Bristol Beaufighter TF.MkX (Torbeau)

by Kazunori Ito

*******************************************************************************

This Beaufighter is an airframe of the TouBeau type and the painting example best seen in the magazine and the net.
Is there a door in the rear gear?
Where has the dive brake adhered?
It was not examined by me.
Therefore, the dive brake did not allow this airframe to equip it.
Though it is described that there is a brake of the bellows type somewhere of the main wing in material
For the door of a rear gear,
I was made to assume that it existed and to equip.
It might not exist originally.
If I am wrong..................
Sorry..........

[ About the directions point in FS2004 ]

This aircraft model is made by using FSDS Ver2.24.
Therefore, it is possible to play basically in FS2004(FS9).
However........!!
For a wide large-scale aircraft, the distortion is caused and the phenomenon of the aerofoil tip's disappearing happens in the spot shooting mode.
If this phenomenon happens, Please switch to the spot shooting mode by using other small aircraft.
Afterwards, if this aircraft is selected, it is normally displayed.
