| The Avro Vulcan's beautiful lines and distinctive shape make it an icon of cold-war aviation. The Vulcan first flew in 1952, entered RAF service in 1957 and the final Vulcan flight was back in 1993. Vulcan XH558 is airborne again thanks to a grant and the tireless work of its dedicated fans. Now updated for FSX compatibility, RAF Vulcan includes a faithful model from acclaimed developers PSS of XH558 as it appears currently, an additional eight all-new liveries from some of the aircraft involved in the Falklands conflict of 1982, and some of the preserved aircraft in the UK.
RAF Vulcan contains a total of eighteen examples in different Squadron liveries and with different model variations, including the 2K air-to-air refuelling tanker variant and those carrying the Blue Steel British nuclear cruise missile, the Shrike anti-radar missile as used in the Falklands, and the `project cancelled' Skybolt missiles.
Unfortunately a few features of RAF Vulcan do not function in all the host sims: RAF Cottesmore scenery is only available in FS2002 & FS2004; The one-button `quick start' function only operates in FS2002 & FS2004; Autopilot is only available in FS2002, FS2004 & FSX (but not FSX with Acceleration and/or Service Pack 2 installed). | |
