FS2004/FSX Martin B-57B Package

FS2004/FSX Martin B-57B Package. The Martin B-57B was a much-modified version of the original Canberra. The first example flew on June 18, 1954, and featured a drastically-changed crew arrangement and canopy along with a host of other updates. The pilot and navigator sat in tandem, a flat forward windscreen was fitted to make a gunsight installation possible, and speedbrakes were installed in the waist position. Forward-firing guns – machine guns or cannon – were also installed. The B-57B also featured an unusual, rotating-drum type of bomb door that also served as the mounting point for the bombs. This invention saved a great deal of time rearming and also increased the bombing accuracy of the aircraft. The B-57B was in active service with the USAF until 1968, and served on occasion alongside the Canberra B.2. This is the ex payware Alpha Simulations FS9 Canberra B57B released as freeware. Slight mods to make it compatible with both FSX and FS2004 by Chris Evans. Thank you to Alpha Simulations for being big minded enough to release their older models as freeware.
