Mi-24 'Hind-D' for FSX

Although it was released in 1972, the Hind today still stands up to the test and would be a formidable opponent for everything but the most modern of aircraft. It's powerful style and brutish nature in the skies has led to many other Hind D-brand aircraft being formed, offering the unique power and challenge many would have expected from such a monstrously powerful piece of art.

This recreation captures each detail with the most pinpoint accuracy and detail imaginable, giving FSX fans a chance to fly a true piece of artisan workmanship.
