About This Content Designed by air racer Steven Wittman, the Tailwind is an amateur-built two-seat aircraft first built in the 1950s. Combining relatively low build costs with exciting 200-mph performance, the Tailwind proved a success and more than 350 examples have been built. Different versions of the basic design offer different engine specs and performance, as well as either tail-dragger or tricycle-type undercarriages. The Wittman Tailwind for FSX: Steam Edition, developed by Lionheart Creations, includes both the W8 (tail-dragger) and W10 (tail-dragger and tri-gear) series model variants. The two W series aircraft both fly slightly differently, with the W-10 having a higher-performance engine than the W-8. The W-10 will cruise at 180 MPH and will max out at 200 MPH, whereas the W-8 cruises at 140 to 160 MPH and maxes out at 180 MPH. Instrument panels also differ between the two models.Features:Custom high detail instrumentationNew Avionics featuring an MX12 NAV-COM, transponder, and autopilot in the W-10Full night lighting with soft glow gauge instrumentation for night flights 'without' the dome light needing to be switched onEight different paint schemes with several versions of interiorsOne aircraft called 'Retro' features an early 1960's paint scheme and wood panel interior Fully animated control surfaces and various controls Front diagonal cross brace bars in front of pilot are hide-able with a switch for ease of flying in VC modeFeatures high detail 2D panels by Bill LeamingOptional Wide Screen Panels can be linked to Registry blocks in the aircraft config file for wide screen usersIce box in rear cargo shelf opens and features animated bottled water and sandwichCustom sounds throughout the aircraftHide-able top sun cover for the W-8, which features a fully transparent roofHide-able front instrument panel cover made of an old air chart mapBasic cargo displays outside of plane when engine stops runningCustom sound packageCustom flight model (aircraft config files) that feature a unique feel for the aircraftChecklist in popup view, does not use Kneeboard Optional Wide Screen 2D panels for users with wide screen monitorsCustom exterior 3D high realism lighting effects 7aa9394dea Title: FSX: Steam Edition - Wittman Tailwind Add-OnGenre: SimulationDeveloper:Lionheart CreationsPublisher:Dovetail Games - FlightRelease Date: 5 Apr, 2016 FSX: Steam Edition - Wittman Tailwind Add-On Crack Activation This marvellous little thing gets a very clear recommendation from me. Anything I ever bought from Lionheart was pure gold, and the Wittman is no exception to that. It looks wonderful both inside and out, it flies wonderfully, and it comes with a ton of liveries and variants. The Tailwind may look like a rugged old vintage plane, but make no mistake: This thing has quite some power under the hood. And I say this without having tested the even more powerful W10 yet. I was expecting something that handled like a delivery van, and I couldn't have been more wrong. The plane is equipped with flaps (not a standard for light aircraft of its era) and a capable autopilot, which looks like it was added later to the plane.One thing I noticed, but that may actually a glitch on my part (using DX10): When the landing lights are on, there's a square-shaped corona-like graphics fault around them. The large glass areas all around the pilot, especially the glass roof, make this plane a real joy to fly and look at with DX10Fixer installed and dynamic shadows in the VC.One other way the Wittman scored many points for me is the VC (of which there are different versions). It's made with a lot of love for details, and it is just full with small gimmicks, some of which do things when they are clicked. I won't tell you what though, I don't want to spoil anything.. One of the best add-on planes available, its in the middle of the price range, you get tail dragger and tri gear and two different engines, W8 only available as tail dragger. Both models have autopilot for longer hauls, very capable little plane, gets kicked around by the wind cause its so light, but thats the fun, very user friendly, good trainer..

Good Aircraft! It does have a diadvantge of not being able to see where you are during taxing! Aside from that it's a good little aircraft!!! (You can also grab a beer and a sandwick from the back of the plane!!) All of the instruments work too! It is a very good plane and I highly reccomend it!!!!. She's an old girl but she sure does have a great feel to her. Being a sporty type aircraft fitted for both Civilian and Sport, it does have a wide range of features and has a great amount of detail, another masterpiece by Lion heart and would highly recommend!.
