Brought to you by Vertigo Studios

£21 / $32 / €23

Built only for FSX SP1, SP2 and Acceleration (no planned version for FS9), the SBD Dauntless has a highly detailed virtual cockpit complete with 3d gauges and authentic textures, as well as switches to arm and drop the bomb.

With animations present and correct, including the crucial tail hook for those carrier landings. The authentic sound recordings also adds to the immersion as you open up the throttle and watch how the self shadowing, bump mapping and spectacular highlights bring any of the 6 carefully selected paint schemes to life.

I too have experienced the "Flaming" effects and smoke but also noticed that I
can trigger it off and on with the "L" Lights key. I opened the cowling and the
oil cooler and take off. Eventually the flames and smoke appear but I can dismiss
that effect by pressing the "L" key or make it appear. At least for me that has happened.

A mighty fine rendition this is! I had a bit of a smoke-out after landing at Troutdale last night, but as long as I'm pointing into the wind I can still see. :icon_lol:

mine was more a case of firewalling it :icon_lol:
 
the only critique i could make on this plane is that the sound seems about 800 to 1000 rpm slow at the top end of the throttle.. but heh.. i aint no expert
 
Great plane, I love it!! It's right up there next to my Kitty which is one of my top five favorites!!:ernae::applause:
 
I was a huge dauntless fan when I was a kid, I have a book laying around somewhere about naval bombers from WW2, showcasing the dauntless, helldiver, and avenger, I very well may have to pick this up.
 
One of the aircraft that single-handedly changed the war in the Pacific --- in just a few short minutes. History is often decided in minutes.

Very nice and like deimos I was also a Dauntless lover when I was a kid.....this will definitely be a future acquisition....(I'm rationing myself).
 
Hi Deano
is there any other way (than PayPal) to pay for your Dauntless ????
(I'm not in good terms with Paypal )
