Manufacturer's Description
The Avro Lancaster is, without a doubt, the most famous bomber of all time. Designed by Roy Chadwick to win a war, it still sets pulses racing when the Battle of Britain Memorial Flight Lancaster makes its commemorative sorties. The expert vintage aircraft developers at Aeroplane Heaven have followed their success with Spitfire and produced the definitive Lancaster package.
Lancaster is officially licensed by the Royal Air Force. It features eight variants of the Lancaster in 15 liveries, including a modified Dam Busters aircraft (with animated bouncing bomb), the Battle of Britain Memorial Flight Lancaster and even a French Aeronavale version.
The level of detail in this package has only previously been seen in flight simulation expansions of complex modern airliners. A huge amount of historical research has been undertaken and virtual pilots can now leave their beautifully modelled cockpits and choose to sit in other parts of the aircraft. The alternative positions are from the viewpoint of the bomb aimer, air gunner, navigator and wireless operator.
Lancaster also includes a bonus version of the famous de Havilland Mosquito. The 'wooden wonder' could out-run most fighters of the day and is reproduced to the same high quality and accuracy as the rest of the Lancaster package.
The accuracy extends right down to the crew uniforms pilots of the display aircraft wear modern flying kit!
As if all this wasn't enough, Lancaster also comes with scenery of RAF Scampton and many unique special effects, including 'droppable'bombs, searchlights and moving turrets!
Lancaster is supplied in a variety of variants and liveries and all come with detailed crew stations that you can select to fly the aircraft from historic scenery of some of the more notable locations that the Lancaster is associated with is also included. As a fantastic bonus a fully featured de Havilland Mosquito is included for your reconnaissance/Pathfinder flights.This simulation illustrates life aboard Bomber Command's most famous bomber. Whilst it is impossible to re-create the experience of the real thing, Lancaster is the most accurate and evocative simulation of a Lancaster on 'ops'. Many new special effects have been created to add to the excitement and realism whether you choose to fly as pilot, navigator, radio operator/gunner or bomb-aimer.The Avro Lancaster is probably the most iconic heavy bomber of WWII and rates alongside the Spitfire as one of the most recognised. The supreme combat aircraft designers at Aeroplane Heaven have carefully crafted this aircraft with due respect and memory to the tireless crews who flew in them.Contains Lancaster Mk1 "Standard" - 3 liveries Lancaster Mk1 "Special" 617 Dambusters with Upkeep mine (bouncing bomb) - 2 liveries Lancaster Mk1 "Special" with Grand Slam ('earthquake') bomb - 1 livery Lancaster MkII with Hercules radial engines 2 liveries Lancaster MkIII "Standard" with 'H2S' radar installation - 2 liveries Lancaster MkIII Aeronavale - 3 liveries Battle of Britain Flight BMF in modern configuration - 1 livery Lancaster prototype - 1 livery de Havilland Mosquito - Pathfinder/Recon Includes Scenery of RAF Scampton
