FSX/Accel Pilotable French WWII Battleship Richelieu. FSX Acceleration WWII French Battleship Richelieu. This class was based on the smaller Dunkerque class and should be a response to the Italian Littorio class. Commisioned in 1940, just before the Germans won the Battle of France, Richelieu was sent to Dakar in French West Africa to remain under Frech control. She then was attacked and damaged twice by the British Forces. Repaired in USA Rihelieu served for the British Home Fleet before she supported the Eastern Fleet in Asia against Japan. After the war, given back to France, the ship served as training- or later as barrack-vessel. Richelieu was decommisioned in 1968 and broken up in 1968. The pilotable version provides plenty of animations and has a 2D panel. Twenty five FSX camera views let you explore all decks and some external views. The AI version is proposed to be used with the great tool "ai-carriers2". FSDS 3.5 models and 2D panel by Erwin Welker.
