Summary

If you love your planes, then no doubt you'll have squeezed every last gameplay drop out of the ultra-hardcore Microsoft Flight Simulator X. No doubt you'll have dabbled with many of the extensive expansion packs created by third parties too, all allowing you to fly various aircraft in stunning detail.

Flight1 presents the BN-2 Islander in this package, and the vehicle's pedigree makes it more than worthy of a look. It stands as one of the best-selling commercial aircraft types produced in Europe and 750 of these are still in service despite being designed in the 1960s. With this expansion, you get to fly the British-manufactured light utility, mainline and cargo airliner in its full glory – without the decades-old musk.

Along with cockpit self-shadowing, HDR bloom effects and bump mapping, this full-featured FSX release also has internal and external visuals that's compatible with the latest Direct-X 10 technologies. Take control of the all-purpose craft and feel the handling of the twin engines, IFR cockpit and 30kts cross-wind limit as you glide through all kinds of weather.

Its reliability has made it the aircraft of choice for those in the Scottish Western Isles, come rain or shine, and you too can experience why so many still use this classic vehicle today.
