FS2004 Rockwell X31. The X-31 was designed to break the "stall barrier", allowing it to
fly at angles of attack which would typically cause an aircraft to stall resulting in
loss of control. The X-31 employs thrust vectoring paddles which are placed in the jet
exhaust, allowing the aircraft to maintain control at very high angles. The X-31 also
utilizes computer controlled canard wings to help keep the aircraft stable at high
angles of attack. The model features the usual moving parts, such as all flight
controls, spinning wheels, drag-chute and so on. The livery provided with this model
and the panel background have been created entirely from scratch, based on photographic
material found in the net. Included with this model is a simplified virtual cockpit,
with working essential gauges and animated flight controls. By Giovanni Quai and Italo
D'Attomo.

FS2004 Lockheed F-80 Shooting Star. Alpha Simulations is releasing some of their
classic titles as freeware. Panel and gauges are included. Features six models and six
textures. The first operational jet fighter of the USAAF, the Lockheed P-80/F-80 series
was essentially a P-51 Mustang with a jet engine. Utilizing the typical wing, fuselage,
and empennage of the piston engine era, the F-80's dimensions and armament were nearly
identical to the Mustang. However, the performance was far greater once the type came
into its own. Several examples were delivered for evaluation prior to war's end, but
the initial plans for 5,000 were abandoned after VJ-Day. The type saw service in Korea,
and was the basis for the outstanding T-33 trainer.

FS2004 Alphasim B-57 Canberra. Alpha Simulations is releasing some of their classic titles as freeware. Panel and gauges are included. Five models and five textures. The Martin B-57B was a much-modified version of the original Canberra. The first example flew on June 18, 1954, and featured a drastically-changed crew arrangement and canopy along with a host of other updates. The pilot and navigator sat in tandem, a flat forward windscreen was fitted to make a gunsight installation possible, and speedbrakes were installed in the waist position. Forward-firing guns - machine guns or cannon - were also installed. The B-57B also featured an unusual, rotating-drum type of bomb door that also served as the mounting point for the bombs. This invention saved a great deal of time rearming and also increased the bombing accuracy of the aircraft. The B-57B was in active service with the USAF until 1968, and served on occasion alongside the Canberra B.2.

FS2002/FS2004 Alpha Dassault Mirage IV. AlphaSim is releasing some of their
classic titles as freeware. Panel and gauges are included. Features three models
and three textures. The Mirage IV bomber was to have delivered nuclear weapons
using a free fall technique. When that method become obsolete the conversions of
19 of these to a more modern missile platform was initiated. Optimised for
low-level penetration, these aircraft used a sophisticated system of radar and
electronic devices to locate and destroy their targets. Several were later
converted to reconnaissance aircraft, and a number remained active through 1999.

FS2004 Alpha Shorts Belfast C.1. AlphaSim is releasing some of their classic
titles as freeware. Panel and gauges are included. Two models and two textures.
With a maximum takeoff weight of 230,000 lbs., the Belfast was one of the
largest turboprop aircraft ever built. Designed as a strategic freighter, its
range and speed were however rather poor. The first Belfast was delivered to 53
Sqn. RAF in 1966. Ten served with the RAF, they were all withdrawn in 1976, with
four continuing to operate with the HeavyLift Cargo Airlines, Stanstead.

Jets Organisation, based at Cape Town, South Africa. The real
XR773 presently wears an all-over-grey scheme from her final
days in RAF service, but this is a sample of what she would
look like, displayed in black - as the worlds only airworthy
single-seat Lightning. By Anglo-Virtual Aviation & Kazunori
