Said to be the most successful training aircraft ever produced, the Cessna 172 Skyhawk first entered production in 1958, since when more than 40,000 have been built. The ‘N’ model was introduced in 1977 and featured an upgraded engine, with additional options such as air conditioning and larger fuel tanks becoming available before the introduction of the model ‘P’ successor.



Developed by Carenado, the FSX: Steam Edition version of the C172N Skyhawk is a beautifully detailed aircraft ideal for VFR flying. This pack includes four paint schemes and two models, with and without fairings. (Fairings are externals features which cover gaps and spaces between parts of an aircraft in order to reduce drag).



Features include:

External dynamic shadows, internal dynamic shadows on VC, normal mapping, specular mapping and bloom lights
Polygon optimized model
Interactive virtual cockpit
Animations include ailerons, elevators, rudders, flaps, rolling wheels, doors, pilot’s window, tilting co-pilot seat, sun visor, fresh air control and vibrating antenna
3D modelled pilot and cockpit area
Details include pitot pressure chamber, antennas, chocks, pitot tube cover
Custom panel and gauges
Realistic light effects on gauges
Nightlight effects on panel
Real weight and balance
4 paint schemes
2 models: with and without fairings
Normal and Emergency Procedures PDF

A famous name from the 1940s comes to FSX: Steam Edition! The Hawker Hurricane lost out somewhat in the fame stakes to the much more renowned Spitfire, but the reality is that Hurricanes proved more effective than Spitfires in the Battle of Britain. It was a more robust aircraft, and its fabric-over-frame construction meant that it was cheaper and quicker to build and repair than the Spitfire with its monocoque all-metal construction. The prototype first flew on the 6th November, 1935, and the aircraft was steadily improved and altered to eventual production standard.



Developed by Just Flight, Battle of Britain Hurricane add-on for FSX: Steam Edition includes three versions of this remarkable aircraft, from the Prototype through the early Mk1 two-bladed Rotol propeller version to the Mk1's more refined three-bladed propeller type. With an incredibly detailed cockpit, several model variations, exacting flight dynamics, realistic engine sounds and top quality paint schemes, the Hurricane makes an ideal stablemate for its famous sister, the Supermarine Spitfire (also available in the FSX: Steam Edition store).



Features include:

Highly detailed exterior models
High quality interactive 3D Virtual Cockpit
Realistic sounds
Canopy jettison feature
11 authentic liveries
Animated pilot figure
Detailed Merlin engine visible
Numerous animations
High fidelity flight model
Detailed manual
Engine start and gun effects
Multiple viewpoints
Opening inspection hatches and a fully detailed exterior cockpit
Removable features include fuel tank cover, inspection panel on starboard side and gun hatches on wing



Includes Hawker Hurricane Mk1 'Battle of France' period model with wooden two-bladed propeller, ring-and-bead gun sight, fabric wings as well as Hawker Hurricane Mk1 'Battle of Britain' period model

Interior models recreating early Hurricane with ring-and-bead gun sight as well as Mk1 production cockpit with reflector gunsight



Exterior models built following the most accurate plans available, to achieve highly accurate profiles and shapes
Features modelled fabric over stringer rear fuselage
Specular and bump mapped where appropriate
Engine start battery trolley
Virtual cockpits completely modelled to portray the real cockpit in full detail
Every switch, knob and lever works, most with bespoke animation code
Shadow textured where appropriate
Animations include sliding canopy, animated pilot figure, canopy jettison feature, undercarriage, movable radiator flap, retracting foot step and hand grabs, flaps, rudder, elevators, ailerons and trim tabs
Fuel tank cover can be removed to reveal tank, supply pipes and fittings
Inspection panel on starboard side can be removed to reveal cockpit detail
Gun hatches on wing can be removed to reveal Browning machine guns, ammunition feeders and fully modelled shells
Special effects include engine start smoke effect and gun firing effects and sounds
Highly detailed texture mapping without compromising frame rates
Layered paint kit included to help create your own liveries (suitable additional paint program such as Photoshop required)

In the 1930s the Grumman Aircraft Company was looking for ways to promote its new line of fast biplane fighter-bombers, so in 1936 an F3F-1 was equipped with a 1,000-horsepower Wright Cyclone engine and specially modified for high-stress manoeuvring and aerobatics.



The standard F3F-1 of the period had a two-blade propeller but the new aircraft was fitted with a three-blade Hamilton Standard propeller of 9ft. diameter. With this power plant on board the aircraft could achieve speeds of close to 300 MPH and could climb at 2,000 feet per minute – impressive performance for 1936!



Delivered to the Gulf Oil Company, the aeroplane was flown extensively by Major Al Williams, Gulf’s chief test pilot, to demonstrate the new techniques employed in tactical dive-bombing. Dubbed ‘Gulfhawk II’, the aircraft and its pilot toured the USA and Europe demonstrating high-speed aerobatics and precision flying.



In 1943 Major Williams was asked by General Henry H. ‘Hap’ Arnold to undertake a three-month tour of US airfields to demonstrate airmanship and precision flying. The aircraft made its last demonstration flight in 1948 before being retired to the Smithsonian National Air and Space Museum in Washington DC, where the brightly painted orange machine still hangs as a lasting reminder of those barnstorming days.



The Just Flight version of the Grumman Gulfhawk II for FSX Steam Edition features a beautiful hi-fidelity model down to the fine details. With a realistic sound pack and various animations, the Gulfhawk is a must-have addition for your add-on collection!



Features include:

Hi-fidelity model with superb detail including modelled rivets and overlapping panels
Beautifully detailed nine-cyclinder Wright Cyclone engine
Stereo sound pack includes the ‘stutter start’ of the big Cyclone radial
Unique animations include vibrating exhausts and gear retraction
Authentic animated VC
Accurate flight dynamics
Fully detailed and animated cockpit in exterior model
Cockpit sounds such as switches, knobs and levers
‘Sunsplinter’ effects on Perspex
In-game options - configuration panel allows for seat height adjustment and view angles in the VC and the removal of the pilot when on the ground
Choice of electric or cartridge starts
