FS2004 Tupolev Tu-16 Badger. Alphasim is releasing some of their classic titles as freeware. Three panel styles with gauges are included. Five models and three textures.
The aircraft that ultimately evolved into the Tu-16 'Badger' was based upon the Soviet
Tu-4, an unlicensed counterfeit of the American B-29 Superfortress. The fuselage and
essential systems from the Tu-4 'Bull' were mated to a swept wing and twin jet engines,
resulting in the Type 88 prototype. This aircraft first took to the air on April 27,
1952. It fell far short of expectations but was rushed into production anyway. Its
performance was eclipsed by the B-47 Stratojet, the USAF counterpart of the time, but
the Tu-16 ultimately proved to be a durable airframe and was produced through the
1990's, the final versions being license-built in China.

FS2004 AlphaSim Bristol Beaufort. Alpha Simulations is releasing some of the classic titles as freeware. Panel and gauges are included. Two models and four textures. The Bristol Beaufort, a classic twin-engine bomber of the WWII era, had its beginnings with the design of the Type 142 Blenheim and Type 149 Bolingbroke. These were conceived as early as 1934, with the initial specification for the Beaufort coming about in late 1935. Known as the Type 152, the Beaufort was intended as a torpedo bomber and general reconnaissance aircraft. The first contracts were placed in 1936, however, the prototype did not fly until 1938 and squadrons were not equipped with the type until 1940. The Royal Australian Air Force built the type beginning in 1940, opting to use the more powerful Pratt and Whitney R-1830 in place of the Bristol Taurus with which the British version was fitted. 700 of the Australian versions were produced, while over 1,200 of the British variants were manufactured. The type served well until 1943, when the far superior Type 156 Beaufighter took over its duties.
