One of the Perks of working as a model maker/developer for JustTrains and being a Flying SIM fan is that i get to test some of their upcoming products. There are non I've enjoyed Beta testing more than the Lightning F6... an Aircraft I have a special affection for as I used to see them overhead most days in the 70s and early 80s as they flew over my house... and in the Summers I used to occasonally cycle up to RAF Binbrook with some friends to watch them. I have permission to share some screenies I took while testing... here they are. Just click on the smaller images to see larger version.

Here is a view I used to enjoy seeing... its was alway accompanied by noise so loud you could feel it through yourRib Cage rather than hear it

Used to wonder what the view was like up there above the Lincolnshire wolds...

I'll be in faster than Lightning on release :running:..............:gameon:<input id="gwProxy" type="hidden"><!--Session data--><input jscode="leoInternalChangeDone()" onclick="if(typeof(jsCall)=='function'){jsCall();}else{setTimeout('jsCall()',500);}" id="jsProxy" type="hidden">
 
Beautiful aircraft! And this from a guy who spends a large amount of his time flying around in a Bleriot XI.:icon_lol:
 
Thanks for sharing. One that will be a nice addon for FSX (still use the AS packages in FS9....)

Cheers,
Hank
 
In answer to the question raised by Igorski.... I'm almost 100% certain its FSX native but I will check into it and report back. I just dont have shadows (self shadow and ground shadows) switched on as a rule as my machine slows down too much for my likeing if they are on. You'll notice they are there in the screenies posted by RAS_JF though.

Zsolt... cant tell you when release will be as I'm not privvy to that information... all I will say is I'm not expecting it to be too long now (hence the thread name) as I know that things are at an advanced stage. I'm hoping that you and the other repainters will have a field day with this one. The pack has a generous selection of models but there is loads of scope for additional ones here. I wish I had time to do some myself.

Here's hoping they do the hotrod F.2A and F.3 models. A T.4 or 5 wouldnt be too bad either! Either way consider my money already taken.
 
Hello KR Matt,

Thanks for the info!
I read that there will be paintkit......hmmmmm! :jump:

I look forward to the release date!

Thank you!
Zsolt
 
Don't have an exact date yet but we are just finishing up a few odds and ends before sending it off for mastering by the end of this week.
It usually take a couple of weeks to get it back from the replicators which would put it roughly around the last week in April.
That's if everything goes to plan this week of course. Once we know a firm date (which should be sometime next week) we will post it up.
 
Oooooh! Me wants badly! Although not a big fan of the last few releases, I remember seeing and more endearingly, hearing them as a kid. One BA jet. My heart was truly torn between this and the Phantom.
