FS2004 Hawker Typhoon Package
FS2004 Hawker Typhoon Package. ALPHA Simulations 2004. The Hawker Typhoon was an adventurous design intended to take full advantage of unique and complex Napier Sabre engine. This powerplant was a 24-cylinder arrangement, essentially comprising two horizontally-opposed flat-twelve engines conjoined in a pancaked manner. The engine had many teething problems which were ultimately sorted, but prevented the Typhoon from becoming the plane it should have been until late in the war. The aircraft itself was not without its troubles, many being lost due to the aircraft losing its entire tail section whilst in flight! The engine never proved effective at the high altitudes of aerial combat, and the aircraft was thus relegated to the more hazardous role of ground attack, where it came into its own and wreaked havoc on enemy supply lines and communications.
