The YF12 was an experimental interceptor version of the Lockheed A-12. It very much resembled the the more famous SR-71 Blackbird. In test flights in 1965 the aircraft set a speed record of 2070 mph and an altitude record of 80,257 feet. This utilizes the FSX Alphasim Arrow MK2 2D panel and adds a new basic VC and smoke effects. Original model by Kazunori Ito, updated by Michael Pook.

Installation:

  • Copy the YF-12 folder into your FSX/ Simobjects/ aircraft directory.
  • Copy the gauges in the gauges folder into your main FSX gauges folder and the smoke effect into your main FSX effects directory.
  • That's it, enjoy your flight!

Credits go to Kazunori Ito for his original model and to Alphasim for their panel.

    Does this version have an updated VC?

    Nice Work, But the VC is eyecancer, it would be even nicer with the new SR71A Gmax Academy VC, or simply as a SR71A "Skin"
