P-38 Lightning for FSX/FS2004

It was built in a direct response to the outbreak of the Second World War, giving everyone a chance t to utilize the new technology and upgrades that had been made since the First World War. Because the war took place on so many different environments and temperatures, the P-38 Lightning got to test itself on many different theatres and landscapes.

It was used to carry out a variety of jobs, too, from carrying troops and acting as a aircraft fighter to protect aircraft on bombing runs. Additionally, high-altitude Photo Reconnaissance roles were commonplace as the war began to drag on and more duties were required of the stretched resources of both sides.

This is an aircraft that deserves to be remade and relived in flight simulation today, providing an incredible package of what the world of aircraft used to feel like and, indeed, just how powerful the aircraft was. If you want to take one of the most iconic flight experiences of the last few decades up into the skies and feel like a WWII pilot then this is the most detailed representation out there on the web at the moment of this specific kind of aircraft.

This remake has been commissioned by the popular Aeroplane Heaven, leaving you a completely accurate and detailed edition of this amazing aircraft, which makes it easier than ever for the most dedicated and passionate of WWII vets and enthusiasts to really enjoy themselves.

Made with a completely unique virtual cockpit that has been made from scratch to provide the best possible design structure and to emit authenticity as much as possible, this gives you an aircraft that lets you feel as if you are right back in the real thing itself, prompting and easy and enjoyable flight mission!

Additionally, it’s been designed from scratch using hours of footage and information gathered from the web and experts to create the most realistic design possible. This makes it easier than ever to get the aircraft to look just as it would in real-life, with everything from the gun and camera bays to the very rivets and bolts that hold the thing together taken care of at the very highest level of design.

Within the package itself, you gain access to two different aircraft – the Adrian Warburton equivalent, and the Antoine de St Exupery, both of which vanished and were lost in mystifying circumstances and were never recovered.
