CF-105 Arrow for Flight Simulator X/2004 - PC

The Xtreme Prototypes CF-105 Arrow for Flight Simulator is a chance to experience first hand the sheer performance of a series of aircraft whose advanced systems and cockpit ergonomics were quite a challenge for the test pilots who flew them fifty years ago. Your CF-105 Arrow add-on will allow you to fly at high altitudes at twice the speed of sound, simulate the procedures required during test flights or reconnaissance and interception missions, and even test the anticipated performance of the mighty Orenda PS-13 "Iroquois" engine that was being installed in the Arrow Mark 2 (RL-206) at the time the Arrow program was cancelled. The Avro Arrow remains the stuff legends are made of many years after all prototypes were ordered destroyed just before the aircraft could fulfill its intended role as a new type of high-altitude interceptor against long-range enemy bombers during the Cold War. The Arrow was a revolutionary aircraft and certainly one of the most advanced of its time. It used computer control and "fly by wire" technology and was capable of flying over Mach 2.0. This add-on aircraft package for Microsoft Flight Simulator contains five variations of the Avro CF-105 Arrow Mark 1

• Two fully functional and highly detailed 3D virtual cockpits with over 900 parts and nearly 200 animated gauges, switches, levers, light indicators and flight instruments with "tool tips"
• Special visual effects including afterburner flames, engine smoke, wing vortices and aircraft lights. Fully animated engine turbine and compressor disks, engine nozzles (petals) Arrow custom sound sets for FSX and FS2004
• All aircraft feature a dozen special visual effects such afterburner flames, engine smoke, wing vortices and aircraft lights.
• The Arrow was a two-seat, twin-engine aircraft. It featured a delta wing design that had the advantage of allowing for the wing's leading edge to remain behind the shock wave created by the aircraft's nose when flying at supersonic speeds.
• The Arrow Mach 1 was capable of reaching Mach 2 with the Pratt & Whitney J75 turbojet engines. The aircraft was expected to break all speed records when the more powerful Orenda PS-13 Iroquois engines were installed.
