This is an expansion pack for Wings Of Power 3: Spitfire.
• Introducing a true propeller simulation
• Feel the exhilaration of flying an Accu-Sim-powered Supermarine Spitfire.
• Rolls Royce Merlin V-12 liquid cooled Mk III and higher output Mk XII engine built to manufacturer's specifications.
• Install a Weybridge two-bladed fixed-pitch wooden, De Havilland three-bladed two-speed variable, or Rotol constant speed propeller in the maintenance hangar. •
Both electric and explosive cartridge starters modeled.
• Immersive in-cockpit, physics-driven sound environment from A2A engineered Spitfire recordings.
• Complete maintenance hangar including landing gear, internal systems and detailed engine tests including compression checks.
• Understand how a high-performance aircraft behaves and see how well you can cope with all of the unexpected things that can happen. No two flights are ever the same.
• Piston combustion engine modeling. Air comes in, it mixes with fuel and ignites, parts move, heat up, and all work in harmony to produce the wonderful sound of a V-12, liquid-cooled racing engine. Now the gauges look beneath the skin of your aircraft and show you what Accu-Sim is all about.
• Airflow, density and it's temperature not only affect the way your aircraft flies, but how the internal systems operate.
• Real-world conditions affect system conditions, including engine temperatures. Manage temperatures with a radiator flap and proper flying techniques.
• Spark plugs can clog and eventually foul if the engine is allowed to idle too low for too long. Throttling up an engine with oil-soaked spark plugs can help clear them out and smoke.
• Overheating can cause scoring of cylinder head walls which could ultimately lead to failure if warnings are ignored and overly abused.
• The Spitfire has a small radiator and must get airborne in under ten minutes or it will overheat. Once airborne, it owns the sky.
• Engine, airframe, cockpit panel and individual gauges tremble from the power of a high-performance combustion engine.
• Authentic component drag. Dropping your gear will pull your aircraft realistically as the landing gear is deployed along with cooling flaps, or even opening the canopy. Drop your gear, deploy your flaps, or just try a dive, and listen to your airframe.
• System failures, including flaps that can independently break based on the actual forces put upon them. If you deploy your flaps at too high a speed, you could find yourself in a very dangerous situation.
• Total audible cockpit made with recordings from the actual aircraft. Before you fly, enjoy clicking everything.
• Primer system modeled. Accu-Sim monitors the amount of fuel injected and it's effectiveness to start the engine. Cold mornings require as many as 12 strokes and warm starts may only need a single shot.
• Authentic battery. The battery capacity is based on temperature. The major draw comes from engine starting.
• Oil pressure system is affected by oil viscosity (oil thickness). Oil viscosity is affected by oil temp and oil dilution level. Now when you start the engine, you need to be careful and not raise RPM too much until oil temp is high enough to give proper oil pressure. If you raise RPM too high on a cold engine, especially very cold, oil pressure can raise to over 150 psi. Oil pump failure can result. Extended inverted flight (negative g) can uncover the oil sump and reduce oil pressure. Do not fly in a negative g situation for more than 5 seconds.
• Oxygen starvation (hypoxia) is modeled. Just take off and climb without oxygen to see.
