FSX/P3D V3 Bell P-59 Airacomet Updated. The Bell P59 Airacomet was a twin jet-engined fighter aircraft, the first produced in the United States, designed and built by Bell Aircraft during World War II. The United States Army Air Forces were not impressed by its performance and cancelled the contract when fewer than half of the aircraft ordered had been produced. Although no P-59s entered combat, the fighter paved the way for another design generation of U.S. turbojet-powered aircraft, and was the first turbojet fighter to have its turbojet engine and air inlet nacelles integrated within the main fuselage. This an FSX update of the Kazunori Ito model and my previous FSX update featuring completetely revised panels, interior and virtual cockpit. The focus of this update lies upon the highly authentic look of VC and 2D panel. The panels have been designed according to internet images of the real panel. Thanks to Kazunori Ito for the original model. The model very likely will work in Prepar3D version3 as well. New panel design and gauge configuration by Michael Pook.
