Flight1/AlphaSim have released their B-24 Liberator for Flight Simulator X and Flight Simulator 9.
Five authentic aircraft are included the B-24J, ‘Satan’s Gal’, B-24D, ‘Hellsadroppin II’, B-24G, ‘The Stork’, B-24D, ‘Strawberry Bitch’, B-24J, ‘Cocktail Hour’. These depict the many liveries the B-24 bore, from bare-metal (reflective), to desert and olive drab (with nose art). For many the B-24D with its distinctive glass nose will be of special interest.
These textures are beautifully weathered and complete with the distinctive wing stains of oil venting engines. All are beautifully rendered at 2048-pixel resolution for maximum clarity, whist the inclusion of template textures allow other liveries to be painted to suit.
Externally the aircraft is virtually unique. Not only does it feature animations for bomb bay doors, gunners and pilots, cowl flaps, prop pitch, and sliding cockpit windows but also the fascinating extendable ventral ball turret.
A great joy of this aircraft is the sheer size and warbird context. Few large modern ’streamliners’ can offer such wealth of texture and model detail. This is a full FSX model with all FSX features (bump mapping, self-shadowing, bloom etc) and includes self shadowing in the virtual cockpit.
