Douglas D-558-2 achieved Mankind's first Mach 2 on November 20, 1953. I've been longing for aircraft since I was a kid, but somehow I got to know D-558-2 six months ago. The reason was that the glory of Chuck Yeager and Bell X-1 was so dazzling that I couldn't see D-558-2. And Albert Scott Crossfield and Douglas D-558-2, who achieved the world's first Mach 2, became my heroes alongside the X-1. The very elegant streamlined design of D-558-2 is very beautiful. It's a very perfect design! The triangular canopy glass is small and the pilot's face appears to be trapped. What a small and unique cockpit. What does the landscape from this cockpit look like? And I was excited to see the powerful take-off photo of D-558-2 using JATO(Takeoff support rocket unit). I wanted to reproduce these in FSX. This model is D558-2 number 3 and is a hybrid of turbojet and rocket engine. I dedicate this model for the great history of aircraft. FSDS v3.5 model by uenoshing. We have not confirmed the operation other than FSX ACCELERATION. Edit: Works in P3D too.

What if the events of Ace Combat Zero took place in an early Cold War era? This is my take on Solo Wing Pixy (Galm 2) if he flew the MiG-15. Repaint for the freeware MiG-15bis by Jean-Pierre Langer and co. (FSX/P3D native version)

The Mikoyan-Gurevich MiG-19S(NATO: name: Farmer-C is a Soviet second generation, single-seat, twinjet fighter aircraft, the world's first mass-produced supersonic aircraft. It was the first Soviet production aircraft capable of supersonic speeds in level flight, and a dread foe in a knife fight. 2020 FSX native update of the Yan Yao MiG-19. It's the one out of all the freeware FARMERs that gets the shape and belligerent look of the MiG-19 down cold. The model is an elderly GMAX, and has a fes minor glitches I could not entirely minimize or fix, see the readme for details. It's still a great looking model, the glitch isn't too glaring. It's not, really. And, the price is right. No VC, so I Frankenstein`d a 'soviet twin' together out of a Su-15 VC. Model by Yan Tao.

The MiG-17 is a refined version of the famous MiG 15 of the Korean War. Although similar in appearance to the MiG-15, the MiG-17 has more sharply swept wings, is about three feet longer, reheat fitted and most of the MiG-15`s bad manners ameliorated. 2020 FSX native update, for FSX/P3D; just the tanked and clean model-the armed versions arms look a bit hokey. It's typical Ito-San Ca.2004, still an nice, slippery model,a number of good repaints, great fun. Effects are all in place, VC is AlphaBlu MiG-15Bis. NOTE: You must have the ALPHA BLEU CIEL MiG-15Bis installed. There are a number of file dependenciies pointing back at the ALPHA BLEU CIEL MiG-15Bis folder. Model by Kazunori Ito

The Mikoyan-Gurevich MiG-15 (NATO:FAGOT) is a jet fighter aircraft developed by Mikoyan-Gurevich for the Soviet Union. The MiG-15 was one of the first successful jet fighters to incorporate swept wings to achieve high transonic speeds. The MiG-15 is believed to have been one of the most produced jet aircraft; in excess of 13,000 were manufactured. Licensed foreign production may have raised the production total to almost 18,000. The MiG-15 remains in service with the Korean People's Army Air Force as an advanced trainer. 2020 FSX native update to FSX/P3D of the ALPHA BLEU CIEL MiG-15Bis Simple, pretty, gorgeous external and clickable VC. A schwack of paints by Sean Doran. This is one fabulous FAGOT.

Mitsubishi F-2A #13-8508 "Black Panthers" repaint textures for freeware "Team FS KBT F-2A" These textures depict F-2A 508 in the special "Black Panthers" paint scheme of the 8th TF Sqdrn, Misawa AB.

The Sukhoi Su-7 (NATO designation name: Fitter-A) is a swept wing, supersonic fighter aircraft developed by the Soviet Union in 1955, with service introduction in 1959. The Su-7B series became the main Soviet fighter-bomber and ground-attack aircraft of the 1960s. FITTERs were rugged and simple, but short ranged and had a light weapon load. The Su-9/11-Su-7B family was well-liked by aircrews, and led to the Su-15 series and the very effective Su-17/22 family of combat jets. Su-7B FITTER by Mehlin Rainer, for FS9, ca.2010 FSX native version 2020 by Y.T. Models included for clean and various weapon load-outs: Long range interdictor, Nuclear Strike, Close Air Support bomb (FAB100M46), and S-24 heavy rocket. Bombs and rockets provided, load-outs from a saved flight, see readme for simple instructions. Merged in DRStalker80's Su-9 VC. It's largely identical in aircraft systems, though the nav-attack suite differs- the Su-9 has a full search/track/fire control radar system and other all-weather IA-PVO interceptor kit. The Su-7B carries a ranging set and largely VFR nav-attack suite. NOTE: You must have the DRSTALKER80 Su-9B FISHPOT for FSX installed for this to work. There are a number of dependencies for textures, panel, sounds aliased back to the Su-9B(DS). Weapons from a CFS2 kit by Laszlo Becz. Nuclear stores and auto-cannon object by Y.T.

Sukhoi's Su-9B and Su-11 FISHPOT were large, single engine all weather interceptors that served with the IA-PVO Strany from 1959 to the mid eighties. These are new and old FS9 models updated to FSX standard materials and tags. Su-9B(DS) by By Drstalker80, systems by Alex Belov. Conversion to FSX with gracious permission of the author. Su-9B(BH), Su-11(BH), and R8M AAM by Brett Hoskins. FSX native conversions, features, scut work by Y.T. NOTE: You must have the (enclosed)DRSTALKER80 Su-9B FISHPOT for FSX installed for this to work. There are a number of dependencies for textures, panel, sounds aliased back to the Su-9B(DS).

We all know and love Mr. KBT. He is working on a Shin-Meiwa US-2A amphibian, but it's not quite ready yet. These things take time. Mr. KBT has, however, made a sneak peek avaliable. It is an AI version, for water only, so the gear is not modeled, and things are simplified. It looks great, the flight controls are there, and the main door opens. So, for a boat enthusiast, it wets the whistle. The KBT US-2 page is here: https://viperhiro.wordpress.com/category/shinmaywa/ The external AI model may be down loaded here: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1F_E9a62J-nZTxvIawTOdBY2xMxENUUBM These files are for a temporary merge of the KBT P-3 VC, and the config file set up with L'Azur seaplane performance mod. It also works fine as an AI model, retaining the more realistic water performance. This also pemits realistic scooping for fire bombing, curved take-off and landings, and general wet fun.
