A 22-page illustrated user manual explains things in easy terms and a pilot's checklist makes getting airborne simple.Ĭheck out the new cockpit screenshots on the Stirling page. All three wartime variants of the bomber are included (see below) and extensive testing was done in VR to ensure a bug-free virtual Stirling experience. Recordings of actual Bristol Hercules engines were used in the sounds package, their deep bass drone will have you turning up the volume for sure. These are not droppable as yet, but once the tech is better understood (XP12 ?), this feature can be added. The bomb bays (both fuselage and wings) contain a mixed, togglable bomb load. Great attention to detail has been lavished throughout, PBR textures, all six cockpit windows can be opened, a crew access ladder, the glistening wing oil streaks seen on all well-used Stirlings, and of course 'that' undercarriage - yes, the enormous landing gear is faithfully represented and moves just like it should. Virtavia has made sure that the Stirling experience in X-Plane is authentic but still not beyond the ability of a flightsim novice to enjoy. Overshadowed in the eyes of the general public by the much better-known Lancaster, and perhaps also the Halifax, the Stirling was nevertheless a stalwart of RAF Bomber Command during the early years of World War Two. Now, twenty years later, Virtavia presents another flightsim Stirling - an all-new state-of-the-art simulation for X-Plane 11.
