Very small changes to the paintkit Zsolt. If JensOle and I can do it I am sure someone of your ability can do the same!

Zsolt - that is simply stunning. Two HUGE thumbs up.

Any chance for a version without the Suez campaign stripes (yellow/black)? I just love that Venom ....

The Norwegian Vampires have been uploaded, enjoy!

I have had the privilege of flying the Vampire for real several times, and I hope it is ok to post some real world Vampire shots as well.
2-ship out of Rygge AB for some acro flying over the Oslo fjord, summer 2013.

Both are former swiss birds (as most of the Vampire/venoms flying today); LN-DHZ is a T.55/T.11 and LN-DHY is a F.6. Both had Finish AF roundels painted on stickers for an airshow in Finland, they were removed before the trip to Duxford last summer.

Nice pics Jens-Ole, thanks for sharing them with us. That flight had to be a lot of fun!

You lucky devil.

I hope you don't take this the wrong way Jens, buy I hate you so much right now... Fantastic photos of arguably the most elegant jet fighter ever...

hehe... Something special when you straps yourself into the ejection seat of the old lady, sort of like connection with aviation history. The cockpit of the T.55 is very cramped (I seem to remember it was build on the same dimensions as the mosquito and it is a tight fit for 2 MB seats), not to mention the manual ejection procedure. No automatic canopy removal, seat separation or chute opening after ejection. But it feels great in the air, the controls are very harmonic and responsive and it is a joy to fly. The same cannot be said when it is in dirty configuration with everything down... then it turns into a beast..lol. Definitely a lot more work in real life than in FS to land it.

Vampire External fuel tanks?

Does anyone remember how to get the external fuel tanks to show on Rob Richardson's EXCELENT Vampires?

Thanks,

Kent

Stores switches - right hand side under canopy rail. DL

DL - I tried that initially (it works on the Venom), but it only toggles between rockets and bombs and clean on the Vamp. And I've tried filling the external tanks under aircraft fuel - nope, didn't work either. I'm stumped and must be missing something...

If I remember correctly, the FB model does not have fuel tanks, just clean or weapons. The F model has tanks.

My Vampire FB5 has tanks and weapons Jens.

Doh! The crazy part is, I actually noticed that the gunsight switch worked, and couldn't figure out what it did, since I never went to outside view with it turned to the right!

Thanks for the replies, everyone.

Wonderful models!!!!

Nice, then I learnt something new today...lol I just tested it and finally I got some tanks on the FB. I flew the textures with the F model to get tanks...
