This second achievement of our team, after the Morane D-3801, represents the continuation of our ambition to reconstitute the historical activity of the Swiss military pilot, this time from the 1950s to the 1960s with the first jet of the Air Forces: the De Havilland Vampire DH-100, of which 4 Mk-I and then 75 MK-VI were purchased in England and 100 built under licence and which has covered the Swiss sky for 45 years and trained hundreds of pilots. Originally acquired as a fighter aircraft, it was used until 1970 as a fighter and ground attack aircraft and was then as a training and target aircraft for the Air Defence. The last military flights took place at the end of 1990, many Vampire still fly in various countries.
Reconstructed with great care, both in terms of appearance and performance, a fully functional cockpit, complete operational armament, as well as a NAFU and GCA operational blind flight system. The extension includes very realistic missions. Two versions are available, from 1960, and 1968 with a long nose.
It is particularly well suited for the use of VR system.
In addition, the Ulrichen airfield (LSMC) in the Upper Valais has been faithfully reconstructed in its 1960 condition and makes the DH-100 Vampire's engagement particularly interesting. Download from : Sceneries downloads – SwissMilSim.
A very complete manual (113 pages) in French, German and English (depending on the language chosen at the time of installation) is included in the SMS-PMS 02/Docs folder or can be downloaded free of charge from our website : Manual downloads – SwissMilSim
Detail of the content:
- Very realistic sound of all start-up and flight phases, including lowering the level when the canopy is closed
- Hypoxia in the event of non-engagement of the cabin pressurization or pilot oxygen supply
- Pressurized cabin
- Effect of positive and negative "g"s
- Very realistic rear mirror (in P3DV4 version)
- Perfect adaptation of TacPack's armament capabilities
- IFR flight and navigation equipment corresponding to the conditions at the time, including a full radar approach to two airfields.
- 3 cockpit lighting systems with dimmers
- Intermittent position lights and two-position landing light
- 4 very realistic missions, including two geographical flights in the Valais Alps (one with a stopover), a firing mission for the 3 weapons and a flight in formation mission
Prerequisites:
Switzerland Professional X or P3D is recommended to fully appreciate this aircraft in its natural environment of the time.
The Payerne and Dübendorf airfields in an ad hoc version are necessary to benefit from the possibilities of IFR flight and radar approach (GCA), shooting training places are also available, in particular the one in Bière which is necessary for one of the missions. All these scenes are available for free by downloading from our website.
