Just Flight Releases Mosquito Demo for FSX/FS2004

Posted on Thu, 30 Apr 2009 15:44:02 GMT

With both the boxed and download versions of the Mosquito now available, Just Flight is very pleased to announce that a demo version is now available for those who'd like to try before they buy.

The demo aircraft is the BOAC unarmed high speed courier aircraft, which features in the Mosquito Special Ops - Upgrade Pack A. This variant was adapted to carry one passenger in an extremely compact compartment in the bomb bay on high-speed envoy missions. The BOAC markings were an attempt at trying to convey to the enemy that the aircraft was unarmed, although the Mosquito's enviable high speed performance was a very handy defence!

Mosquito is as a great-value package in boxed and download versions. The package includes four aircraft spanning three classic Mosquito variants - the B. Mk IV, the FB. Mk VI and the frightening FB Mk XVIII Tsetse with its underslung flak gun. In addition, owners of Mosquito will be able to expand it further with two keenly priced upgrade packs, available exclusively from the Just Flight web site. Costing just £4.99 each, the upgrades will add a total of eight additional aircraft types in sixteen liveries to the Mosquito hangar.

Built from wood and powered by two Rolls-Royce Merlins, the Mosquito was a formidable aircraft with the speed of a fighter, the manoeuvrability of a racer and the payload of a bomber. Now flight simulation enthusiasts can experience the same blistering performance in this brilliant package for Flight Simulator X or 2004.

• The high-quality models are accompanied by many unique animations and superb textures covering a range of aircraft along with the distinctive sound of the Rolls-Royce Merlin engines.
• The cockpits are equipped with the latest "smooth" gauges for more realism and just about every switch, button and control lever operates with the mouse - even the crew doors open with the lever! Everything is historically and technically authentic right down to the panel bolts and brackets.
• In the bomber version, the 'bomb room' is equipped with a working sight, arming switches and trigger. Even the emergency axe hangs on the fuselage wall!
• The exterior models are finely detailed with correct movement for the flaps, radiator shutters, rudder and elevator trim tabs, bomb doors and more. The landing gear is highly detailed down to brake lines and hydraulic actuators.
• Many novel effects are featured, including dropping of ordnance, smoke and firing guns.
