Developer Aeroplane Heaven has released the Bristol Bulldog MKIIA for P3D and FSX.
The venerable bi-wing airplane prototype first flew on May 17th, 1927 and by 1929, after some improvements, the MKIIA was taking off.
Used by many RAF squadrons as an acrobatic plane, the mixed fabric and alloy construction proved relatively easy to fly.
With true-to-life flight dynamics, Aeroplane Heaven promises the Bulldog is perfect for scenic excursions or flying your favourite acrobatic routines. Although the plane pre-dates any sophisticated navigation equipment, included in this model are navigation radios and an RMI (hidden until a switch is pressed).
The plane can be purchased for $27.95 USD via the website.
