   – WE.177 nuclear bomb
   – Saddle bomb bay tanks
   – Cylindrical bomb bay tanks
   – Shrike anti-radar missiles
• Ability to configure external model options for each livery – refuelling probe, 201/301 engines, TFR dome, modern aerials and tail fin ECM, HDU, air sampling pods and aerials
• Olympus 201 and 301 engine nozzle types
• Ground equipment, including Houchin GPU and Palouste compressor for engine start (with custom ground equipment paint schemes for each livery/squadron) and engine covers and chocks
• 8k textures are used to produce the highest possible texture clarity
• Full support for MSFS visual icing effects

 
 Cockpit

• A truly 3D virtual cockpit right down to accurately modelled ejection seats and screw heads – every instrument is constructed fully in 3D with smooth animations
• A selection of rear crew panels that are essential to operating the aircraft are modelled – AEO panels for controlling the AAPP, RAT and secondary supplies, and Navigator panels for controlling the TACAN and IFF/transponder
• Cockpit textures feature wear and tear based on reference photos taken in the real aircraft to produce an authentic environment
• Aircraft state system which will automatically save the aircraft state whenever a flight is saved and reload it whenever that flight is loaded
• Aircraft configuration system which allows you to choose between ‘Cold & Dark’, ‘Ready for Taxi’ or ‘Ready for Take-off’
• Many features have been added to help with usability such as the ability to hide the control sticks for a better view of the instruments and pre-set angled views for the autopilot and rear crew panels
• Tablet EFB for controlling various aircraft states, options and payloads, with Navigraph and SimBrief integration and a moving map
• Developed using the latest MSFS standards, including intuitive and easy-to-use controls for rotary knobs, multi-position switches and levers
• Fully compatible with MSFS VR mode
• Realistic V/UHF radio unit – save and recall commonly used frequencies
• Fully functioning magnetic indicators, warning lights and push-to-test buttons
• Numerous animated blinds and visors
• Realistic flight instruments, including direction horizon, beam compass, control surface and CG indicators
• No detail is too small – even the option to switch between day and night modes on the landing gear indicator is included!

 
Aircraft systems

Custom-coded systems based on real-world manuals, including:

• Fuel system – fuel tank groups, transfer and cross-feed, air-to-air refuelling simulation via controls on the tablet EFB
• Custom-coded electrical system – alternators, Airborne Auxiliary Power Plant (AAPP), Ram Air Turbine (RAT), synchroniser busbar and AEO panels for controlling the AAPP, RAT and secondary supplies
• Flying controls system – Powered Flying Controls (PFCs), Mach trimmer and auto-stabilisers
• Engine start system – rapid or normal engine starting, cross-bleed and Palouste external air supplies
• Hydraulic system, including the electrically operated hydraulic power pack unit (EHPP)
• Oxygen system, including oxygen regulator system with realistic consumption based on altitude – watch the oxygen quantity drop with usage
• Air conditioning system – cabin pressurisation and air conditioning, emergency depressurisation controls
• Thermal anti-icing system, including airframe and engine anti-icing
• Autopilot, including pitch and bank hold
• TACAN and VOR navigation, including navigator IFF and TACAN panels
• Airbrakes, bomb doors and brake-chute can be operated using standard control assignments for ease of use
