Virtavia Supermarine Scimitar

[DarrenL]

Virtavia have re-launched the Alphasim Scimitar today, has anyone got it and can give recommendation or not?

I've always liked the Scimitar and as far as I know this is the only model of it for FSX and it'll add to a great Naval line up on Ark Royal if it's worth it.

Hi Darren.

The Scimitar was (I think) the last Alpha model I bought and suffered the same high-speed stall characteristics shown by the previous couple of fast jets they released. However, I suspected it would and it did but I wanted one anyway I never fly it but it's there should I want to one day. Boring I know but all my carrier ops in fast jets are done in the Skysim Vixen

Thanks for the quick reply Dave.

I'll hold off for now I think, it's not an essential and I've got more than enough to keep me occupied since Christmas. I'm sure the Flying Stations Buccaneer will soon take my mind off it anyway

Whereabouts has it been released?

I'd love to know if it's been upgraded at all from the old Alpha model. I held off purchasing that based on what people said at the time but if it's been tweaked or improved I might part with some pennies.

£22 seems to be quite an amount for an FS9 model ported into fsx. It must be something like six years old now.

It's FSX native isn't it?

[DaveB]

I doubt it's been touched in any shape or form since it was on sale at Alpha though I can't confirm that (which I'm not going to)

It's also on sale here.. http://secure.simmarket.com/virtavia-su ... mk.1.phtml

The FSX model is FSX native and the FS9 model is.. an FS9 model

As far as I am aware it has not been up graded in any way, but still enjoy flying it.
