DH Vampire FB 5 for FSX acceleration (freeware)

[peterwatkins2]

I think another first for the Vampire was that it was built and powered by the same company. I can't think of any jet aircraft except the Vampire, Venom and early Comets with airframes and engines made in house.

To continue the Royal Auxiliary Airforce series a 608 squadron Vampire would be very acceptable.

OK Mike, 608 Sqn F3 VF316 based at Thornaby in 1951 now uploaded at BritSim.

Thank you Peter, I've been flying around in my little jet powered scooter.

The DeHavilland Vampire FB5 paintkit available?

Unfortunately I can not find!

Any idea?

What's going on over at Britsim?

I'm completely unable to download anything from there. I get "anti-leach" messages whenever I try.
Yes, I do have an account there, and don't get any error messages on login.

Stranger and stranger.

Just put the vampire paintkit up on my site again, I must have deleted it by mistake.

Does this incarnation of the Vampire give a loadout option for external wing tanks?

Other than that, it looks great!

Edit: Please disregard-- I see underwing tanks are an option...

de Havilland Vampire FB.52 "VO445" of the Royal Norwegian Air Force. This particular aircraft was the personal mount of Wing Commander Werner H. Christie during the early 1950s. Christie was an ww2 ace, having flown both the Spitfire and Mustang (the later as wing commander of the Hunsdon wing in 1945).

Best news of the day, seeing those RNoAF repaints Jens-Ole!

Looking forward to finally flying with a RNoAF colored Vampire in fsx.

An adversary for the Israeli Gloster Meteor FR9!

 

[JensOle]

Looking good!

A small detail observation for the panel lines; the top engine cover followed the shape of the wing (and not straight out as in the paintkit). The same goes for the cover latches which got a staggered layout because of the wing contour.

Gorgeous

Don't suppose there's a trainer version in the works anywhere?

 

[JensOle]

The old Alphasim T.11 is still quite nice.

 

[flyinggoldfish]

True, true... Any idea how it performs in FSX?

[WarHorse47]

Nice, Zsolt.

I assume these are available for immediate download somewhere??

It works very well for me in Acceleration, I needed to adjust the cfg position figures for the exhaust smoke but everything else is OK for me.

Thanks for that, JensOle! I have now revised my paintkit accordingly and modified the Egyptian paint. I guess I need to revisit all my other paints which seem to have disappeared from BritSim. I wonder if Zsolt will revise his paints also.
