A legendary biplane has taken to the skies today in Flight Simulator! The Tiger Moth might be a 75 year old veteran of the skies, it is a landmark in the aviation world. So much so that many pilots still train with the aircraft to this day. And if you ever see that famous dual wing silouette up int he friendly skies, it's probably a Tiger Moth. And now you can take it for a spin in the virtual skies of Flight Simulator X and FS2004 for your personal enjoyment. Thismagnificent aircraft package includes three different models of the aircraft. There's the RAF and RAAF trainers, the civilian transport aircraft, and the special glass-canopied version from the Canadian Warplane Heritage Museum. Different variations and liveries for each individual model essentially provide you with eight different aircraft. * The aircraft models are near-exact replicas of their real counterparts and have been authenticated by the de Havilland Moth Club and the Canadian Warplane Heritage Museum. * Accuracy extends to replicating changes in individual aircraft specifications such as autoslats, engine cowls or lights. * Special night lighting effects in Flight Simulator X. * Highly accurate flight modelling replicates the correct airframe performance, stall moments and flying behaviour. * The aircraft feature full virtual front and rear cockpits, opening access doors, functioning rear luggage hatch, animated engines behind animated cowling panels, animated blind flying hood, working 'windy' airspeed indicator, animated control wires, pilot figures... the list goes on! * The D.H.82A variant includes a paint kit so that users can repaint their own aircraft using a suitable graphics program.
