MSFS Avro Vulcan B2

The MSFS Avro Vulcan B2 add-on introduces the iconic Avro Vulcan B2 to the skies of Microsoft Flight Simulator. Known for its distinctive delta wing and role in Cold War-era strategic bombing, the Vulcan B2 add-on captures the essence of this historic aircraft with meticulous attention to detail.

Development and Design

Developed over a period of three years, this project is a labor of love from an enthusiast with a deep appreciation for the Avro Vulcan. The external model boasts a completely new design, capturing the Vulcan's unique profile and characteristics. The cockpit, while a mix of various elements, presents an immersive and functional experience.

Main Features

• Realistic Flight Dynamics: The aircraft exhibits powerful performance, mirroring the Vulcan's real-life capabilities with a top speed adjustment for simulation realism.
• Detailed Cockpit: An operational cockpit with functional lights and instruments enhances the pilot experience.
• Authentic Sounds: Customized sound sets provide a more authentic and immersive audio experience, surpassing default sounds.
• Two Liveries: The add-on includes two distinct liveries – Camouflage and White – allowing for a variety of visual experiences.

Technical Aspects

The Vulcan B2 add-on integrates the Boeing 747's electrical and fuel systems, simplifying start-up procedures while maintaining authenticity. The aircraft's flight characteristics are finely tuned, demanding skillful handling, especially during landing phases where pattern speed and reverse thrusters play a critical role.

Historical Context

The real-world Avro Vulcan B2, notably the XH558, served as a strategic bomber during the Cold War and later transitioned into maritime reconnaissance and air-to-air refueling roles. The MSFS add-on pays homage to this versatile aircraft's history, providing enthusiasts with an opportunity to experience its legacy in a virtual environment.
