The Virtavia Handley-Page Hampden for MSFS is a detailed simulation of a nearly obsolete British World War II bomber that managed to make a significant impact during its service. Known as the “Flying Suitcase” for its narrow fuselage and cramped crew positions, the Hampden was faster and more maneuverable than its contemporaries, with a payload capacity comparable to the Wellington and Whitley. Despite its initial success in daylight raids, the Hampden’s inadequate defensive armament led to its adaptation for night operations, where it continued to perform effectively, including participating in the first “1,000 bomber” raid before its withdrawal in 1942. This aircraft variant collection includes detailed liveries from various squadrons and air forces, reflecting its diverse operational history.
The latest creation of Virtavia features VR readiness with latch-on yoke functionality, an immersive Wwise sound package, and a highly detailed cockpit with extensive animations and interactive controls. Users will appreciate the authentic flight model, working automatic controls, and realistic crew figures, alongside the operational leading edge slats, animated canopies, bomb bay doors, and cowl flaps. Additionally, it includes a comprehensive 28-page User Operating Manual and utilizes SIMMARKET’s simInstaller technology for easy installation via the store app. This detailed replication ensures a rich and engaging flight simulation experience.
