FSX 78th Anniversary - Dambusters. Five DB Lancasters after breaching the Moehne Dam flew at tree top level to the Eder Dam in moonlight 17 May 1943. After breaching the Eder Dam the surviving crews flew back to Scampton via the Moehne dam at low level. This celebration allows you to witness the terrain over which they flew at tree top level in moonlight but without having to low fly the Lancaster. The Lancaster used is the previously uploaded FS2004 Plane-Design AJG (December 2009), but retuned to fly as an AI. Once activated AJG flys the route in both directions at the same time. The two AJG's cross over, head to head, along the way. You can simply watch and ponder the terrain they flew over OR you can load up your favorite German fighter (109, 190 or maybe a 262) and go find this intruder. Come up alongside AJG and acknowledge with a wave of the wings the skills these crews had to succeed. The package contains the AI Lancaster and two FSX airfield updates with coded parking spots and taxiways added to allow the AI to fly. Menden EDLA is provided in two forms - for use in the FSX default scenery and for use in the German West photo scenery. The other Airfield is Fritzlar Army. A small German fighter display is included at each airfield to remind us all that we are flying in WW2 Germany. Operating details in the readme. The concept was used to film the four bombers in the RAF Station History of Linton-on-Ouse video. A FSX package by Ross McLennan.
