Aeroplane Heaven Releases New Bristol Bulldog For FSX, P3D

Flight Simulation developer Aeroplane Heaven has released their new Bristol Bulldog Mk IIA for FSX, FSX SE and P3D.

As previously reported, the representation of the golden age RAF fighter, which trained many pilots who served in the Battle of Britain, is the result of careful research with “much attention to detail.” It is reportedly being created using the latest tech and techniques to be “the definitive tribute to this iconic and important aeroplane.”

Features are said to include the type’s special pressurized gas-starting system, a wing-mounted, wind-powered generator, cocking levers on the twin Vickers machine guns and opening ammunition boxes. In addition, the brake wires and levers on the wheels are animated and all wires and struts are touted as being correctly modeled and complete with scale turnbuckles.

For the first week of the release, the company is reportedly offering the Bulldog along with the Grumman F3F for no extra cost.
