Alpha Simulations released today their latest addition to the USA section, the Convair B-58 Hustler! This incredible delta-wing Cold War bomber regains life with the AlphaSim's rendition for Flight Simulator. Featured on the package are five models, including the prototype and trainer variants, together with six stunning texture sets and a great custom soundset.

External animations include all three canopies, drag chute and a jettisonable ventral 'Pod'. The highly-detailed cockpit has numerous clickable animated controls, and the 2D panel recreates the profusion of analogue dials in this advanced 1960's creation. Great care was taken to reproduce the flight dynamics of this beast, landings in particular will challenge even the most seasoned simmers and are greatly rewarding when mastered. The Alpha Simulations Convair B-58 Hustler is priced at $26.00 and a promotional video is available for download.
