You mean you flew one in real life? That brings up 2 questions… how old are ypu? :wink: And how did it compare?

I’d love to pick your brains if you flew them in service.

Awesome Jan :+1:

As I said, well over 50 years ago so you can guess how ancient I am ! As to Dave’s Hunter, I initially trained on the Gnat with a modern (for that time) ergonomically designed cockpit - I then went to the Hunter and found an old fashioned well worn cockpit that seemed to be put together randomly. And this is what Dave has reproduced - within the,limits of it’s FS9/FSX heritage, I feel at home! Even with no tweaking, the controls feel fine and it’s very easy to fly - although you could spend some time on the elevator and rudder feel if that was your thing. Same with performance - I have no idea if the power Accel from idle to full power on take off is exactly accurate etc etc but it feels ok to me. In all, the Hunter was a great fighter and fun to fly and that is how to treat this bit of software - enjoy it

Downloaded both liveries. Thanks JK

Is the aircraft displayed as a “Hunt” in FS?

We tried everything, but ATC won’t say “ HUNTER” We think its one of the blacklisted words. We tried HUNT and HUNTER, but ATC wont say it.

Ahh, thx, I was just wondering what was suddenly thundering past me in the Mach Loop.
I love FS2020 for its funny interpretations.

edit - Have it loaded now.
Thanks!

The addition of this aircraft has caused far more than a little tear for me and I’m very grateful to Dave for providing us with such a splendid addition.
In 1966 ( yes that long ago) I was drafted to RNAS Lossiemouth 764 sqaudron. GA11 PR11 and T8s.
I was a lowly radio mechanic but it was encouraged that any of the maintenance ratings wanted a flight it was usually granted. The first time I ever flew in any aeroplane was a Hunter T8 (I think it was 687). Only half an hour duration but what would that cost today even if you could get a flight.
Sadly the same aircraft flown by Lt McMilllan (again along time ago) had a flame out over the Moray Firth and he and his colleague fortunately ejected safely. I was off duty at the time but when I got on the line a couple of hours later the atmosphere was extremely sombre with the A700 in the safe.
Looking inside that cockpit everything is still recognisable and I can nearly find things. Can’t find the Tacan sharksfin though that I split my head open on.

Really fun plane!

Has anyone noticed the slight “pulsing” of your view in and out when in cockpit view? It’s the type of pulsing you would see when increasing or decreasing throttle (to give you the perception of acceleration changes) but it seems to happen all the time when at a constant throttle.

Here’s a double rainbow :slight_smile:

Not something I’ve noticed and I’ve about 30 hours in it.

Is this in VR or Multiplayer or just regular flying?

Flying straight and level, regular flying. I have a short video I just recorded if there’s a good way to share it. It’s subtle, but noticeable to me. Easiest to notice when looking at towards the edges of the screen around the cockpit.

Maybe over-exaggerated wind effect?

I’m not sure, I’ll have a look tonight when I get the kids to bed. I’m not much help with the videos I’m afraid.

It’s not something I’ve noticed. Have you checked your bindings?
