The amazing Blackbird has landed at AlphaSim HQ. The A variant comes with two texture sets and some optional tail markings, the B trainer variant is also included. An incredible v-c complements the incredible performance of this stunning model. The animations include - pilot figures, inlet spikes (moving these in increases speed at high altitude), canopies, nozzles and a braking parachute. What really sets this model apart though are the afterburners - these engage automatically at maximum throttle and really light up the sky!
