Flown in VR under MSFS 2024 This mod has fantastic flight modeling, system depth and sound but it really falls down in the looks department. The physical model is OK but fairly simple with pictures standing in for complex parts like tubes and rams inside opening parts (flaps, gear doors, etc) plus external textures are flat and low res. The worst part of it all is the cockpit with the majority of it being just flat textures which looks terrible especially in VR. The English cockpit mod on "flightsim dot to" helps somewhat as, while it's still all flat textures, they do seem crisper and more high res than the stock ones. They got the core parts so very right and I still love flying this but I can't recommend it for anybody who isn't a hardcore fan of this type of aircraft.

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)
