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.

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.

FS2002/FS2004 DeHavilland DH.108 Swallow.
This was a British experimental aircraft designed by John Carver Meadows Frost in October 1945. The DH 108 featured a tailless, swept wing with a single vertical stabilizer, closely resembling the layout of the wartime German Messerschmitt Me 163 Komet rocket-powered point-defense interceptor.
Initially designed to evaluate swept wing handling characteristics at low and high subsonic speeds for the proposed early tailless design of the Comet airliner, three examples of the DH 108 were built to the Air Ministry specifications E.1/45 and E.11/45.
With the adoption of a conventional tail for the Comet, the aircraft were used instead to investigate swept wing handling up to supersonic speeds.
All three prototypes were lost in fatal crashes.
Two kinds of models(clean / with virtual weapon set) are included.

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.
