Just to up the ante here a bit more here's a look at the v-c of our B-24. The package (for FS9 and FSX) will include both the B-24D and the B-24J in two liveries each ('Diamond Lil', 'Hellsadroppin' II', 'Satan's Gal' and 'The Stork'). We are hoping to get droppable ordanance on the FSX version, which of course also be fully SP2-compatible with v-c self-shadowing and all the other cool FSX stuff

The 2D panel/gauge suite by Herbert Pralle is a masterpiece, that will be previewed in 24 hrs. The exterior models themselves will be shown in 24hrs after that. Sounds are by Turbine Sounds Studios and will include an FSX-specific sounds package for that sim with 'soundcones'.

New addition to the USA section - the B-24 Liberator ! This groundbreaking package features both the glazed-nose B-24D and the turret-nosed B-24G/J variants and five super-detailed texture sets which depict bare-metal, desert and olive drab schemes, all with carefully-drawn authentic nose art. This model package also debuts the AlphaSim 'Visual Load Editor' (VLE), a unique in-game graphical user interface where you can toggle on and off parts of the model such as the crew and bombload (aircraft weight will be updated automatically as bombs are loaded or unloaded). The package is for both FS9 and FSX, the FSX version is of course fully-featured with bump mapping, self-shadowing, bloom effect and v-c self shadowing for SP2/DX10 users. The FSX model beautifully demonstrates 2048-pixel texturing at its best, the sharpness has to be seen to be believed ! An amazing set of sounds by TSS are included with an FSX-specific version with 'soundcone' tech. The superlative quality continues with the panel suite, amazing detail abounds with custom-made B-24 gauges and authentically-styled popups for fuel, throttles and electrical systems. The v-c has every switch and knob of the real machine, but will not need a high-spec PC to run it. The majority of the v-c switches are mousable, even the radios can be operated from the radio operator's station in the rear. The external model features many animations, including opening 'shutter' bomb bay doors, crew figures who scan the skies for enemy fighters and a togglable waist gunner (and door), landing lights, retractable ventral ball turret, cowl flaps and sliding cockpit windows. Special effects include custom startup smoke and engine exhaust, even a fluttering flag can be hoisted out of the cockpit window ! The flight dynamics have been meticulously researched and efficiently beta-tested, even the turbosupercharger levers work and provide the exact effect stated in the published specs. A .pdf manual detailing the cockpit and instrument panel comes with the package, as well as a useful Excel spreadsheet which calculates turbocharger and throttle power settings for you. This is the package heavy bomber fans have been waiting for since flightsim was invented, a landmark model for flightsim and a must-have for ultra-realism fliers. A paintkit is also provided so new schemes will surely appear in due course.
For FSX (SP1, SP2/Accel) and FS2004 only.
