HAWKER HUNTER MK.58 - SWISSMILSIM

Quick impressions after 10 minutes flying and a back-to-back with Dave's Hunter:

A little disappointing, like their Vampire and Venom the cockpit textures are photos from a well-used museum aircraft and take getting used to.
The instruments are all in Napoleons and most of the text in french.
The manual is here https://swissmilsim.ch/index.php/download/manuel-de-vol-hawker-hunter-mk-58-msfs2024/
All in french but you'll need to learn french anyway to fly it :)

Dave's Hunter is a pleasanter cockpit in VR and feels nicer to fly, cockpit sounds more convincing.

Swissmilsim cockpit more complex so hopefully more depth to explore and things like the canopy structure more convincing visually.
Should be possible to convert the cockpit to Knots/Feet and English as I did for their Vampire and Venom.
 
These Swissmilsim guys mean well, making much loved vintage jets availabe for us in MSFS, but unlike the subjects, they should not live in the past themselves when it comes to FS aircraft modeling.... Sorry to say but that's exactly what their models look like, particularly the VC's. Oké for FS9....

Today it shouldn't be *that* obvious which is the VC screenshot and which is a photo of the real pit. Today there shouldn't be *so* much difference between them :
