Hawker Hind in FSX

[falcon409]

Every so often I go looking for aircraft I haven't flown yet. Usually GA or Classics (I like the virtual wind in my hair. . . or what's left of it). This go-around I stopped at the Hawker Hind. A pretty nice model inside and out and done by Edward Cook for FS9. Aside from the prop blur which was a bit tacky, everything else looks and functions quite nicely. I did some work on the exterior and VC (new hi-res textures, panel lines, rivets, screws, etc) to add my own details to it and I'm really enjoying flying it a lot. I added an AP, however that is being a bit of a brat right now and so other than Alt hold it isn't much good for anything else, lol. The file name is hind_v02.zip at flightsim.com.

If you like that, have you tried the Hawker Fury from First class Sims Hawker Heroes, real nice?

Reminds me that I need to start back on the Hawker hector I started building for Rami (CFS2). Need a new rig first though.

Just had a good look at the texs, nice work!!

I think Mr Cook did the whole range of these early Hawkers. now over 10 years old. They really could use a major overhaul for FSX and above imo.

He certainly did a great job of covering BTW Hawker aircraft.
Shame some of the 'Commercial' interests don't take these aircraft on, the best of the FCS releases is the Hawker Fury, I can only salivate over the thought of the Hart-Demon-Hind 'family done to their Fury standard.
And the thought of a Fury Mk.II almost results in a chubby!

Who or what is "FCS"?

 

[huub vink]

FCS stand for First Class Simulations which is a payware publisher who have release a package called "Hawker Heroes". This package contains a very nice Hawker Fury.

Cheers,

lol, Thanks Guys. . .I was already made aware of that site and in my early morning haze. . .forgot all about it. Need to go back to sleep and try again, lol. I looked the package over and while it has some excellent models, the only one I would have any interest in would be the Fury. Too bad it isn't available as a single. By the way Huub, I did download the excellent Heinkel He51. Really nice modeling and texturing job on that one.

I can vouch for the FCS Fury. It's in my top 50 aircraft and I'm very picky.

Yep, as I mentioned, I was already made aware of it. . .woke up too early and in my mindless haze. . .failed to remember even the easiest of tasks, lol

Great sound also. Still one of my favorites.

 

[dhasdell]

The Fury is lovely "as is", but the other two types benefit from some of the repaints which, fortunately, are available.

 

[wombat666]

This could use a few repaints from our really talented group of artistes ..........
The 'stock' paints are very good and it remains one of my all time favourite aircraft just the same.
