Classic British Flight Sim

Just noticed this at the X-Plane.org store. The VC has had a lot of work done on it since FSX, and is a huge improvement. The external model looks about the same, I think, with those silly prop spinners. The price tag is a little high, but if I was going to stick with XP, I would give it some consideration.

Nigel H-J , right up your street I would have thought. Make sure you have a look at the extra screenshots.

Hi Paul and very many thanks for the HU. Must say it looks extremely good!!

Cockpit seems to be very well done although I have never seen the cockpit layout of a Hampton before.

Have spent a lot in the way of aircraft just lately and with X-Plane 12 coming out some-time next year I'm afraid I will hold off for the time being on buying anything new.

Laminar have stated that X-plane 12 with be backward compatible but really want to wait and be sure it is!

Regards
Nigel.

Here's a picture of the old FSX/P3D VC which was about average for Virtavia, as you can see. The Hampden exterior model was pretty good, and deserved a much better VC right from the start, so well done to all involved with the new one.



EDIT: Just looking at the new VC below, I'm wondering if Mike at Flight Replicas had something to do with it.

The updated VC looks stunning, as does the external view of the cockpit/nose. The prop spinner looks odd, but looking at images online it didn't go back as far as to shroud the base of the blades.

I saw this too, although like Nigel, I'm waiting for XP12 now.

I've had a look at some photos, and you're absolutely right - they don't extend as far back as you would expect them too.
