Comprar FSX Steam Edition: Northrop F-89 Scorpion Add-On PC Key

Fly the historic F-89 Scorpion, a Cold War night fighter born from a 1945 USAAF specification. This FSX Steam Edition simulation delivers three variations-the D with 104 missiles, and the J with Genie nuclear-tipped and Falcon air-to-air missiles-each boasting unique flight models, engine setups, weights, and fuel configurations that mirror real performance differences. Pilots manage fuel and navigate via instruments, including a custom Scorpion Flight Computer gauge drawn from the actual flight manual. Authentic virtual cockpits feature animations, mousable controls, and glass reflections, paired with a detailed 2D panel, pop-up autopilot, and radios. Effects capture afterburner flames in three stages, startup smoke, contrails, and wing vapor flash, while sounds and visuals like decelerons, landing lights, and canopy animations enhance realism. Aviation simulation enthusiasts who prize precise checklists and manual-based procedures will find this add-on a faithful recreation.

The classic Cold War design of the F-89 Scorpion was the product of a 1945 USAAF specification for a night fighter. The aircraft was to have a crew of two with an offensive armament of six 20mm cannon. The prototype was first flown on August 16, 1948 by test pilot Fred C. Bretcher. The first major production model was the F-89D, which swapped the cannon for a phalanx of 104 missiles. The final version was the F-89J, which carried two Genie nuclear-tipped missiles along with four Falcon air-to-air missiles tipped with high explosives.

Both the D and J versions used highly advanced Hughes fire control systems coupled with radar and computers. Although the Scorpion appears quaint and dated now, these were highly advanced aircraft for their time.

The FSX: Steam Edition version of the F-89 Scorpion, developed by Virtavia, is an accurate representation of this Cold War bird. This pack includes three variations, each with its own unique flight model. The F-89 also includes a realistic soundset, various animations complete with afterburner effects, and a complete fuel management and instrument navigation package.
