FSX Challenger 2 Tank

The British Army’s Challenger 2 main battle tank brings ground-driving variety to FSX with tuned dynamics for a convincing tracked feel and responsive steering. Animated turret and gun follow flight-control inputs, making joystick or pedals especially useful, and the model pairs well with military scenery for immersive base and range runarounds.

The Challenger2 is the British Army's Main Battle Tank. This model was made using public domain drawings and photos found on the internet. It was modelled using 3D Canvas modelling software and compiled using the FS9 MakeMDL compiler. As a result I'm told it does work in FS9 if the camera definitions section of the aircraft.cfg is removed... Only attempt this if you are familiar with how to edit the airctaft.cfg file. Bruce has done a good job of the dynamics to give a good tank like feel.Rick Dorr has suggested a few minor changes to improve handling which I have added. Its not perfect but You will just have to accept these as limitations of the model. The turret and gun move based on Aileron and Elevator movement and steering is based on rudder... so a twistgrip joystick or pedals will be an advantage. We hope you enjoy this model. Its meant to be just a bit of fun... something different to drive within the Sim and goes quite well with some of the existing Military scenery that is available for Flight Sim. Decompiling and using for any other purpose is not allowed. There is no VC/2D panel I'm afraid as I dont have panel making skills at present, but anyone out there in the FS comunity who wants to have a go at a 2D Panel is most welcome... but the panel must be uploaded as a separate item. The same goes for any effects or improved Sounds that anyone wants to do.
