********** FS2004 / FSX (SP2 compatible) SNCAC NC 1071
********** Complete package with sound, full moving parts, animations, custom panel and full virtual cockpit.
********** by Patrice Grange, November 2008.
The NC 1071, the first French twin-turbojet, flew for the first time on 12 October 1948. Able to speeds upto Mach 0.7, the NC1071 was particularly noticeable with its weird design and its enormous underwing engine nacelles. After 3 years of test flights, and despite excellent performances, the project was unfortunately cancelled in 1951 ...
The model has full moving parts and animations (control surfaces, gear, flaps, opening door, pilot ladder, steering wheel, landing light, ...), an original custom 2D panel (an original bitmap by me) and a full animated VC.

- If you like French jet fighters of the Golden Age, please consider also my SNCASO Trident package (use version 3), my Leduc 022, my SNCASE Baroudeur (use version 3), my Nord Aviation Griffon II, my Mirage IIIE/IIIC, my Nord Aviation Gerfaut or my Mirage G8, all of them available on my personal site frenchprototypes.com, or on the great site simviation.com.
- All the moving parts (control surfaces, gear, opening door ...) work with the usual keys (you have to set one as "exit" or "door passenger" to open and close the door).
- The ladder for the pilot will deploy automatically when the cockpit door is open (but will only appear if the plane is on the ground!).
- In your virtual cockpit, you have the following animated parts : stick, pedals, gear lever, 3 gear lights, flap lever, flap light (when extended), parking brake lever and, of course, all the functional gauges.
