FS2004 / FSX (SP2/Acceleration compatible) SNECMA C-450 Coléoptère, complete package, with all parts animated; wheels, ailerons, rudder, steering, etc, animations, tailored panel and a full virtual cockpit. By Patrice Grange, February 2009. The SNECMA C-450 Coléoptère was tail-sitter VTOL aircraft (Vertical Take Off and Landing) developed by the French Engine Manufacturer SNECMA in the 1950s. Using the concept of the annular wing, it made its first flight on May 5th, 1959. Unfortunately, the test flights were stopped after an accident on 25 July 1959, even if the pilot was able to eject and to survive. The model has all parts animated; wheels, ailerons, rudder, steering, etc.. and animations, an original tailored 2D panel (an original bitmap by me) and a full animated Virtual Cockpit. AS THE FLIGHT MODEL IS PARTICULARLY UNUSUAL (TAILSITTER FOR VERTICAL TAKE OFF AND LANDING, THEN A 90° ROTATION TO REACH THE CRUISE FLIGHT POSITION), PLEASE READ CAREFULLY THE INSTRUCTIONS (DETAILED PDF INCLUDED), USING THE FLAPS AND GEAR CONTROLS A VERY SPECIAL WAY !!
