Complete Aircraft with Virtual Cockpit
FS2004 Savoia Marchetti SM. 79 Sparviero SERVICE PACK 1 (v. 02) It was the most important Italian bomber of World War II, this tough three-engined aircraft established a reputation that contrasted with most Italian weapons of the day, and it was flown with courage and skill. SM. 79s served widely in the normal bombing role, but it is as a land-based torpedo bomber that the type deserves its place in military aviation history, being regarded by many as one of the finest torpedo bombers of the war. In spite of its cumbersome appearance and outdated construction, with an internal provision for 2, 750 lb (1, 250 kg) of bombs, supplemented by under fuselage rack for a torpedo, the S.

The SM. 79 had a distinctive hump on the upper forward fuselage, which housed both the fixed forward-firing heavy machine-gun and the dorsal gunners position. Its appearance earned the aircraft the nickname Gobbo Maledetto (Damned Hunchback).

The add on appears to be a work in progress, meaning it still needs some more work. forward view of the 2D cockpit is absent. virtual has limited functionality, substituting black background for much detail guages are present and appear functional. light key did not shed any cockpit. It does fly fairly well, handling something like Ford Tri motor.
