Sorry, must have skipped over that!

Thanks everyone! Was at RIAT over the weekend, so the early starts meant any celebrations were kept to a minimum (i.e. there was none). Will have to make up for that tonight!

Consider me a very happy bunny if there's ever an FSX conversion!

And even if there isn't, that looks like a fine model. I admire the wide range of variants in the pipeline, too.

The price is what's stopping me from buying it, too. Doesn't sit well with me that I will have spent well over £100 on just getting the UK to look right (UK2000 and GenX, plus Treescapes on top of that), and even then, there won't be autogen buildings. So it still won't be right! And I'm not sure I ...

Venoms, Vampires and Meteors don't leave much, if anything behind them. It's only...

Don't recall Hunters being particularly smoky, also using Avons. Very clean compared to some of the engines of the time - Conways , Speys , Olympuses (Olympii? :worried:), and yes, certainly compared to some of the American equivalents like the J47 , J79 and TF33 . The video with the PR9 taking off ...

Alright, it'd be nice to fly a native FSX Jag that doesn't trace its routes back to FS2002!
