A preview video I knocked up yesterday:

Beautiful plane and video Martyn! Thanks for sharing. I had never seen the drop tanks on top of the wing, just AAM's. Would the tanks on top still be jettisonable in normal flight?
 
Hi Matt,

One of the Lightning manuals says the following:

Empty overwing tanks may be jettisoned between 200 and 250 knots and up to 0.75M at heights up to 40,000ft in straight and level flight. Overwing tanks containing fuel are not to be jettisoned.

There are references online to explosive bolts being used. They could definitely make a mess if they didn't clear the fuselage quickly!

Thanks
Martyn
 
Not too sure about the yellow canopy tint or the size of underwing and fuselage serials on the bare metal skins but hopefully they will make adjustments before release.
 
BTW the video really doesn't do the Turbine Sound Studios soundset justice, the start up and reheat sounds are superb!

Yes those are the sounds from FSX, I didn't edit the video content in anyway, just stitched it all together.
