Robs next "gift" for FSX -- presently being developed
the DH Sea Hornet - this one is a NF21 with the ASH "thimble nose" and observers position
although Rob says he is also modeling the Standard Sea Hornet and the RAF Hornet.

Your chance to fly the fastest production Fighter is coming soon!

Whoever designed that nose needs to get shot; the land-based version looks way better.

The maximum speed is quite attractive though...760 kph.


Anyways, good to see more freeware for FSX!
 
GO Rob , Looks 'Friggin' Brilliant .. :salute:

Gotta say I'm very happy with this news, I've always loved the Hornet, but whats happened to his supermarine attacker? I was looking forward to that!

The Attacker is presently in the hands of someone else - who is adding the RATOG and effects to the model. As soon as he finishes it , it will be released.....all these these models will feature as part of RNAS Stretton as well in the late fall.

I will pass that along to Rob, coming from you thats high praise
The NF21 Sea Hornet was fitted with ASH radar - hence the thimble nose and the Radar Operators
position added as an after thought behind the wing. The Stock Sea Hornet and the RAF Hornet
were far more graceful looking aircraft, Rob is planning on both standard nose versions....and someone well known here will be doing the paints for him.

This baby is going to be used heavily in the RTW Race if the flight model is game.

Nice work!
:wavey:
 
Personally the HF21 was always my favourite variant of the Hornet, the raf and other variants looked great too but that NF21 always caught my imagination as a boy there beauty even in ugliness lol!
 
Bumped again (please forgive the intrusion)

Rob has just handed the NF21 to the beta team.

It has (as usual) an incredible cockpit and the suggested sound is the Mustang merlin sound set for FSX (it duplicates the four bladed sound)

If the Gannet,Sea Venom and Vampire were anything to go by - this will be a very short beta period so it will be available soon at The Pond.
