Aeroplane Heaven DHC-1 Chipmunk - Microsoft Flight Simulator Add-On Review
10The De Havilland Canada DHC-1 Chipmunk was the firm's first indigenous design and was created with the eye to replace the venerable Tiger Moth as the world's premiere basic trainer. It kept the Tiger Moth's simplicity of design, but traded wood for metal and an enclosed canopy. A company funded venture, from the moment of its first flight its potential was recognized by the Royal Candian Air Force and the Royal Air Force, and it would go on to serve both air forces and many more around the world as their basic trainer.
Beyond military life, the aircraft would also see extensive service in civilian flying schools as well as being adapted for numerous other roles including aerobatics, glider towing and crop spraying.
The team at Aeroplane Heaven are no stranger to the Chipmunk, having experience bringing this aircraft to life in the past and they apply this experience to Microsoft Flight Simulator.
Have they delivered the goods or has this representation of an iconic trainer been left lacking? Find out now in this in-depth review!
