On the main websites (Flightsim, Avsim etc.) is now available the Aermacchi MC-202 Folgore (Lightning) for FS9 and FSX ( with minor limitations), the best italian fighter to reach an appreciable production quantity (as well as the FIAT CR-42 biplane) during World War II.
Super detailed VC, 2 models , several textures. Great effort from our friend Manuele Villa and his Team ( I personally worked and helped on flights dynamics).
The plane was as good as a Me-109 E or F and even better but was plagued by a difficult main spar fabrication engineering and semi handicraft construction.
Furthemore, Italian planes reached great quality only with german engines, i.e. Daimler Benz DB-601 and 605 . The Macchi armament was limited to only 2 machine guns (Breda Safat 0.50) plus 2 smaller machine guns on wing ( seldom used).

Enjoy !

Gmax models and skins by Manuele Villa and Italianwings, flight dynamics by Manuele Villa and Kikko Zanaboni.

Thanks for the HU! Indeed, this is another superb release by Manuele Villa & team. These old Italian planes wouldn't normally be my cup of tea, if not for the astounding attention to detail Mr. Villa gives to each of his creations. Definitely worth the d/l...

If you like the WWII fighters, I think the Macchis are among the most beautiful ones. OK, Spitfire beauty is eternal and no discussion ;) but the design and silhouette of the Macchi 202 and 205 are in my opinion simply marvellous. Italian style. B)smk

Some kind folks over at SimOuthouse have posted updated textures to make the aircraft more FSX friendly. :)
