THE X-15 FOR FLIGHT SIMULATOR SERIES
The X-15 for Flight Simulator series of add-on rocket
aircraft brings the excitement of high-speed and highaltitude flight and the challenge of an X-15 research mission to the desktop PC.
X-15-1 for Flight Simulator with the XLR-11 engines and
the NACA “vane-type” boom nose. This is the limitedmission configuration.
It consists of 11 fully detailed versions of the legendary
North American X-15 experimental rocket plane, available in three separate add-on packages (see appendix 7):
Package A contains: 4 versions of the X-15-1 airplane (s/n. AF56-6670);
Package B contains: 2 versions of the X-15-2 airplane (s/n. AF56-6671) together with 2 versions of
the X-15-3 airplane (s/n. AF56-6672);
Package C contains: 3 versions of the “advanced”
X-15A-2 airplane (s/n. AF56-6671).
Each aircraft comes with fully functional instrument
panels that allow the desktop pilot not only to fly the
airplane, but also to recreate and simulate nearly every
step and procedure required in a typical X-15 mission.
Contrary to the real-world X-15 that was launched at a
high altitude from a carrier airplane, the X-15 for Flight
Simulator can take off from an airport runway like any
other Flight Simulator aircraft! The flight model allows
the airplane to accelerate up to approximately Mach 4.65
(or the maximum speed supported in Flight Simulator
2004), reach an altitude of 100,000 feet (the actual
FS2004 limit), burn most of its fuel, complete its ballistic

trajectory, decelerate, jettison its remaining propellants
and finally glide its way back to the nearest dry lake runway or airport.
