Take control of a classic British plane that enjoyed its heyday
during the 1960's and 70's - the Hawker-Siddeley Trident.
In 1957, BEA issued a specification for an aircraft to be
built with at least 80 seats and a range of 1000 miles. After
much re-specification and redesign, the Hawker-Siddeley Trident
was created and first flew in January 1962. So called because
of its three engines, the Hawker-Siddeley Trident was the
first tri-jet in history to fly and at its peak was one of
the fastest airliners made. You can practically feel the air
of anticipation as you grapple with the controls and manage
to get the notoriously difficult Trident 3B model off the
runway and into the air...
Trident
is
an add-on for those who already own Microsoft Flight Simulator
2002/2004. As well as getting the chance to pilot the
Hawker-Siddeley Trident, aviation fanatics also have the opportunity
to revisit other Trident aircraft. Trident allows enthusiasts
to relive the glory days of British designed and built planes
from 1962 to 1978.
There
are three models of Trident to take control of, including
the
1C, 2E and 3B - all include a 3D
virtual cockpit as well as a 2D panel. The developer has also
provided added realism by using photographic textures for
the panel and instruments. The 3B
option delivers an additional 5250 lbs. of thrust for take
off and climbout at the flick of a switch. And, as in the
real version, the aircraft is fitted with autoland.
A
number of different liveries are also available, including
BEA Red Square; BEA High Speed Jack; British Airways Red Tail;
and CAAC.
If
you are a true flying enthusiast - and spend hours locked
away playing Microsoft Flight Simulator, then this
add-on will come as a welcome diversion.
