Bell P-59 Airacomet.zip 2024-06-06

The Bell P-59 Airacomet was the first American jet. Though not a successful fighter, the P-59's career ran from 1943 until 1949, providing the U.S. Army, Air Force and Navy with experience at operating jets. This package features four models and a dozen authentic paints depicting the Airacomet's service history from the service test YP-59A to the operational P-59A and P-59B. Three fictional paints show liveries that Airacomets might have worn if they'd been more successful and saw more widespread service. Single-seat fighters with and without armament installed, a single-seat drone and a two-seat drone controller with an open cockpit in front of the pilot's windscreen for the drone pilot are included. This is an FS9 model, but it's been tried and found to work, though not perfectly, in FSX. The P-59 works as an AI aircraft as well as a flyable plane. By David Wooster and Mick Morrissey.
