FSX: Steam Edition - Junker Ju87 Stuka Add-On PC

The Junkers Ju87 Stuka stands out as a two-seater dive bomber that first flew in 1935. Pilots and tail gunners flew it into combat starting with the 1936 Spanish Civil War under the Luftwaffe Condor Legion. Its distinctive wings, splayed undercarriage, and dive siren-known as the Horn of Jericho-mark it during steep attacks. This FSX: Steam Edition simulation on PC recreates the Stuka's dive brakes, cockpit floor window for aiming, and authentic siren. Five paint schemes cover desert and winter variants. Aviation enthusiasts who fly historical dive bombers will appreciate the precise handling at 80-90 degree pitches, accelerating from 240mph cruise to 400mph dives.

The Junker Ju87 ‘Stuka’ is a remarkable aircraft. The aircraft first took to the air in 1935 after being conceived as a two-seater dive bomber. Operated by a pilot and tail gunner, the aircraft quickly gained a fearsome reputation, making its combat debut in the Spanish Civil war of 1936 as part of the Luftwaffe ‘Condor Legion’.

The aircraft is easily recognisable, with its unique wing shape and splayed undercarriage. Yet the aircraft is probably more recognisable for its ‘wailing banshee’ siren as the aircraft dives into an attack. Referred to as the Horn of Jericho, this sound has become synonymous with the Stuka.

Another notable feature of the aircraft are the dive brakes –a unique under-wing braking system which slowed the aircraft in a dive. That being said, the aircraft would still accelerate from its cruise speed of 240mph to 400mph in the dive, pushing the limits of the aircraft design, with the pilot descending at near vertical 80 to 90 degree pitch angle!
