Virga Studio Alphajet Released 6/16

I got it as well, nice model overall. Gripes: The cockpit and external matte texture models could use some work, the sound file also has issues (it may be a legacy sound file), and I can't find a manual anywhere. Does anyone know how to get the canopy to open? The switches/lever for that have a click-spot but they don't move and I can't find any other switch spot that may unlock & open the canopy. Beyond that, it is a very nice model. Love having it and the Azurpoly Jaguar which is just a magnificent model.

This may be something you've already tried, but did you test the scroll wheel to see if they activate that way?
 
Switches/Knobs only work if you set them to Lock , in Settings -> General Options -> Accessibility -> Cockpit Interaction System -> Lock ( instead of the default Legacy mode of MSFS ).

Don't forget to switch back to Legacy if you afterwards use another airplane..
 
I just bought it. Absolutely not worth the price at this point (IMHO). Agree that the pilot is ridiculously undersized, and that textures are not of the detail or quality typically associated with payware at this price. The airplane seems to shake as it flies through the skies as well. Not impressed. Hopefully they will issue patches to improve this product.
 
Thanks for that! I really want the Alphajet but I'm definitely going see what happens as more buyers relay their questions and requests to the developer.

Reading some of the posts on their Discord, they (developers) seem to feel like what we are seeing is an optical illusion and that the pilot is actually the correct size. They show several RL shots to illustrate that.
 
Okay, Ed...I went back and decided to give it another try (KSAF-KABQ at sunset)...and I have to admit, it has potential. It needs some fixes, I think (English placards in the cockpit would be REALLY nice!). Here is the pilot in the model and in real life. Yes, I think the pilot needs to be rescaled. Also would like more option for external stores. We also need a good, layered paint kit (The Portuguese AF, Luftwaffe and TopAces camo liveries are on the top of my "want" list). Still....for $34 US...it needs some work.
