The latest aircraft from the Aeroplane Heaven crew is an all-new
P-47D Thunderbolt for FSX and P3D v1-v4.
The Thunderbolt (or the 'Jug' as it was affectionately known) was one of the heaviest fighters of World War II and a very capable medium-range escort fighter and ground attack aircraft. It did, however, have an issue with visibility to the rear and so the canopy was modified with an all-encompassing ‘bubble top’ for better all-round vision. This new canopy resulted in the P-47D-25 designation and the Aeroplane Heaven add-on is modelled after the initial P-47D-25 bubble top specification.
The Thunderbolt comes in 15 high quality authentic liveries from the United States Army Air Force, Royal Air Force and Brazilian Air Force, with multiple innovative animations, an optional realistic animated pilot figure and modern high-resolution textures. Features include separate cockpit gauge lighting, custom sound set, gun firing effects, a choice of centre panel options and a load-out control.
Two flight models are supplied and an easy-to-use switcher utility lets you switch between the Pro-Flight version with authentic flight characteristics and the simpler Easy-Fly flight dynamics for those with less experience of this type of heavy high-performance aircraft.
