XPLANE 11 WARE AIRCRAFT SIMULATOR

No cowlexhaust ring covers, shorter-type exhausts on outer engines. The engines have smaller type intakes, no lower oil cooler intakes. Main features : FN.5 front turret, FN.7 mid-upper turret, FN.4 tail turret. The Mk.1 had the XI version and the Mks.3/4 had the XVI version. It was powered by a Bristol Hercules 14-cylinder, two-row, supercharged, air-cooled radial engine, at 1,356 hp (1,012 kW) at 2,750 rpm at 4,000 ft (1,220 m). There are three versions supplied of the Virtavia Sterling, which are the Mk.1 (W7451), The Mk.3 (EF411) and the Mk.4 (LK117) and all are based on real aircraft.

Oddly here is the Short Stirling by Virtavia, and it is not currently known if it is FlightSim conversion by Virtavia directly or again a third-party conversion of the aircraft (the email address is for Virtavia), more interesting was why either party don't fix up the older aircraft to at least a usable current usability in X-Plane, in that is a strange orthodox, and would be in either party interests in if they are in continuing supporting the X-Plane Simulator if they are still in wanting releasing newer product?

Most Virtavia aircraft are a cross platform conversion from their FlightSim counterparts, but since Dawson Designs has now departed the developer scene from many a few years back, a lot of the original Virtavia aircraft like the B29 Bomber, S-61 Seaking and the GlobeMaster C-17A are now mostly seriously dated or compromised in their access in the X-Plane Simulator. Virtavia are known in X-Plane with the association with Dawson Designs. In it's relegated roles it was converted into a troop/parachute carrier of which it was highly successful, and in it's glider towing capability the Stirling also had a significant role in the D-Day Landings, sadly no Short Stirlings have survived to the current day. So as originally designed, the S.29 was considered to be capable of favourable high-altitude performance.īut in the RAF's short sighted guidelines in that the wings must be shorter than 100ft (to fit in the current hangar size of 112 ft (34 m)) it restricted the Stirling's range and even worse ruined it's altitude capabilities. The S.29 design was a derivative design of the Sunderland Flying boat, the wings and controls were the same, the construction was also identical and it even retained the slight upward bend at the rear of the fuselage, which had originally been intended to keep the Sunderland's tail clear of sea spray. Short Brothers or 'Shorts' are a Northern Ireland based company known famously for their 'Empire' Flying boats in the 1930's, that were also a good basis for a tactical bomber.

It was originally the RAF's primary bomber, but with a few short falls in the design it then relegated the aircraft into a secondary role behind the Avro Lancaster and the Handley Page Halifax. The Short Stirling is a World War 2 era four-engined bomber that entered RAF service on the eve of WW2. Classic Aircraft Review : Short Stirling Mk1-4 by Virtavia
