After nearly a year in development the RealAir Simulations Spitfire Mark XIV is now released – for use in FS2004.
The RealAir Spitfire is full to the brim of advanced features never before seen in Flight Simulator, whose limits have been squeezed as tight as current technology will allow in order to deliver a fantastic flying experience and totally immersive simulation.
The package comes in the form of three main Spitfire Mark XIV variants: standard, clipped wing and contra rotating propeller, with further variations in liveries and textures, including World War 2 configuration, civilian configuration and a fictional Reno Racer version with huge power.
RealAir have with the Spitfire redefined 3d virtual panels to the ultimate yet seen and have created a 3d cockpit which is virtually free of a single jagged edge. Every surface is beautifully curved and the panel is crystal clear with gauges that are smoother than almost all existing 2d panels, let alone other 3d panels.
The high resolution Spitfire exteriors are amazingly smooth with exquisite detail in form and function. Each livery has stunning high detail and the exact shape of the beautiful Spitfire lines has been faithfully captured.
The RealAir Spitfire’s flight model is probably the most advanced ever made for Flight Simulator, with many new innovations, including for the first time Stall Buffeting effects, a 3 stage wing vortex generator which is independent for each wing, overstress effects, and stunning flight fidelity with engine torque, realistic ground handling, engine failure mode and a new revised version of RealAir’s proprietary Pilot View system “RealView”.
