If you've yet to experience the P-38 Lightning package currently on sale on DVD Rom and as a 102Mb Download you can now take a demo aircraft for a spin.

A fully functional model of the P-38J 'Curly Six' aircraft included in the full P-38 Lightning expansion pack is now available to download here (77Mb). Product Page

The demo will run a short video before installing and there's no time limit on the aircraft. It will work in both FSX and FS2004 and is also fully Vista compatible.

The full Lightning package costs £24.99/€37.95/$49.99 and includes a further 16 versions of this iconic multi-role aircraft.

A high quality version of Lockheed's iconic high altitude fighter/recon aircraft has long been sought after by flight sim enthusiasts. Now their prayers are answered with this superb Lightning pack for Flight Simulator X and 2004, created by the classic aircraft experts at Aeroplane Heaven. The level of detail is second to none and among the many variants included will be the aircraft of two Lightning legends - Antoine de St Exupery and W/Cdr Adrian Warburton.

Flight models, sounds and paint schemes are all created at a very high level of accuracy and authenticity and P-38 Lightning is set to take its place with the other classics in the Just Flight hangar.

  • Innovative features include drop tanks that can be jettisoned, detailed gun and camera bays, removable gunsight for improved vision in cockpits and even working gun and cannon effects.
  • Cockpits are a revelation, with all major and minor controls capable of operation by mouse and virtually every lever, switch and wheel is reproduced. Gauges are set in authentic housings and use the unique 'Liqui-Drive' system to guarantee smooth operation.
  • As real as it gets? This aeroplane can be started and flown correctly by the numbers from a 'cold and dark' cockpit.
  • Includes P-38F and P-38J variants with a total of 16 different liveries, including the recently restored 'Glacier Girl'

P38 is currently featured in the In Development section on the Just Flight web site. For more information and to see some great looking screen shots click here.
