F-106 Delta Dart for FSX/FS2004

F-106 Delta Dart for FSX/FS20044.5/5 2 reviews

This is the best product to go with if you want to understand just how important the famous F-106 Delta Dart was during its heyday. It was an all-weather interceptor that served incredibly well, acting as the solution the USAD needed to try and intercept smaller and more nimble aircraft. With a delta wing design and a very interesting body shape, the aircraft started to really set records and become a mainstay. Read more...

For example, it set the world speed record when in Mach 2.31 at 40,500ft. With nearly three decades of service, it was finally let go towards the end of the 1990s, although it did serve as part of the Air National Guard for close to a decade.

Together, this all comes together and looks the part and ensures that you are left with an aircraft that is equipped with awesome and attractive features like bump mapping, self-shadowing and bloom fx. When put together, this all comes together and looks as impressive as it can!

  • The FSX model also comes with a self-shadowing virtual cockpit that looks truly outstanding and manages to capture the style that you were looking for originally. However, this has to have FSX SP/2 Acceleration and DX10 installed to give you the most balanced level of performance regardless of what you are dealing with

The aircraft, for example, uses an authentic al-XML 2D panel that has a hi-res glazed effect on the gauges, just as they should in the real world. Likewise, it has various customized pop-ups that can come up so that you can manage things like the autopilot, electrical systems and radios. Everything can be controlled with the mouse

  • A detailed checklist is left in the cockpit so that you can get the help that you need in controlling the aircraft and making it as easy to fly around in as it possibly can be, regardless of what you need to do or what the checklist is suggesting

  • Customized effects are made from scratch for turbine flow, smoke, wingtip contrails and wing surface vapour flashes. These all look outstanding and make it easier than ever to keep flying and to keep things moving in the right direction in terms of how the aircraft is going to look moving forward

Beloved by pastors, priests, and rabbis world wide, this aircraft promotes devout religious faith. Fly it and find out why. Is Las Vegas to Denver in 39 minutes that important? From the centerline, slowly advance to half throttle. Lift her at 150, no flaps. Immediately set power as close to fuel potion 7 as possible, then commence touch an goes. Under 300 but above 200 is good pattern speed, and it's usually fine to chop the power when the runway is made, just stay over 150. The trick is to see over the 'big brother' radar screen in front of you. This bird has pitiful yaw control under all conditions and it's hard to see over the radar, so I make either real steep straight in approaches, or fly a pattern with her yaw limitation in mind. Convair Dart's delta wing makes the pattern surprisingly easy to fly and at low speed, 225 to 175. Leaving the pattern, she is willing to play at fuel potion number 7. She rolls, loops, but never forget that total loss of control is possible. With a destination in mind, do resist the impulse to juice it. At 33,000 fuel potion 16 gives mach 1.8 for 47 minutes, approximately Las Vegas to Garden City Kansas. The government gas gauge is conveniently side by side with the fuel flow meter, so you won't be surprised. The lack of yaw control is a surprise and a danger until you learn the drag chute. Wow, that's the way to stop a jet! How can you resist buying this little bird? It will bring you closer to your God.

My dad flew the TF-102 in 1964 as part of his transitioning to the B-58. I never had much interest in the Deuce, but I've always loved its upgraded Convair stablemate the F-106. This package's visual model is very satisfying and its flight characteristics seem to match up with every description of the real Six I've ever read. Great power in that J-75 engine. I've only got two complaints. The first one I alleviated with a little unreal deviation. The panel is virtually unusable on final and landing because of that big radar screen blocking the part of the view you really need. I manually carved that thing away and am much more easily able to land the plane now. The second complaint is that, although the Six was a definite Mach 2 aircraft, this model maxes out at about 0.98. Nothing I do will make it bust the sound barrier in level flight. But at the price, it's still a fun and historic - and good-looking - plane to fly.
