"The biggest thing to happen to flight sims since the Wright Brothers"
Now the innovative British company Just Flight, world leaders in the flight simulation genre, is ready to release what is being hailed as the first 'ultra-realistic' flight sim that meticulously captures the heroism and sheer excitement of the historic Dam Busters raid of 1943 and many other operations of the squadron behind it.
"The Dam Busters epitomised the best of British determination and ingenuity - this PC simulation is no different"
The Dam Busters (£24.99) will be released in the UK on 6th September 2002. And has been designed as an expansion to work exclusively with the latest in Microsoft's Flight Simulator series: both Combat Flight Simulator 2 and Flight Simulator 2002, which themselves have set records with sales well in excess of 21 million (Guinness Book of Records).
Much like Wallis and his team struggled to make this remarkable technical achievement, Just Flight and its development team have worked diligently to achieve the level of realism worthy of such historic events. Mimicking history, one of the most difficult elements was the bouncing bomb - a first in flight simulation!
"Dim the lights and get two fried eggs on the stove!"
Imagine flying a heavy Lancaster bomber, 60 feet above the water in the dark of night, whilst under heavy flak… your only focus is maintaining a steady course and altitude above all else. The Dam Busters most famous mission demands you summon the skill and courage of the heroic WWII crew to destroy the Ruhr dams and paralyse the enemy's industrial heart. It's no surprise the raid was carried out by the RAF's elite!
"Re-live the most daring raids of WWII from the RAF's most courageous elite aircrew."
The Dam Busters, as 617 Squadron became known as after the raids of May 1943, were also responsible for some of World War II's other great sorties: the sinking of the Tirpitz, raids on V1 & V2 rocket sites, Bergen U-boat pens and of course the raid on Hitler's 'Eagle's Nest'. There are 19 daring missions awaiting those with courage and good old-fashioned grit.
Alternatively, marvel at the sheer flying spectacle of these amazing machines and drink in the authentic scenic vistas and realistic roar of the old Merlin engines.

"Left, steady, right, steady… hold it Skipper… bombs gone!"
The Dam Busters hosts an impressive and authentic selection of aircraft which were used by 617 Sqn. including the famous 'bouncing bomb' Lancaster, Grand Slam Lancaster, Mosquito and Wellington.
