The new Mossie from JF any good?

[J0hn]

Hi all

I see this morning that Just Flight have released their Mosquito packs for FS9 and FSX. If anyone buys these packs, would you please post to let me - and the others who may be interested - know what you think of them.

The prospect of sowsing around the countryside in a Mossie is appealing to me, but I have so many aircraft in FSX now that I really need to know a model is good before I can justify adding to my collection. Especially if it's payware.

Thanks.

Hi John. I asked over on their support area a few months back and this is an fs 9 model ported to Fsx so it wont be getting my cash.

General view is that it is a port over with some possible issues.

Thanks for that link - think I'll give this one a miss.

Judging by those comments (particular wrt sounds), another slightly "unready" release?

Still can't believe after a two year wait, and with FSX now over 18 months old, it isn't FSX native. You wonder why JF still publish such titles when I'm sure they could get better (or specify better) products elsewhere.

Oh I don't know I quite like it actually. :o

I spent an hour or so last night after getting home from a real world week away, flying around in the BOAC and other versions and it is mostly very nice. The VC does take a couple of seconds to load when you climb in, but the guages are extremely smooth (just as good as the realair spit imho) and the whole sortie can easily be flown from there (25fps wherever I go). The 2d panel is, however, horrid and I'm going to get rid of it. As the vc is so smooth you don't really need the 2d panel at all in my opinion. The model itself is undoubtedly the best currently available notwithstanding what's in the pipeline of course. I saw no problems with the textures and the sounds are good.

I'm still with FS9 and haven't crossed to the dark side although have dabbled occasionally, so I can understand how it might be a disappointment to those who have moved on.

Not me, I'm happy in fs9 land where this Mossie is, I guess, supposed to be.

May the force be with you.

ITV1 are currently showing 633 Squadron, coincidence or part of JF's marketing strategy?

Just how 'new' is the JF Mossie?? Is it a completely different model from the one that popped up with the Lancaster or a rehash of the same??

I didn't have the Lanc pack and its' Mossie but the problems that were reported with it don't appear in this 'new' release. I seem to remember there was a thread over at the outhouse at the time particularly regarding poor handling qualities and lack of animations, bu this one handles like a champ and 'seems' different. IMHO for FS9 it's great and I genuinely have no complaints. Shame we can't have a BOAC route for the VA, but at only one pax per flight it wouldn't make any money!!!
