Bristol T188
Bristol Type 188, the 'Flaming Pencil' was a British highspeed research aircraft. Designed to meet operational requirement ER. 134T for a testbed capable of speeds greater than Mach 2. Due to the anticipated effects of kinetic heating at high Mach numbers, the fuselage was constructed of stainless steel. Two aircraft were built, XF923 and XF926. First flight of XF923 was on 14th April 1962 and then XF926 with upgraded Gyron Junior engines on 29th April 1963. Ironically, the Maximum speed achieve... Bristol Type 188, the 'Flaming Pencil' was a British highspeed research aircraft. Designed to meet operational requirement ER. 134T for a testbed capable of speeds greater than Mach 2. Due to the anticipated effects of kinetic heating at high Mach numbers, the fuselage was constructed of stainless steel. Two aircraft were built, XF923 and XF926. First flight of XF923 was on 14th April 1962 and then XF926 with upgraded Gyron Junior engines on 29th April 1963. Ironically, the Maximum speed achieved was Mach 1. 88 at 36,000 ft. Although the top speed of the Type 188 was disappointing, the airframe advanced understanding and knowledge of structures, oils, electrics, hydraulic fluid, bearings, tires, windows and cabin environment at high temperatures as well as telemetry which was used during the development of Concorde. Last flight was 11th January 1964. One Bristol Type 188 remains at the RAF Museum, Cosford.

Bucker Bu-131 Jungmann On Sale
Nicknamed the Strativarius of antique light aircraft of the 1930s, the Bucker Bü-131 came to be in 1934 with its first flight occurring on April 27th of that year. The Jungmann (pronounced Young man) was designed by Karl Bücker. The first model of Jungmann, the Bü-131A, went into production and rapidly became an extremely popular aircraft of that time, with most of Europe wanting these to train their pilots. Not long after the release of the 80HP Bü-131A did the Bücker Flugzuegbau firm releas...

The Jungmann (pronounced Young man) was designed by Karl Bücker. The first model of Jungmann, the Bü-131A, went into production and rapidly became an extremely popular aircraft of that time, with most of Europe wanting these to train their pilots. Not long after the release of the 80HP Bü-131A did the Bücker Flugzuegbau firm released their second Edition version of the bi-plane, the Bü-131B model. The 131B had the updated new Hirth A-2 sporting 105 HP. This new version was then licensed out to many European countries including Spain, Japan, Romania, Hungary, Yugoslavia, and Switzerland. (Many years later, other countries would go into limited production runs of the popular design).
This version of the Bücker Bü-131B by Lionheart Creations is the Swiss model which 99 units were produced in Switzerland. This particular model shows you a modernized version of one that would be typically owned and modified to todays standards, which includes fitting of radios (COM1 and Transponder) and NAV lights for night flying. I have also hidden a bare-bones autopilot in the instrument panel that has basic AP features. A free-to-download owners manual of this plane is available to show you in more detail how everything works.

C-160 Transall
After its retirement from the French military service in 2022 and more than 1,000,000 flight hours combined, it is time for the Transall to live a second life in Flight Simulator!
It accomplished thousands of missions, flew above hundreds of countries and has been involved in numerous humanitarian missions. We just wanted to salute this Franco-German aviation emblem.

After its retirement from the French military service in 2022 and more than 1,000,000 flight hours combined, it is time for the Transall to live a second life in Flight Simulator!
It accomplished thousands of missions, flew above hundreds of countries and has been involved in numerous humanitarian missions. We just wanted to salute this Franco-German aviation emblem.
Developed in close collaboration with real pilots and true Transall experts, every detail of the aircraft has been carefully inspected to ensure the most accurate reproduction possible.
We have put a lot of effort to improve even more our quality standards compared to our previous products. The great complexity of the aircraft and its military-designed systems forced us to adapt our development processes accordingly. Hence, our Transall includes a big amount of bespoke systems and does not re-use existing generic avionics from the simulator.
This is a fully native MSFS 2024 version, featuring more functionality and a significant overall quality improvement.
Features
- Highly detailed 3D model based on 3D scan
- Fully modeled cockpit and cargo bay with authentic details
- Ultra high resolution textures
- 16 liveries including military and civil operators, with and without fuel probe
- High quality sound package enhanced by Echo19
- Custom AI (multiplayer) sounds
- Functional exits including cargo ramp, doors and windows, with dynamic sound variations
- Fully animated cockpit, including all switches, buttons, etc
- Interactive walk-around actions
- Sophisticated interior and exterior lighting with lots of settings available
- Cargo dropping (vehicles and paratroopers) with realistic physics and trajectories
- Custom effects including decoy flares, propeller vortices, propeller dust and fuel dumping
- Bespoke electronic flight instrument system with EADI and EHSI screens
- Custom flight management system (FMS) with flight plan management
- SimBrief integration for flight plan import
- Integrated GNS 430 and GTN 650 (TDS Sim & PMS50) units for GPS navigation
- Functional weather radar
- Head-up display (HUD) for pilot and copilot
- Electrical system reproduced with modular architecture
- Realistic hydraulic and pneumatic systems as per aircraft specifications
- Fuel system fully replicated with fuel transfer and fuel dumping
- Operational autopilot panel
- Cargo and payload management with several available objects (vehicles, pallets, etc)
- Custom EFB (Electronic Flight Bag) to manage numerous aircraft settings
- Interactive checklists
- Comprehensive flight manual (100+ pages) available on our website
Please note that our work is based on the C160 NG/R version which is the most modern one to have been operated in French Air Force. All liveries — including other armies — feature the same cockpit and cargo bay but external models have been adapted for each livery.
Please download the manual on our website to see all implemented features.
Special thanks to the "Musée Européen de l'Aviation de Chasse" in Montélimar, France, that provided access to a retired French C-160R.
