Not seen that one BPF but I have the SkyUnlimited Hurricane. It seems to cover what you see on offer there plus the Mk1. Will be interested to see what it's like.. should someone buy it (and no.. it won't be me.. just yet) :lol:

I'd say it was a reasonable model. The skin is quite nice but I noticed a couple of places where it seems like a shabby fit and it seems very torquey on take-off, but other than that it flies quite well and there is nothing sophisticated to upset anyone - an awful lot better than the Eurofighter Typhoon.

Being something of a Hurricane admirer, I spotted this going for £7.50 in GAME in Torquay last Friday. Well, for one thing my PC isnt really capable of handling the aeroplane (soon to be rectified :)) and then after installing the scenery for the three airfields, found that 1) they don't align with the VFR scenery and 2) that North Weald has tarmac runways - these were added in the postwar years - was a little disappointed with this, as have flown out of there on many a occasion.

Oh well, suppose it pays not to look in the bargain bucket!

As far as I can remember that IS the Sky Unlimited one,

Contact Simulations are a bit like Just Flight, they normally just repackage other manufacturers aircraft.

This is definately NOT the Sky Unlimited Huricane. The model and the AI Hurricane were specially built for this release. I should know because I know the designer and I did the airfields for the package. So ner! ;-)
Furthermore Contact Simulations don't 'repackage' other manufacturer's aircraft. They do however ' retail' other publisher's products which is very different.

Sorry my mistake, read the back of the packaging in game once, must have misread it.

So far it's the only FsX Hurricane and therefore with some minor faults it's Gold dust.
