Aeroplane Heaven: Hawker Hurricane MK1 erschienen

Ein neuer Warbird am P3D Himmel: Aeroplane Heaven haben die Hawker Hurricane MK1 released,
die ab sofort für FSX, P3D1 bis P3D4 verfügbar ist. Die Britin war ein wichtiges Asset im frühen 2. Weltkrieg und konnte trotz Performance-Problemen in großen Höhen viele deutsche Bomber abfangen. Heute ist die Hurricane nur noch ein Flugzeug fürs Museum und für Airshows. Eine detailierte Umsetzung liefert Aeroplane Heaven jetzt für den Sim – in zwei Versionen: Einer PBR-freien Version für alle Sims bis zum Prepar3D in der Version 4.3, und eine Version die ab Version 4.4 mit nutzbar ist. Das Flugzeug gibt es im Simmarket im All-Sim-Bundlepreis für 46 Euro, einzeln kostet das Addon jeweils 35 Euro.
