Aeroplane Heaven's highly detailed Lancaster simulation for FSX and P3D brings you the Lancaster B Mk.I in six liveries plus three bonus Mk.III liveries that can be applied to the exterior. The bomb room, pilot's cockpit, engineer’s station, navigator’s station and radio operator’s station are all fully modelled.

Features include historically accurate animated crew members, authentically rendered gun turrets, bombs which can be loaded, armed individually and 'dropped' realistically, special propeller animations for realistic engine starts and a unique Configuration panel.

Developed by the expert vintage aircraft team at Aeroplane Heaven, this simulation of the Lancaster B Mk.I is the definitive re-creation of WWII’s most famous bomber. Compatible with Flight Simulator X, FSX: Steam edition and Prepar3D v2-4, the accuracy and attention to detail will bring the desktop pilot as close as it is possible to get on a PC to the experience of flying this legendary aircraft.

The package includes six B Mk.I Lancasters, along with three ‘bonus’ Mk.III liveries that can be applied to the exterior.

Wow just wow! I had to have a Lancaster for my collection and they sure did put a ton of love into this! It’s easy to say quite simply in all areas they made a crazy beautiful plane here. One that flies like an old lumbering bird that has incredibly powerful engines. I only wish I could load the damn busters spherical bombs, or the 12000lbs Tirpitz killing darts. But I can live with the cookie and standard bomb load. If you like WW2 aircraft you can’t forget this legend. A must have for those of us still too invested in our FSX hobby to give up in favor of shiner and newer FS2020 that has hardly any good add ons yet.
