Mitsubishi F-2A

Daisuke Yamamoto and the FS-KBT team have made a few excellent aircraft - their F-18 being a favourite amongst military speed fans. This japanese version of the F-16 is beats almost any FS aircraft model. It’s modelled very well outside but the inside is quite something. The CRT style gauges are very clear and detailed and everything is modelled and textured well, but feeling the g-force with the built in head latency and seeing your virtual hands and feet moving about tops it all off. You can download beta 2 at the FS-KBT website or check out my gallery of images.
