After many, many teasers going back to the start of the year, announced on their Facebook page, Just Flight has released their much anticipated Avro Vulcan B Mk. 2 and Avro Vulcan B Mk. 2 – K.2 & MRR Expansion Pack.
The Avro Vulcan B Mk. 2 is a tailless, four-engine, delta-wing strategic bomber which saw service in the UK during the Cold War with the Royal Air Force. Being well ahead of its time during its time, the Vulcan is an iconic aircraft for us to be able to fly in the sim.
Just Flight’s rendition of the Vulcan has been developed to an exceptional level of detail inside and out. Features include fully custom coded systems, 4K texturing, eleven included paint schemes, detailed animations and more which you can find in our shortened version of the features list at the end of this article.
Also released to accompany the Vulcan, the K.2 & MRR Expansion pack which brings along two new variants (introducing air to air refuelling) and new liveries.
You can grab a hold of the Just Flight Avro Vulcan B Mk. 2 on their own website for a price of €49.95 (Incl. VAT) and the Expansion pack comes at a price of €12.95 (Incl. VAT). The aircraft is compatible with FSX/SE and Prepar3D v1-4.
