Another historical aircraft is coming to Microsoft Flight Simulator in the form of the Grumman JRF-6B Goose. Aircraft Big Radials has put the finishing touches on their aircraft and its now available for purchase. Let’s have a look at this aircraft and some of the unique features that they are advertising.

Goose time!

Originally designed for well off Long Island residents who wanted am amphibian aircraft to take them from their homes into New York City, the Goose went on to lead a very different life, serving military purposes during World War II before turning back to civilian operators after the conclusion of the war.

The version presented by Big Radials is a U.S. Navy spec JRF-6B flown by the US Navy and Coast Guard on maritime patrol, transport, navigation training and other duties. It’s a flexible aircraft being able to fly from land or water and Big Radials says they are interested to see where people decide to take it.

The aircraft sports the usual array of features plus a few unique ones. First, the standard 4K PBR textures, native flight model, high quality 3D model, and sounds. It comes with a Bushtrip (from Seattle to Stewart), and an optional GPS.

There are also some really unique items on offer. Engine failures? Check! Fire and smoke if you don’t look after the engines? Check! Fishing pole and stool to sit on? Check and check! Big Radials, in my experience, have also done a good job of making simple, easy to read documentation and that’s available for everyone to read here.
