New Vulcan...but don't hold your breath

Mmmm
Interesting little thing :think:
I have tried it (& removed it) so here are a few of my views.
Its made by a couple of Italians - who to be fair have probably never seen the real deal.
If this were the only Vulcan to be available fair enough, but model wise I would say our Japanese modeler does a better job, & when this one is compared with the paywre version its faults show up.
Certainly the tail is sqat, & only the upper 'speed brakes' are deployed when asked for. Funnily enough the head on view had me thinking of XH558's last sorties over Lincolnshire before she was sold on .
Reading the documentation you think 'Reheat' what reheat! Sure enough, I pressed 'L' & I got 4 afterburners.
Panel wise there is a basic VC that has an operational fighter type 'stick' - looking like a Vulcan erm..'stick' should.
At this point I called it a day & deleted it :shock: .
There are better models available to my mind, but as a first go & by two Italians too I commend them for their efforts.
I feel the need to go & fly the Alpha Victor again :dance:

Hi Bob
You are being kind in suggesting that the Italians may never have seen the real thing so that in some way excuses flaws.
Intersting because many of the accurate models portrayed in FS have ben made by modellers that have never seen the real thing...so me thinks kindness but no excuse :think: . The Vulcan is well documented, not so on some rare type
DelP made an excellent HP.42 but he has not seen a real one....and he didn't add afterburners either :roll:

Yeah, I never bothered to download it. Personally, I prefer the Phoenix Design Vulcan (that's not PSS ), which is much better on the exterior model front, than this new Vulcan, or Ito's.
And PD also have made a Shackleton!

OK, Its $*ite :roll:
How ironic it would have been if we could cross out Italians & write Argentinians

I thought I might try the Phoenix Design Vulcan mentioned above. Yes, it does appear to be a nice model and well detailed with a characterful panel.
Unfortunately, I can get no gauges to appear. I have put the folder PD_VUL in the Gauges folder in the main Flightsim folder as instructed but no joy. Not even FS Panel Studio will recognize them.
I do have other examples of this gauge type (for example the B-47) and which work well, but this one is just stubborn! I have tried to find a typing mistake or something which is usually the problem in these cases but I cannot find a clue. Can anyone suggest an answer?
