Just Flight has announced Rescue Pilot, the first in a series of expansions from for Flight Simulator X, has now gone 'gold' and the UK release date is set for 25th April. In Rescue Pilot, flight sim fans will get the chance to put their virtual flying skills to use.

A typical day for a Just Flight Rescue Pilot could find him airlifting an injured person from a car accident, picking up a stranded mountaineer or flying a life-or-death dash with a vital medical cargo. Rescue Pilots must use their flying experience to the full in a variety of fixed wing and rotary aircraft to complete the missions but there is also a choice of settings to match an individual's skill levels. The twelve authentic missions and convincing scenarios will keep virtual rescuers glued to their joysticks.
