DC Designs has released their PT-17 Stearman for Microsoft Flight Simulator. The PT-17 Stearman was formally used as a military training aircraft with over 10,600 built in the course of its life. Now, the aircraft is used as crop dusters, aerobatic displays and also for wing walkers during air shows. It’s a nimble and versatile aircraft that has really stood the test of time.
The aircraft is a “fully native” product for Microsoft Flight Simulator and has been coded with the latest technology. The flight dynamics are accurate and built using the modern type to ensure there won’t be issues with future flight simulator updates. The high definition modelling and texturing also ensure you get a crisp and clear view of the instruments as you fly the plane. Furthermore, the aircraft comes with high-quality sounds recorded from thereal-world aircraft and is also fully compliant with VR headsets.
Other features include crew models that are in the virtual cockpit, operational doors and a range of liveries that cover both vintage and modern designs. If you need help operating the plane, an operations manual has been included.
You can buy DC Design’s Stearman from Just Flight for £10.99.
