Hawker Nimrod and Fury released from Aeroplane Heaven

DennyA

SOH-CM-2023
Shocked nobody here of all places has grabbed and reported on this package!


Not the jet ASW plane nor the air racing WW2 fighter. Rather, peak British biplane design.

Going to grab it direct from AH so I can fly it in both sims immediately. MS hasn’t been getting new releases live even when they’re FS2024 compatible.
 
Well, I don't do VR. So on my 32" monitor with all bullets on Ultra, I got 50-55 fps on MSFS 2020 and 60 fps (my set limit) on MSFS2024 and she'll fly just as well in either, but only in Free Flight in 2024. Personally, it may not have all the hoots and haws of their P-47, but IMHO, this is one of the best flying airplanes AH has done. It's the only airplane I have flown today. Two flights each in 2020 and 2024, simply wonderful.

The shot is an older pre-release image. If you were to look at the actual model you would see that we have cut the appropriate holes for the stubs.
Hi Buzzer, nice to see you around again :jump:
As always you guys have delivered in the nicesed way possible. But - and I'm almost afraid to mention it - since almost an eternity I'm nursing my patients for the Lancaster - still. And I have to add: Due to the state of m$f$2024 I would love to see it in the former release. I really wouldn't mind to see you lifting your deck just a little bit......:wavey:
 
Went for it...it's a nice little plane with some issues which will hopefully get fixed...
Unflyable in VR unless you edit the cameras.cfg file, courtesy of Spud on the official forums:
"pilot vr , cam definition 24 set to
InitialXyz= 0.0, -0.06, -1.08"
though that puts me too far back, so I'm experimenting.
Interior sound miserable, nothing like an old biplane (exterior sound NICE)
Hole in the Fury right lower plane, Nimrod lower planes low-res or missing textures?
Ailerons out of line, on the Nimrod the aileron end plates are also missing.
Probably not too noticeable in 2D but sore thumb in VR...

EDIT - the sounds are from their Spitfire...hmmmm...no surprise there is no wind noise...
And the Nimrod wing Normal file seems to be missing the rivets...maybe that's right, but it doesn't look right, I've copied over the Fury file to see.

No please, let them go for the WWII stuff! And for 2020 at that. The working sim!

I actually shouldn't be saying that as the moderator of the 2024 forum, but hey?!
