FSX Steam Edition: McDonnell F3H-2 Demon™ Add-On (DLC)

This add-on is for pilots who already fly FSX and want to try a carrier-era interceptor from the 1950s. The Demon is heavier and more demanding than most virtual jets of its time, so every takeoff makes you watch your thrust and keeps you alert on approach. The mood here is restrained and honest, with no flashy extras. Why grab it: - Your first flights quickly turn into practice on climb and engine handling with the Allison J71, and you feel the difference from the earlier versions of the aircraft right away. - The virtual cockpit is fully clickable, so you can run the whole start and flight cycle by hand without relying on the autopilot. - Four loadout options change how the jet flies: with AIM-7 and AIM-9 missiles it behaves quite differently than with drop tanks. - The automatic visual effect tied to throttle position adds life to takeoffs and afterburner runs.

The aircraft was conceived in 1949 as the XF3H-1™, with the first flight taking place in 1951. Unfortunately, the original power plant proved unsatisfactory, though despite this the F3H-1N™ set an unofficial time-to-climb record in 1955 of 10,000 feet in 71 seconds! In 1953, the Demon™ was refitted with the more powerful and reliable Allison J71 engine. This new engine substantially boosted the aircraft’s performance. In 1956, the F3H-2N Demon™ was approved as a front line fighter with the U.S. Navy. In service, the Demon performed well, although it was still somewhat underpowered. It was a sturdy, stable platform under all flying conditions. The last of 522 Demons were delivered in 1959 and were not retired until 1964. The FSX: Steam Edition of the McDonnell F3H-2 Demon, developed by Virtavia, is a faithfully replicated aircraft add-on with four different payload versions, various animations, and smoke trail effects.
