VI’s excellent handling characteristics make it a pleasure to fly. A total of 2,140 were produced.Įquipped with more powerful Rolls-Royce Merlin 25 engines, the FB Mk. The DCS: Mosquito FB VI fighter-bomber you will be flying is the most impressive variant of this aircraft to see action in WWII. The Mossie’s ability to maintain a high cruising speed at high altitude made it very difficult for Luftwaffe fighters to intercept it. It was also known as ‘Freeman’s Folly’ after the Air Marshal who backed its production.Īrmed with four 7.7mm (.303in) Browning machine guns and four 20mm (.79in) Hispano Mk.II cannons, this superbly versatile fighter-bomber could carry both bomb and rocket payloads over long distances at high speed – and deliver them with pinpoint accuracy.

Some of the most interesting features available at the release date are: The MB-339 will be available in an almost complete state. The DCS: MB-339 aims to be the most realistic simulation of this aircraft ever made for PC, not only in terms of system functionalities but especially flight performances. The MB-339 is the only jet aircraft capable of performing the famous Lomcovák manoeuvre. Thanks to its superb flying qualities, the MB-339 in its aerobatic version (PAN) is also used by two great national aerobatic teams: the 'Frecce Tricolori' (Italian Air Force) and the 'Al Fursan' ('The Knights' – UAE Air Force).

Historical operators of this aircraft in its A version were the Italian Air Force, Malaysia, Nigeria, Peru, United Arabs Emirates, Argentina and Ghana.

The MB-339 was exported in several foreign countries in which some specimens are still operative. The aircraft entered service in the early 80's becoming the main training platform of the Italian Air Force. The files for these aircraft could not be found on the web anywhere so the alternative was to use aircraft listed for a later version.ĭiscussion of running in FG 0.98 is in the forum here.The MB-339 is a single engine, twin seat, Italian jet trainer and light ground support aircraft derived from the legendary MB-326 and designed during the Cold War. Landing gear works, however on all converted aircraft.Ī list of Flight Gear aircraft for version 1.0 and older can be found in the 'Wayback Machine' rgb usually fixes the issue, and the aircraft will fly withing Flight Gear, but may generate error messages on the console and some animations may not work. When installing aircraft from later versions it was found that they do not work with FG1, some do not work at all, some have their textures not showing (a pink material shading replaces the texture) and the instruments do not all show the textures. The earliest set of aircraft was listed as for version 1.9.1 available at this location: Earlier Versions of aircraft can be found at this location:įor reference version 1.9.1 was released in 2008, the same year as Flight Gear 1.0 Not all aircraft for Flight Gear work in Flight Gear 1.0.
