The English Electric Lightning was designed in the late 1950's as an interceptor. This class of aircraft had to have great speed and even better climb speed to intercept the Russian bombers before they could reach their targets.
With the latest version comes a new model of the Lightning F2A, and the F53 model is also included. All F6 customers receive these models for free.
The F6 version in this product is not an easy aircraft to fly. It’s complex and full of systems you have to manage without the aid of modern electronics. Landing especially is hard as the landing speed is awfully high and there are many things you have to check. Aircraft of this type are rare for Flight Simulator and we feel the Lightning fills a niche that needed filling.

Wirklich toll umgesetztes Flugzeug. Auch die Flugeigenschaften und die Wahrnehmung der Geschwindigkeit und Manövrierfahigkeit zwischen Cockpit und Umwelt, mit der einige Hersteller so ihre Probleme haben, sind hier gut umgesetzt.Ein schönes Flugzeug, das trotz vieler Features auch vom Hobbypiloten geflogen werden kann.
My experience of this product is the exact opposite of the other reviewer. This is a superb product and has quickly become my favorite aircraft in FSX-SE. It is certainly a challenging aircraft to fly - just as it was in the real world! But once you realize that it's not the default C172 and you actually take the time to read the manual, it is an immersive and genuinely exciting experience. The systems modelling is deep and true to life, the handling is absolutely realistic, the FPS impact is zero and the "fun factor" is 100%... Other than the Milviz F4 and the Just Flight Canberra PR9, there is no military aircraft for FSX-SE that comes anywhere close to comparing with this product...
This is not as good as the Justflight Lightning, cockpit view feels more restricted, it is more finicky to get going and has some serious bugs, one of which will completely wipe your default Aircreation folder (ultralight trike). The other bug is that some models don;t have any engine sound. Cannot believe Aerosoft released such an unfinished product.
