DETAILED DESCRIPTION

Traffic Control Centre (TCC) lets you easily customise and expand your AI traffic.

Traffic Editor has improved flight planning and greatly enhanced traffic generation features to allow you to easily create new traffic, whether randomly generated traffic or detailed scheduled connections as in the real world. The Editor lets you set up one-way flights and compile flights by region.

Correct identifiers - all flights use their correct aircraft/airline identifiers and tail numbers according to the country of origin.

ChronoTraffic - AI time period selection feature. Every Traffic 360 AI aircraft and flight can now be set to be only operational during a user-defined period of years. In the traffic database you can easily select the year or range of years in which you want the aircraft to appear. This flexible feature means that you can easily see older aircraft such as Concorde or out-of-service airlines, or up-to-date traffic or even future aircraft chosen from the included Traffic 360 aircraft fleets.

Flyable aircraft tool – allows you to make the Traffic 360 AI aircraft flyable (generic cockpits and flight models employed).

Driveable Follow Me car and pushback truck - you can explore the airport from the ground.

Spotty, the plane spotting feature, and the unique Control Tower view let you watch aircraft as they are land, taxi, park and depart as well as listen to their ATC communications.

Control Tower comes in four different sizes from 'Airfield' to 'Large International Airport' and can be placed anywhere in the world. A 2D panel and a complete Tower interior provide everything you need to observe all AI traffic in your area:
  • Traffic Radar provides information on each AI aircraft in range, including vertical speed and current altitude, bearing and distance, identification and true airspeed
  • Multifunction display with geographical information, clock showing UTC and local time, weather display including wind speed and direction, pressure readings for QNH and QFE as well as temperature, a COMMS panel, controls to move the view with a simple mouse-click, heading indicators and a light switch for night lighting
Custom sounds to replace the generic FSX default sounds - a total of 29 different sound sets, recorded from real aircraft, provide more variety and more realism thanks to special take-off, landing, thrust reverser sounds and many more. Hear the typical take-off sound of an Airbus 321 or the noisy thrust reversers of a landing Tornado – Traffic 360 is an immersive experience for all the senses!

Just Flight - Pacific Combat Pilot | The FlightSim Store: Boxed Software - FSX Add-Ons - Aircraft - Historic

Pacific Combat Pilot brings together the two legendary carrier-based fighters of WWII’s Pacific Theater in one superbly detailed package of 21 aircraft. Also included are the MkI and MkIV variants of the Martlet – the British version of the Wildcat – in eight different liveries!

From the fully functional virtual cockpits and accurate flight characteristics to carrier operations and animations, the F4F-3 and F4F-4 Wildcats and the Mitsubishi A6M2-21 Zero are expertly modelled. Clear the decks and get ready to experience the power of both these iconic warbirds in FSX!

WILDCAT

No US aircraft other than the Wildcat fought throughout WWII, all the way from 1940 to VJ Day in 1945; the Wildcat was there when the US Navy and Marines entered the Pacific theatre and when the atomic bomb was dropped to put an end to hostilities.

The Wildcat could well be considered the US Navy’s 'Spitfire', performing heroically against considerable odds in often difficult conditions in the defining battles of the Coral Sea and Midway and later in the dark days of the early Pacific islands campaigns at infamous locations such as Guadalcanal and Rabaul.

It is a testament to the success of this rugged little fighter that the design remained basically unchanged until the end of the war, and the last Wildcat to roll off the General Motors production lines in 1945.

MARTLET

The Martlet was the name given by the British forces to the F4F-3 and F4F-4-based Wildcat aircraft which were supplied to Britain from the earliest days of WWII - eight Martlet aircraft are included in this package as bonus content!

In 1940, two years before the US entered the fray, a Royal Navy Martlet pilot scored the first aerial victory by an F4F in WWII, off the Orkneys in Scotland. The British ordered the F4F-3 for its Royal Navy as did France before the country fell in the early years of the War. In fact the F3s initially bound for France were diverted when the country was overrun and were eventually delivered to the Royal Navy.

Apart from service in the North Atlantic, British Martlets also saw combat in warmer climes such as Malta and North Africa and, of course, alongside their American counterparts throughout the Pacific.

Grumman Martlet MkI

The British Martlet MkI was basically identical to the US F4F-3, other than that it was equipped with a Wright Cyclone 9-cylinder engine and a Hamilton constant speed propeller. This required a slightly shorter cowling over the power plant and the aircraft had no cowl flaps. An extra strengthening bar was fitted to the windscreen quarterlights. The Martlet performed much like the F4F-3 from which it was derived.

Grumman Martlet Mk IV

The Martlet MkIV was largely identical to the US F4F-4, other than that it was equipped with a Wright Cyclone 9-cylinder engine and a Hamilton constant speed three-blade propeller. Two long cowl flaps were installed in the upper half of the engine cowling. Performance figures and specifications can be considered either identical or very close to those of the F4F-4.

ZERO

The A6M2-21 model is the Zero model one produced in the greatest numbers; over 1,500 aircraft had been built by the end of World War II. The A6M2-21 took part in the surprise attacks on Pearl Harbor as a support fighter to the bombers and was involved in many of the later campaigns in the Pacific theatre before being replaced by later variants. The design had cut its combat teeth in China before the outbreak of the war in the Pacific.

The A6M2-21 had small folding wing tips for carrier use and could carry a drop-tank or a bomb for ground attack duty.

In the early stages of the war in the Pacific, the Zero outmanoeuvred the majority of allied fighters, including the venerable Spitfire, until new combat tactics were introduced. Engaging a Zero in a twisting turning dogfight meant certain failure; the trick was to gain the height advantage and dive on the enemy at high speed in a firing pass.

Opponents such as the Grumman F-4F Wildcat were built to be rugged absorbers of punishment and protected their pilots with armour plating. US pilots got the upper hand in due course and the Zero would never again have the upper hand.
