P-72 for CFS 3

Republic XP-72 “Superbolt” brings a rare, late‑war powerhouse to Combat Flight Simulator 3, pairing a 3,500‑hp engine with contra‑rotating propellers for blistering speed and punch. Built around the two real prototypes, it delivers a convincing flight feel, detailed external model, and an immersive virtual cockpit for aggressive prop-era missions.

CFS3

3500 HP and contrarotating props. This is the Superbolt! Two were built, and had it not been for the advent of the jet engine, this aircraft surely would've been put into production. She is fast and powerful! Mike Wholaver.
