Comet Jetliner for FSX

About The Comet Jetliner

If you want to experience an authentic and friendly flight experience that strips away a lot of the fodder and lets you do what you want to do in the first place - fly - then this is just what you need. The detail that comes into the design is the end-game of many hours of hard work and development using great lengths of footage and documentation to help create the perfect simulation of an old-school aircraft that carries an immense history. By using factory images of the original, a close replica has been created that lets you go back to basics and enjoy an amazing flight in a simple, old-school aircraft.

Every little feature has been accommodated to help make up for the shortfall in technology, givin you 3D stewardesses dealing with the aircraft as they walk around fully animated, smoke trails from the aircraft as it takes off and a variety of other small features to help bring everything together and create a truly aesthetically pleasing design that makes the flight even more enjoyable. Whether you have nostalgic memories of these famous aircrafts, or you just want to try and see what the difference is between today and 60 years ago in aviation performance, this is the place to get started.

Hundreds of small additions have been included like wheel chocks, intake muffs and pre-flight flags just to give you the full flight experience when you take off. Add in the huge amount of animations and minor details added in to the interior design, and you get the most complete representation of the Comet yet. It gives you all of the features that you would expect to see in a 50s plane, and while you won't see anything brand new added in you'll get a huge amount of personalized design.

The download comes complete with a series of high-definition liveries that take some of the most famous designs that the aircraft flew under. This lets you get the real feel and look, as well as the impressive functionality provided by a detailed and intricate design process that used real-life knowledge and research to come up with accurate performance specifications. Take to the skies and feel like you are flying a genuine equivalent of this prized aircraft, as everything performs just as it would have done in the real world.

You also get a huge 72-page PDF document that comes with all the simulation tips and assistance you need to operate the aircraft effectively. It helps you understand what older equipment does and how you can utilize the more limited controls in front of you to have a steady and enjoyable flight without any problems. It makes for a simple transition if you are used to more flash, modern aircrafts - when you come back down the scale, you can be too used to modern features like auto-pilot!

Instead, you will be given a genuine crash course in how to fly this simulated aircraft perfectly, so that you can see the marked differences between planes in the 1950s and the 2010s!

Basic Features

• A dedicated design that is made primarily for Microsoft Flight Simulator X, this is the perfect way to give you the full experience without having to do anything else. Every feature possible to be included has been done to make sure that when you take to the skies in a DC-10 you can truly enjoy the unique, accurate flight dynamics

• A hugely detailed exterior model that gives you the full picture of just how much aircraft has come in the 60 years preceding it's creation. The design stays true and faithful to the real thing, giving experts and enthusiasts the easiest way possible to actually enjoy their aircraft and to take to the skies in full confidence

• A hugely interactive and custom made virtual cockpit, making the long-term creation and development of high-end features easier than ever before. While the aircraft may not have the wealth of features that you use in modern planes, it has enough to give you a varied and busy cockpit that will leave you trying out many features for quite some time

• The main power of using an aircraft from this timeline is the accuracy that you can enjoy - and with high-resolution liveries included you can get an aircraft that feels just as it should. It's got the balance of an old-school aircraft and this can make it feel even more authentic and powerful than some modern aircraft, albeit at the expense of some balance!

• Animations have been created from scratch to make sure that the aircraft is coming to life in the way that it should. By making sure that every little feature is noticeable and that small additions and changes happen as the flight takes place makes sure that you feel like you are flying a genuine high-end aircraft rather than piloting a large 3D model!

• The accuracy of the project is hard to dispute - everything has been created using testimonials and advice from all across the globe with many different companies having used this aircraft. Therefore, diversity has allows us to create a genuine representation of one of the most famous aircraft that was made post-war

• Hugely realistic sound features included, giving you the finished experience - everything will sound as it would in the real world. Identical engine sounds have been sourced, and a blend of sound has been used to make sure that this sounds just as it would have done if they were still available today

Key Features

• Virtual cockpit has been reworked to feel like a 1950s aircraft - nothing here that should not be, and everything that is included is made to fit its own variant from all those years ago. This gives you an entirely different feeling to your traditional, modern aircraft that many of us are so used to within the flight simulation world. Take on a whole new flying style with a cockpit that is less automatic and relies far more on your input for flight success

• Hundreds of unique animations come from within the cockpit, making sure that you have an incredible amount of items to deal with as the flight takes place. The manual provided with the download will help you understand the massive differences between each button and find out what buttons have a legitimate use for you within the simulator, improving your own experience massively

• Accurate modeled center pedestal, ensuring that you have functioning controls on it like airbrake levers and reverse thrust throttles, giving you maximum control over the destination and future of the aircraft as you make your way to your destination

• Engineer's station has been built from scratch to give you access to every feature and button possible, allowing you to manage your engine and fuel to guarantee that flight is going to get from A to B without any problems - this is massively important for helping you manage the flight. Without automatic warnings and other inputs as you find in modern aircraft, you need to keep an eye on your fuel levels far more regularly!

• Overhead panels that are full of navigation aids and communication radios, allowing you to easily find out your position and make sure that you are able to go from your current destination to where you are supposed to land with the minimum of fuss. This is a far more charismatic way to fly than with modern aircraft, as it will test your own flight experience and qualities far more than your ability to remember where buttons are on the cockpit interface!

• Fully equipped navigation station gives you all the gauges that you need to have elite navigation options, for a plane from the '50s

Massively refined model that makes you feel like you are flying the real thing as every little detail and inclusion has been included. Nothing is missing from this design that is possible to include, and in return you get an incredible accurate take on one of the most iconic aircraft of it's day. Post-World War, this was one of the most advanced aircraft in the skies and paved the way for some of the wonders that we see today.

If you want to go back in time and see how aircraft worked before autopilots and unique navigation systems that pretty much do everything for you, then the Comet Jetliner is just what you need to get that authentic, old-school experience.
