FSX SAA DeHavilland Comet

SAA’s leased De Havilland Comet brings early jetliner history to life with an authentic South African Airways livery, a detailed external model, and a matching virtual cockpit and panel for classic airliner operations. Designed for Microsoft Flight Simulator X, it captures the Comet’s pioneering look and feel for vintage route flying.

This De Havilland Comet aircraft was leased by SAA from BOAC. They were the first jet passenger aircraft in the world. A Comet flying to Johannesburg from London broke up near Naples. Subsequently all Comets were grounded and were withdrawn from Service. Model by Dee Waldron. Panel by Marco Spada. Textures by Peter Tredre.
