Product Description

P-38 Lightning is back! Known as the ¿Fork Tailed Devil¿ in the Far East the P-38 was a sight to behold and strike fear into the enemy¿s hearts. Over Europe, in the Mediterranean and across the Pacific, the Lockheed P-38 Lightning made a massive contribution to the allied victory in the air during WWII. As a fighter, ground attack or reconnaissance plane, the P-38 was a true multi-role aircraft. This classic has been notable by its absence in the simulated skies far too long until now. Lockheed's high performance, twin engine Lightning is re-created at a remarkably high level of detail in F and J variants by the award-winning partnership of Just Flight and Aeroplane Heaven and is now ready for you to fly on MS Flight Simulator X and 2004. Includes the recently restored `Glacier Girl¿.

If you're a fan of MS Flight Simulator X and like older military aircraft this is a must add-on. The detail of the aircraft is exceptional. The flight control is great. Lots of bells and whistles to keep you occupied before and during a flight. Recommended for all ages.

This is a fantastic add-on for FSX, especially fans of warbirds in general and the legendary P-38 Lightning in particular. The attention to detail in the cockpit is fantastic and the flight dynamics are responsive and seem accurate to what one would expect flying the full scale version. My only critiques are that I wish they had even more liveries to choose from (although there are several to be fair) and the exterior textures are not as high resolution and quality as I would prefer. If they had HD quality textures it would really complete this wonderful add-on.

Regardless, this is a fantastic way to experience what it would be like to dance around the skies in the mighty P-38 Lightning!

For serious flight enthusiasts only. Sound is great, right down to the supercharger whine. All the toggles and
gauges are there, which reminds one how smart and how alert the guys who flew this machine during WWII had
to be. Inclusion of Dick Bong's Marge was a very nice touch for a UK company. Those blokes are all right.
