This completely free Battlestar Galactica Raider for Microsoft Flight Simulator X showcases a painstakingly crafted model that offers exceptional agility under extreme performance conditions and integrates realistic spacecraft-like controls. Originally built by the talented developers at the BSG Modding Team, this package comes with a comprehensive freeware base model and is fully optimized for enthusiasts seeking a high-fidelity sci-fi experience within their simulator.
High-Performance Flight Dynamics
The Raider features specialized aerodynamics designed to push FSX (Microsoft Flight Simulator X) boundaries. Its notable capabilities include:
- Full Flight Envelope: Engineered to operate smoothly at every speed range, ensuring seamless transitions from low-speed hover-like maneuvers to supersonic flight.
- Max Speed of 2667 Knots: Built to exploit the simulator’s top velocity limits, allowing for astonishing accelerations.
- Vigorous G Tolerance [ability to handle extreme acceleration forces]: Maintains flight stability even under extraordinarily high dynamic pressures and intense gravitational loads.
Vectored Thrust & Advanced Control Surfaces
Incorporating vectored thrust [directional manipulation of engine output] for enhanced maneuverability, this Raider stands apart from conventional aircraft in FSX. It employs:
- High Thrust Propulsion: Optimized power output offers reliable acceleration and sustained velocity, perfectly suited for rapid climbs or evasive tactics.
- SuperSpoilers: Special spoiler surfaces respond swiftly, promoting agile handling and precise altitude control.
- Deflection Flaps: Integrated for hovering flight, these surfaces manipulate airflow to simulate vertical takeoffs and landings in a futuristic context.
Robust Construction & Authentic Sci-Fi Elements
Inspired by the renowned Battlestar Galactica series, this Raider artfully recreates the distinctive shape and rugged exterior of the Cylon starfighter. It is meticulously modeled to convey the iconic profile seen in the show while still conforming to the flight physics within Microsoft Flight Simulator X. The faithful textures capture hull outlines, panel lines, and sci-fi markings with remarkable detail.

Great in textures, very easy to fly!. Great job!!
Why would you download if you were looking for realism? It's not like you're a cylon....or are you....
