New Vampire
Just noticed a new Vampire at FSFrance. Not sure how correct it is, but it sure is fun! http://www.fsfrance.com/
"Mankind has a perfect record in Aviation, We've never left anyone up there."
Just downloaded it for a go and yes, it is fun.
I'm no expert when it comes to giving a verdict on aircraft or the handling qualities but here goes:
Very positive on the controls but can be over-done when doing aerobatics very nearly lost control on one occassion when performing low altitude.
Panel photo-realistic but no side views, three positions for seat when flying - full IFR panel - partial IFR panel for take-off / landing view with instruments situated lower down.
For free-ware it is very good but no doubt some-one will give a better comparison to the payware version.
See below:
Regards Nigel.

I used to be an optimist but with age I am now a grumpy old pessimist.

I don't actually think they've painted any yet, see the 'gaffers' post here...

Just flew it - Its nice - I sort of added some Goblin sounds to it from "elsewhere" Im waiting for Peter Mc to show up - it seems awfully fussy
specifically in pitch and its a little bugger to slow down - It doesnt look bad -not sure about the nose shape but as I said Ill wait to hear - it does have that early jet flat climb out like the Meteor, and does use a lot of throttle
on the approach - I read the comment Peter made about the flaps elsewhere
they dont seem very effective on the model.....Not dissing it - its very nice
and a joy to fly once I had added what i felt was a better sound file - it will stay in the hangar until something better comes along
Makes a nice addition to Alphas Meatbox F8 and Trainer and Ricks Meteor T7

But thats just my opinion

Please note: by "In hand" for UKmil does not mean available now. I am sure that it won't be long before UKmil have repaints available.
