BAe 146-200/300 Jetliner for FSX

The hard work of the Just Flight team can be seen in almost every aspect of these aircraft. From the highly detailed models painted in higher detailed textures that show every panel and rivet, with no imperfections and without compromising your frame rates. Intelligent specular, bump and night mapping ensure that the models look amazing in all conditions, with great reflections, realistic shines and rolling shadows. With a total of 21 included liveries ranging from China Eastern, Air Brazil and Eurowings, Just Flight have provided more than enough variety; it's a safe bet that there is something here for everyone.

A detailed flight deck can be seen from the exterior but it doesn't compare to how it is on the inside. Custom instruments are housed in a massive main panel and an overhead panel. Mouse click-able operations let you do most things manually, adding some more points to the successful immersion column. Accurate controls are one thing, but it's knowing that everything you're doing is having an effect that does it for a lot of pilots. But with the amount of 'under the hood' stuff going on this package, most notably the simulated systems, ranging from electrical and hydraulic systems to air conditioning and simulated cabin pressure, it feels like everything is working in synergy.

Flight dynamics have been meticulously crafted based on detailed documentation, and flight-tested based on FAA simulation requirements. Improvements to performance and a few tweaks here and there were made through additional pilot information and performance charts. A lot of effort has gone into making sure that these models mimic the real life performance and behavior of their real world counterparts, and with certainly enough sources and rigorous attention to detail, rest assured that they have captured the characteristics very well.

Even if it was just the one of the two, with the amount of life woven into these models it would be worth it. Instead you get two models, with so many features and elements coming together creating  two palpable aircraft that are both fun and challenging to fly.

Manufacturers Description

Short haul - high density! With its high T-tail, stubby undercarriage, drooping anhedral wing, four engines and highly distinctive butterfly-style air brakes, you can't mistake the 146-200/300 series of aircraft!

Expansion Packs Available

The 146-200 design was originally started by Hawker-Siddeley in the UK in 1973 and production started in 1983. Now Just Flight brings you the superb 146-200 and 146-300 models for FSX featuring a highly detailed external model, 21 authentic airline liveries from around the globe, an extremely accurate virtual cockpit (VC) and even a cabin view.

A custom sound set uses sounds recorded from the real aircraft to reproduce perfectly the distinctive sounds of those four quiet engines that allow the real aircraft into noise-sensitive airports around the world. With a great flight model and the powerful and unique speed brakes it's time to practise your short runway landings!
