iniBuilds have released their much-anticipated Curtiss P-40 WarHawk rendition for Microsoft Flight Simulator. The P-40F becomes the developer’s first recreation of a warbird aircraft.
The P-40F version recreated by iniBuilds features the iconic Rolls-Royce Merlin engine. The developer vows that their rendition delivers true-to-life performance figures of the engine. iniBuilds included removable cowlings in their model, allowing you to see the detailed recreation of the engine.
Additionally, the developer explains that their P-40 rendition features an accurate fuel system that uses the new mechanics offered by the simulator platform. Moreover, the P40F also takes advantage of the latest CFD implementation from the simulator, enhancing the flight models of the aircraft.
The P-40F features a comprehensive EFB tablet, allowing pilots to monitor weather information, moving maps, and maintenance information. The EFB can be toggled off if you want to feel a more immersive experience.

Finally, the Curtiss P-40F WarHawk is for sale at the iniBuilds store for €17.41.
The P-40F was an American fighter and ground attack aircraft built by Curtiss during the Second World War. Equipped with a single engine, the aircraft was extensively used by the Allied forces from 1941 to 1944. The P-40F is the third most-produced American fighter of World War II, after the iconic P-51s and P-47s.
