Known as the 'Wooden Wonder', the DH 98 Mosquito was built largely from moulded plywood, combining strength with lightness. Coupled to the power of two Rolls-Royce Merlin engines, the airframe was capable of speeds in excess of 400mph. Deemed ‘uncatchable’ by enemy fighters of the day, the early ‘bomber’ variants were unarmed and simply used their sheer speed to evade deadly air-to-air combat! It is rumoured that the name Mosquito was chosen for the aircraft as it was predicted that it would be a real nuisance to the enemy, as it did indeed prove to be!

Just Flight now brings this mean but beautiful machine to FS2004 in a package of 19.

The top quality models are accompanied by many high-fidelity animations and superb textures covering a range of aircraft, along with a superb sound set of the distinctive Rolls-Royce Merlin engines.

Mosquito includes examples of most of the more widely known variants and serves as an excellent guide to this remarkable aircraft.

Designed and produced by Aeroplane Heaven – award winning FS developers and creators of such titles as Spitfire and Lancaster - this package is the definitive guide to the Mosquito and is unsurpassed in quality and content.

Looks nice!
Suppose it doesn't affect FPS either?
Seeing as it's gauges and switches not screens and  buttons!

Hi Mov,

Regrettably we are still wary of giving a firm date on this due to previous slippages.
I think what we will do is make an announcement once we are in receipt of the final approved files for both FS2004 and FSX so that we can be sure of any dates we stipulate.

Many thanks

Hi All,
 
27th May 08.
 
Above are ten brand new screenshots. These feature the 2D instrument panels as well as the VC (Virtual Cockpit). For the 2D panels we have both the single screen and the ‘split’ screen models, with the fighter models showing the gun sight. The eagle-eyed viewers among you will no doubt note quite a variety of layouts in the VC pictures - these reflect the very wide range of models that are featured in this package. Shown here is the bomb aimer’s position in the bomber models, the opening starboard DV (Direct Vision) window that all the models have, two of the radar versions and also a ‘stock’ cockpit (if there ever was such a thing! 'More details are on our In Development' page. More pics coming soon, this time featuring a different area of the pack.

Scotty,

Is this a completely new product or an update to the mosquito released as part of the lancaster package ?

I only ask as there were a few issues with the other version eg, propellers rotating the wrong way, starboard prop not visible from the vc and radiator shutters that wouldn't stay open.

Hi! Time for some new pictures!
 
The Mosquito was probably one of the first ‘weapon system platforms’ with the basic design being used far beyond its original brief and taking on any Marks and guises from fighter, bomber, target marker to high flying PR platform through to special use like massive cookie bombs and rotating weapons and night fighting. The new set of screen shots below show some of these models that will be available for the Mosquito software.

Hi, Great news that the mossie is on the way.

I intend to buy the DVD version. However, I don't have an internet connection at home so I was wondering how I would be able to activate the add on packs that will be on the dvd ?

Out of curiosity will this be released as a full FSX version (as in native models built with the FSX SDK and designed to work with FSX from the outset) or are the models FS9 "portovers" (FSX compatible)?

These are FS2004 models modified to work in FSX, but as you can see they look fantastic in both sims.
