F4F-4 Wildcat
The F4F-4 Wildcat was a workhorse of the Pacific Theater, known for its rugged durability, reliability, and fierce combat performance. As the backbone of the U. S. Navy’s early war airpower, it held the line against superior enemy aircraft, proving its worth through sheer resilience and skillful tactics. With folding wings for carrier operations, a reinforced airframe, and upgraded armament, the Wildcat became a crucial asset in securing Allied victory.

F6F-5 Hellcat
The carrier deck quakes as a deep, guttural roar cuts through the noise and demands respect. The deafening thumping of 18-cylinders is instantly recognisable … the Zero Killer. Ace Maker.

The carrier deck quakes as a deep, guttural roar cuts through the noise and demands respect. The deafening thumping of 18-cylinders is instantly recognisable … the Zero Killer. Ace Maker.
The F6F Hellcat.
The logical successor & evolution to the F4F Wildcat, the Hellcat was the monstrous carrier-borne aircraft of the United States Navy in the Pacific Theatre of WWII. The Hellcat first appeared operationally in August 1943, proving its value immediately and taking part in some of the greatest air battles of the Pacific; from the Caroline Islands, to the Battle of the Philippines & many more. The aircraft was incredibly successful in battle, accounting for more than half of all airborne kills from the US Navy. The F6F claimed 5,156 total kills with an extraordinary kill ratio of 19:1, creating 307 Hellcat Pilot aces in the process.
The Hellcat is easily distinguished on the deck by its folding wings & the unmistakeable earth-shaking roar of the enormous 2000+ hp Pratt & Whitney R-2800-10W Double Wasp Radial engine. The engine is an air-cooled radial piston engine, with 18 cylinders, a 2-speed supercharger and water injection for additional power demands. This monstrous engine drives a 3-bladed Hamilton Standard Propeller with an enormous 4m diameter, capable of powering the aircraft up to speeds of 391mph (629km/h).
Capable of reaching 20,000ft in under 8 minutes, with a combat range of almost 1000 miles and a service ceiling topping 37,300ft, the Hellcat can get off the deck and into the fight quickly. Prepare yourself to experience the thrill of a catapult launch off the deck. Once you’re in the sky, the real challenge remains: the terror of landing back down on the deck safely. Put yourself to the ultimate test of bravery & skill and see if you can fly the Hellcat as successfully as the great pilots of WWII.
Featuring all-new ground handling physics developed in-house, custom thermodynamics modelling, cockpit shake effects, realistic water injection & automated flaps (a ground-breaking feature of the time), supercharger modelling and much, much more. The F6F Hellcat has been truly brought to life in MSFS!

MSFS2020 is a huge leap forward for flight simulator scenery but, the bridges are still awful, particularly over large rivers and where bridges are a dominant feature of a city. This package fixes that for the 3 Rivers at Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, USA.
Pittsburgh in the south western corner of Pennsylvania, USA, is known as the “City of Bridges”, the “Steel City”, and “The Gateway to the West”. It is a very scenic city at the confluence of the Allegheny River and the Monongahela River which forms the Ohio River running west to the Mississippi.
One of the photos shows the coverage area from Sewickley in the west on the Ohio River, to Aspinwall in the north east on the Allegheny River, and to Port Perry on the Monongahela in the east. 38 default bridges have been replaced with individually and accurately modeled bridges with night lighting to realistically represent the real world. All the road bridges have properly flowing traffic with no flying cars or river crawlers. Many of these are iconic steel bridges with unique designs and some are on the National Historic Register.
The package also improves the river traffic, barges, dams, and vegetation along the 3 rivers.
This package is for personal use with a single copy of MSFS2020/MSFS2024 and not for resale, redistributing or copying. It should not be used with any other package which includes bridges in the coverage area.
P-38L Lightning
Unmistakeable. Terrifying. Master of the skies: The fork-tailed devil.
With over 10,000 built between 1941-1944 (and nearly 4000 of these as the P-38L), the P-38 Lightning is an iconic American Warbird, easily distinguished by its unique twin-boom and central nacelle design. The ‘’Fork-tailed devil” inspired terror across Europe & the Pacific as not only a fighter, but a highly effective fighter-bomber, night fighter and long-range escort.

With over 10,000 built between 1941-1944 (and nearly 4000 of these as the P-38L), the P-38 Lightning is an iconic American Warbird, easily distinguished by its unique twin-boom and central nacelle design. The ‘’Fork-tailed devil” inspired terror across Europe & the Pacific as not only a fighter, but a highly effective fighter-bomber, night fighter and long-range escort.
The Lightning is capable of speeds up to 414 mph and an excellent rate of climb, powered by its powerful twin Allison V-1710 Engines. The Allison engines drive a 3-bladed Curtiss Electric Constant-speed propeller, counter-rotating to eliminate yaw tendencies, generating up to 1600 HP in each engine at a 2:1 gear reduction ratio. Dogfight performance is improved drastically with the addition of innovative technology for its time, such as the hydraulically powered Aileron Boosters, Manoeuvre flaps and Dive Flaps.
Our simulation aims to bring to life each facet of the incredible P-38; from the unique flight dynamics excellently captured by GotGravel (our newest FlyingIron Team Member), the muffled roar of the twin engines; from the finesse of managing the complex engine & cooling systems down to the minute details of the electrical system.
KEY FEATURES
