Wow, I was waiting for this! Vulcan B.2

Is it still a go? They were also doing the VC-10 that was handed to JF (I think the C-46 might have been shared too) but in any case was it dropped? I do see a bubble top P-47 (finally!) on AH site now.

The Javelin is still 'in the queue' and hasn't been cancelled. We partnered with AH on the VC-10 and published the C-46.

Thanks

As mentioned above, this is an in-house developed aircraft and will therefore be fully-functional ('study sim'). So it will be a significant step up from the IRIS version (nearly a decade old now) both in terms of functionality and detail (model/textures), as you can see from the pics above.

Very cool, looking forward to following it's developement
 
Man, yesterday when I saw the photos all I saw was the 3-D render, now I can see the texture, did you guys just replace the pictures? Anyway, it looks fantastic. Really like the thought of a study sim Vulcan!
 
Few new pictures from VC:

I just hope to God that Just Flight put decent cockpit/instrument lighting inside her!!!

She was a pretty dark cockpit -even during a sunny day.
 
Agree really looking forward to this one as there were a few permantly stationed here for several years that regularly dropped blue steels on our woomera range

The only vulcans to delopy nukes if my memory serves me right

I hope the JF guys really consider tacpack intergtation

But either way with or without im sure some will make something from the tp sdk
 
Have to say....I've not seen that paint scheme before, 'desert' camo underneath

Can anyone enlighten me?

Hi, first post on the forum, I worked on the Vulcan 79-84. The wraparound camouflage scheme started appearing on Vulcan’s that underwent major servicings at St Athan in the late 70s early eighties. It was not a special scheme; it was the standard low level pattern. Most of the aircraft that had the scheme applied were the aircraft powered by series 201 Olympus engines.

Just Flight are doing a fantastic job, i was 18 years old in 1980s and it brings back many great memouries.

Hi Matt - Thanks for your kind words, I guess I like many others have benefited enormously from the fantastic work carriedout by the varios develpers that make this community so great.

The Vulcan K2, I remember as a young technichain loading the first test examples in mid 82. BAe at Woodfordm designed the installation using the HDUs destained for VC10s that were being converted.

i remember the cockpit was very dark, I have over 50 hrs in the seventh seat. Not really a seat

I still work in the aircraft industry, having left the RAF after 35 yrs. great times.

Rgds
