Kup FSX Steam Edition: Dunkirk Spitfire Add-On PC Key

Fly the detailed Spitfire Mk1 variants from the Dunkirk era and Battle of Britain in this FSX Steam Edition simulation add-on. Pilots handle three high-definition models with authentic animations, including automatic goggles and oxygen masks at altitude, airframe shake during engine start, and hand-pumped or hydraulic landing gear. Cockpits feature realistic instrument panels, collimated gyro gunsight, hidden NAV/COM radios, and period details like TR9 equipment behind opening hatches. Authentic flight dynamics draw from factory data and pilot records, with unique effects such as prop stutter on startup, needle tremble at idle, and asymmetrical gear retraction. An illustrated cockpit guide provides flying notes for precise operation. Aviation enthusiasts who prize historical simulation accuracy will appreciate the rivet-level detail and operational fidelity.

This Dunkirk Spitfire add-on for FSX:SE provides models of the very early Mk1 with the two-bladed propeller, Mk1 version at the time of Dunkirk in 1940 and the Mk1A in the Battle of Britain era. The add-on is extremely high on detail, the models feature unique animations, goggles and oxygen mask appearing automatically on the pilot at a set altitude, TR9 radio and 'hidden' NAV/COM radios, airframe shake and gauge needle tremble during engine start and idle, authentic start-up and accurately simulated hand-pumped or hydraulic landing gear operation.

In this add-on you will also find examples of Mk1As which fought in the Battle of Britain and were piloted by some of that battle's Aces.
