Regia Aeronautica, Savoia Marchetti SM81 "Pipistrello".zip 2024-05-29

The Savoia Marchetti (SIAI) SM81 was the armed bomber/transport version of the SM73 airliner. This SM81 package is partially derived from my previous S73_V20.zip, but a lot of parts were completely rebuilt. Flight dynamics, panel and gauges were designed after studying the original manuals of the aircraft and its related instruments and engines. This archive contains four variants, each with different engines and operating procedures: the Piaggio P.X/RC15, Alfa Romeo A.R.125/RC35, Alfa Romeo A.R.126/RC34 and Gnome et Rhone 14K Mistral Major. Seven liveries are included: Five Regia Aeronautica (Royal Italian Air Force) and two Spanish Nationalist Air Force. All standard animations are present and all MDLs also feature animated turrets, gondola and gun hatches. This "Pipistrello" package is completed of panel, gauges, sounds and virtual cockpit. It's optimised for FS9, but will work (perhaps with minor errors) in FSX (a bitmap file must to be replaced). Models by Stefano Meneghini, paints by Manuele Villa, flight dynamics and reference notes by FSAviator. See also "understanding the SM81.txt" for more details. By mvg3d, 2008-04-16 03:23:35
