Fast, Fast, Fast!!! She comes in HOT, DC. At least the FS9 model did. It took me numerous flights to learn how to stick the landing without bouncing all the way down the runway.

How much fuel were you carrying?This was stage 3 flap, 78% power with 12 degree pitch AOA and max elevator up-trim. Touch down was on the numbers at 150 knots indicated but I was just a little light on the flare so off she went boinging along. Touch of power and off we went again for a go-around. It's great fun, especially in VR
It isn't much, but here are a few shots of the interior. Pretty much all grey and white but the seats were a light brown/tan.

Hope this helps.

It's just a very heavy airplane and the pilot needs to be right on the numbers to get it down just right, which is great to see in a sim as it demands much more than just "light the fires" and go.
There is an interesting video on YouTube with a camera in the well pointed at the gear during touchdown. Initially the TSR landed with the gear orientated as in the screen shots here. The rear main tyre (It IS a British jet now after all!) would touch down first and twist the entire strut towing out the front wheel so that when it touched down it was at a severe angle to the direction of travel and would twist the strut even further which would then spring back sending vibrations through the ship. The solution presented itself in a malfunctioning gear cycle on flight 7 where the leading tyre touched down first as the bogie was in the "wrong" position. The same thing would happen, but this time the twisting strut skewed the trailing wheel inward so when it touched down it kind of brought everything back in line and the vibrations were reduced. This is how the TSR2 landed from that point on. In any case, the amount of rubbery wigglies the gear exhibited in the slow motion footage is hilarious! Can't wait to see If I can get this in and out of Oshkosh!! This is a lovely shot BTW!Boing boing boing... It's a testimony to the existing FDE that this airplane is tricky to land even when using the officially printed figures. One of the real life test pilots almost stacked the prototype during flight testing, so if they found it tough, what chance us mere mortals?
Reading the manual and following procedure is going to be essential with this one...
Try TSR2 Britain's Lost Bomber by Damien Burke. Quite a few color shots in there (and it's a really nice read). My favorite is the seat! Natural metal frame, black cushions and PURPLE seat belts!! Clearly they were building this plane for Prince!
I think you're talking about this one. This Jaguar is part of the package that Dave sent us for possible future release. A long way off.
