceptor aircraft. Alongside this, you get four major models to pick from alongside fourteen liveries split across each model. This includes the T5, T55 and T55K models of the class of aircraft, offering variety.

You can choose from your own firepower, too. Users can, if they have access to the TacPack add-on, make use of both Firestreak or Redtop missiles depending on personal preference. A whole new and freshly coded brake chute has been included, too, alongside a new re-fuelling rate in line with reality (TacPack required).

Full Autopilot and Flight Director features are now part of the system, too. Users who may enjoy the use of an aircraft for cinematic shots and rapid autopilot flights may find comfort here.

Full navigation is included with Direct TACAN, ILS and ADF models at the same time. A new radar system was conceptualized, too. This offers simpler management of what you can see, with coastlines, runways, and air traffic shown alongside attack radar (TacPack only) functionality.

For users who wish to know more, you receive a lot of literature to read through. From reference cards to recommended settings, you should find it easy to set up your Electric Lightning T5. Make sure you fully understand each part of the aircraft before you take to the skies!
