AirWrench, Copyright (C) 2004-2009, GWBeckwith

 

AirWrench is an automated editor designed to create and tune-up flight dynamics files for fixed wing aircraft in Microsoft Flight Simulator and Microsoft Combat Flight Simulator.  AirWrench estimates aerodynamic coefficients using the actual aircraft's physical dimensions and flight performance to create convincingly realistic virtual aircraft models.  Flight Simulator versions supported include:  FS2002, FS2004, FSX, CFS1, CFS2, and CFS3.

Free Evaluation!

 

A software activation key must be purchased to completely enable all AirWrench functions; however, to allow evaluation before purchase, all unactivated AirWrench installations run in demonstration mode.

 

In demonstration mode, AirWrench will open and analyze the flight dynamics files for any aircraft, and for limited aircraft types, it will even save updated flight dynamics files. 

 

Demonstration mode restrictions are as follows:

  • Piston engine type only.

  • Max Rated HP less than 230 HP.

  • Normally aspirated.

  • Gravity Carburetor only.

  • Fixed Pitch Propeller only.

  • Maximum speed at sea-level less than 130 mph.

  • Basic Weight less than 2500 lbs.

NEW!  Starting with v1.01.51, contact points are editable in evaluation mode!

 

AirWrench Activation Code - $20.00 (US)
