About This File

FSX Thunderbird 5 V1. Thunderbird 5 - International Rescue's geo-stationary orbital satellite - monitors radio frequencies, 24/7, for distress signals. It is usually seen to be manned by primary space monitor John or Alan Tracy. Bristling with antennae and a myriad of sophisticated listening devices, TB5 is a world all its own - unique, even amongst the company of its sister Thunderbirds. Its mission is of paramount importance to the very existence of International Rescue... This addon package is designed for FSX Steam Edition, it may work in FS2004, Normal FSX at your own risk. This aircraft is a working prototype, a further release of Thunderbirds 3, 4, and 5 should be expected in the not too distant future. The V1 Version, this package is currently the first release, my fifth successful attempt at creating my own aircraft. This aircraft cruises at roughly mach 5/6 or between 2500 and 3000 knots! So it may be difficult to control and pilot. So you can expect a proper physical workout and mental exersise! It can even go up to around/between 50,000 to 600,000+ feet. It does orbit the Earth/planet erratically, meaning that it will not appear to swivel/swurve from side to side, but if you look at the FSX World Map/aircraft course trajectory map, you will see that it does orbit the earth, but in a varying course.

You%u2019re welcome! I am a big fan of Thunderbirds too, as I used to watch an episode on re-runs every Saturday morning, when I was a young child. I am also working on a Version 2 of Thunderbird%u2019s 3, 4 and 5, to make them better and more realistic, as I have used a lot of elements from already provided FSX aircraft, such as the space shuttle, the Grumman Goose and the Boeing 747. Also, some people may notice, that if they don%u2019t use slew mode after a while, TB5 will loose a lot of altitude and then it will hit the ground, then fly back into orbit again, and then repeat the cycle. So there are quite a few bugs to still work out.
