VIRTAVIA - HP HAMPDEN FOR MSFS

VIRTAVIA - HP HAMPDEN FOR MSFS

A very good effort and a step in the right direction for Virtavia. A little overpriced for the quality level but gets bonus points for being both somewhat unusual and an under-represented type in sims. The Good: The cockpit is fantastic in VR both model and texture wise. Even better at night. Engine sounds are great, not sure how authentic to Bristol Pegasus the are but they sound right The flight model feels right, again hard to know how authentic it is since there hasn't been any airworthy Hampden's for decades and they don't show up as flyable in many sims. The Bad: The liveries are high res and have some good weathering effects but also have that flat FSX look to them. Some of the exterior modelling is a bit simple or seems to be missing bits. Examples are the cowl flaps and main gear struts. The Ugly: The interior outside of the cockpit. The other crew stations use some very low res textures on things like the radio. The crew models aren't great either. Overall I'm happy with my purchase and thoroughly enjoy flying it. My gripes are pretty minor and can be solved with an update or two (in fact there's already 3rd party skins on flightsim.to that fix one issue)

Why Piracy Hurts Everyone

Piracy undermines the dedication and creativity of developers. When you download or distribute pirated add-ons, it impacts the creators' ability to continue producing high-quality content. This affects the entire community by reducing the availability of new features and updates.

Consequences of Piracy

  • Legal Risks: Engaging in piracy can lead to severe legal consequences, including fines and prosecution.
  • Security Threats: Pirated software often carries malware, risking your personal data and system security.
  • Lack of Support: Unauthorized copies do not receive official support or updates, leading to potential issues and vulnerabilities.

How You Can Help

  1. Purchase Legitimately: Always buy add-ons from authorized sellers like SimMarket to ensure you receive authentic products.
  2. Report Piracy: If you encounter pirated add-ons, report them to the authorities or the original creators.
  3. Educate Others: Spread awareness about the negative impacts of piracy and encourage others to support developers by purchasing legitimate copies.
