The
Seafire
The
Seafire was a navalised version of the Supermarine
Spitfire.
In
late 1941, a Spifire Vb was fitted with
a temporary arrestor hook for landing trials
aboard an aircraft carrier. Initially more
difficult to operate than the Sea Hurricanes,
the Seafire concept was eventually improved
and refined to become an effective weapon
for the Royal Navy, especially in the Mediterranean
and Pacific theatres. Much skill was needed,
however, on landing with the narrow gate
undercarriage and comparatively weak landing
gear of the Spitifre design. Undercarriage
legs were very prone to collapsing on a
hard landings and keeping the Seafire straight
on deck was a constant challenge.
In this pack:
- 6 different paint schemes.
- Custom sound pack.
- Illustrated manual.
- Custom effect pack.
Notes:
After installation you will find the aircraft
under the Westland aircraft company ( LIII
) and the Cunliffe-Owen aircraft company
( MKIIC and LIII ) in the aircraft selection
window. Pushing the smoke system key ( default
assignment is ' I ' ) will fire up the exhaust
effects. You will also need to set the tailhook
extend/retract command in the key assignments
section of Flight simulator 2004/2002.
