    Additional aircraft information

    The pressures of supply and demand in a wartime environment can give birth to some extraordinary thinking. This was certainly the case with the design and development of the de Havilland Mosquito.

    At a time when the metal producing resources of Great Britain were stretched to their limits, the designers at the de Havilland Aircraft Company came up with the idea of building the majority of an airframe from multi-layered plywood skins. Using the resources of an under-utilised furniture industry, the components could be constructed relatively easily with raw materials in plentiful supply.

    So it was that the de Havilland Mosquito was designed around a cold-moulded plywood fuselage. The bulk of the construction, including the one-piece wings, employed the laminated ply and hardwood components – with metal only being used for the critical joints and engine mounts, brackets and screws.

    Another benefit of using balsa wood and Canadian birch laminated plywood in the construction was a significant reduction in the weight of the finished airframe. This weight reduction, in combination with the aircraft’s two mighty Rolls-Royce Merlin 25 engines, resulted in excellent performance. Because of its speed, the Mossie was used on countless covert operations. Notable actions include the raid on the prison at Amiens dubbed 'Operation Jericho' and the infamous raid on the Gestapo headquarters in Denmark in 1945.

    Even if you’re not a WW2 aviation nut like me you should still consider this interesting aircraft. They did an amazing job with developing the Mosquito and paid great attention to detail.  Every little thing is noticed and given much love. The crisp but well used cockpit, the weaponry, the wood detailing in the one unpainted livery etc. All is very vividly detailed.  The engines sound great too! So glad they paid attention to so many details, this is really something. All with zero loss of frames. Based on use with FSX SE win 10 3.3ghz i7 16GB RAM Intel UHD630 integrated GPU

    Given the high quality of recent JustFlight British classic warbird products, especially their Hawker Hunter, I expected this to be an excellent addon. But "excellent" almost isn't enough praise. It is astonishingly good. The realism and clarity of the VC has to be seen to be believed. The external model is just as good and flight characteristics seem right. It is sweet to handle and this fits with what I have read about the Mosquito - it was much loved by its crews. There are plenty of special effects for those who like that kind of thing - one thing that pretty much amazed me is that you can click on the WWII compass repeater and it instantly turns into a 60's era RMI. And as detailed as the VC is, the hit on FPS is negligible - in fact I saw no loss of performance at all on my system. The sounds are fantastic and really does immerse you in a cockpit with a Merlin engine on each side of you. About the only thing I don't like is that even with the gun-sight removed - a click of the mouse - the ASI is still partially hidden and difficult to read. But this is a minor thing and if you don't have your controls configured so you can adjust your viewpoint, just press shift-1 and a panel comes up that allows you to do so. The Mosquito was known as the "Wooden Wonder" in WWII and this product is also a "Wonder." I recommend it highly as probably the most authentic WWII aircraft available for FSX and FSX-SE (which is what I run)... Even if you're not a WWII fan or not into British classics, you should still consider this addon. It will give you an experience of flying the fastest operational twin-engine aircraft of WWII and one of the three fastest ever built. Cheers Ian
