SWISSMILSIM - DE HAVILLAND VAMPIRE DH-100 MSFS

SWISSMILSIM - DE HAVILLAND VAMPIRE DH-100 MSFS

Obviously a labour of love for the development team. Systems are well modelled and the plane flies well. It is an early jet and while it has very pleasant handling characteristics, you need to read the documentation as the engine requires careful handling or you'll end up belching flames and smoke - though this can often be recovered with the extinguisher! External model is good and reflects the small aircraft well. Sounds are good. Cockpit is effective and realistic - though with one or two points where the textures are a bit flat. The other challenge with the cockpits is the mix of languages on the instruments and the use of metric measurement. This accurately reflects the Swiss aircraft it is based on. If you want a pleasant early jet and are happy to learn its (few) challenges, then this is a rewarding package that you will like. Overall, highly recommended. In the future... A tweak or two to the cockpit would be nice. As most of the hard work is done, it would be great to have a RAF FB.6 with English instrumentation.
