The Lancer will now feel like a true part of your FSX experience as you start to use it regularly
-
The experience is improved and made to feel even more realistic thanks to the addition of the brilliant virtual cockpit. This looks excellent and does everything that it can to capture the right form of animations for each response from the cockpit, alongside providing as many mousable controls as possible
-
Various customized interior and exterior animations are added in, with automatic wing sweeps being included on load-up to ensure that the whole thing can come together and make things feel as comfortable as possible for you. Indeed, the whole thing comes together in the most enjoyable fashion possible, capturing features accurately
-
The opening bomb bays work perfectly well, giving you the right kind of feeling for just what level of power the Lancer was cutting around with. Indeed, you can even include various loadouts that have been included over various generations, letting you see the true scale of power of the Lancer
-
Indeed, it comes with an animated afterburner came that has a very realistic flame effect to it. This looks outstanding and also adds a nice, much needed, layer of realism to the whole thing whilst capturing the detail and the design needed to really make it feel genuinely authentic
-
Fully DX-10 compatible so if you are using a more modern machine you should have no problem getting this to work even in DX-10 Preview! This also comes with awesome self-shadowing features that really do capture the fearsome levels of precision that you would have been expecting when using this
-
Night lighting textures and effects are included inside, with various individual gauges and panel lighting making it even easier to capture than ever before. Indeed, the whole system really manages to detail what you need to get the entire package to come together and look as modern and effective as it can

-
Customized afterburner sound effects are added in, giving you a true appreciation of the force and volume of the "rumble" that comes from the cockpit of an aircraft like this when you are flying around, doing everything that you can to really understand the depth and power of the noise
-
Engine failures and fire modelling features are added in, making sure that you are more likely to come across authentic problems when you are flying. This adds another nice layer of realism to the whole thing, giving you a unique and interesting range of sounds and effects brought to life

-
This is alongside the various simulated cockpit systems that burst into life, including the VSD, to give you an unprecedented level of simulation when you are inside the cockpit itself. This really does bring the whole thing to life in the most dramatic fashion that it possibly can moving forward
-
No 2D panels are included as this makes the most of some rather awesome 3D panels that are offered instead, giving you all the help needed to really fit the whole thing together and notice the depth and effect needed as the 3D panels included instead bring everything to life
