$60 US !!??!!
Too pricey for me.

[Taco]

Ditto for me!:dizzy:

[thunderstreak]

Looks amazing but at $75 US ($99 Canadian) with the expansion pack, way too expensive for me.
I'll wait for a sale! :dizzy:

[jim]

Me Too. Wonder who will be the first to break 100 bucks?

[joneseric]

Me Too. Wonder who will be the first to break 100 bucks?
I worked on the Vulcan many years ago and have over 150hrs on her. This simulation is fantastic. I can remember siting in the left hand seat and pulling the fuel panel up, the detail is exact. The smell is indescribeable. You can smell the screenshots! For me a work of this quality is worth every penny.

Rgds Eric

[Priller]

50€ for the base pack alone... You can buy a whole flightsim for that money...

Priller

[JamieC]

Think I'll have to wait for a sale before I buy it, I appreciate the work that goes into making them but the price does seem a little steep.

[rgatkinson]

I agree with you guys in general. Yes, it's a lot of money but looking at those screenshots it's obvious that a lot of effort and attention to detail has gone into the development of this add-on. If the flight systems and flight dynamics are as accurate as the modelling and texturing then I think the price is about right. I think we flight simmers expect too much for too little most of the time. If I had the money I'd gladly pay it but I think I'll wait to see if it appears in a sale probably sometime later in 2019. I can wait.

Taff

[hairyspin]

Phwoarrrrr! That VC is exceptional! I still remember the first sight of XH558 approaching Leuchars from the SE and how alien she looked. Is it too much to ask JF if they'll fit her out with lasers and death rays like I almost expected the real thing to deploy when in range?

Quality will out! :jump:

[gary20]

I dont deny the quality, it is exceptional and I wanted this one from the first notification so had signed up for email notification, but flight simming is for fun and entertainment to me.
If prices dont return to normal for addons then I cant continue with it.
I don't deny the work in creating it, but it is just an addon.

[Roger]

Looks great and the price is equivalent to a Chinese meal for two which only lasts for a few hours.

[speedy70]

OH please give up.

If you cannot afford it tough but do not knock the product just cos you aint got the cash.

It is suberb and well worth the money.

Cheers Chris

[Panther_99FS]

Cold War Icon very well reproduced!

[delta_lima]

I am not knocking the product. I agree it is excellent and said as much.
I am complaining about the excessive pricing of some addons, including, in my opinion, this one.

I just looked up your profile on SOH.
It says under the friends tab "
speedy70 has not made any friends yet" ….
I can see why ...


Pretty hilarious coming from a guy who has just as many "friends". Who even uses that idiotic metric for evaluating anything meaningful, most especially someone's character?

Here's a clue, don't obfuscate with a cheap shot at another member when the fact is that you're unable or unwilling to pay for a product that operates within the confines of a consumer-driven market. No one cares what addon you can or won't afford any more than no one cares that last year I really wanted a new Subaru WRX but my budget called instead for a new VW Jetta.

For my part, I'm still evaluating a potential transition to P3D, so until I solidify the sim platform, I'm not buying any more addons. But when the time comes, I have no doubt this will be a purchase for me, as Cold War iron is squarely in my wheelhouse of interests. Measured on a $/hours-flown basis, a good quality "study sim" addon that gets a few hundred hours or more of use always ends up a positive purchase for those honest enough with their expectations of how much they'll use it.

I'm passing on it at present for strategic sim decision / timing reasons, but not because I believe it's not worth it to hardcore "Tin Triangle" fans.

gary20,

[strykerpsg]

Fantastic release indeed Just Flight. My Cold War hangar is filling nicely and was really missing the former Iris/Milviz Vulcan. Thank you for also releasing another superb cross platform gem. Will sit nicely next to my Lightnings.

Regarding price, is a bit high but the trend in most things related to this hobby in general are rising too. As much as we would all love to see the lower price points, I suspect this is becoming a lesser reality if one truly wants a more in depth sim. I am ok in supporting something as well modeled as this piece of virtual machinery.

@ Delta_lima, good reply Sir.

Was really hoping for a Black Friday release, but with the C-119 and E-2/C-2 out last week I'm glad it didn't! I know what I'm getting this weekend though!

[DaleRFU]

Whilst some may find it a tad expensive others will not, it's all about personal perspective on what you are interested in. For my two cents worth, it is worth the price they have set. Truly quality add-on. I can only imagine what it would be like in VR.

[gary20]

gary20,

There is no need for a remark like yours about Chris.

Cees

Yes, it was out of order.
I've deleted it and offer my apologies.

[dmaloof]

pricy though;would have to wait for a sale/:jump:

[b52bob]

Pricing is a problem for many of us. The products are superb but $$$ getting out of hand.

i remember when $50 was extraordinary for an add on. Now, I just don’t buy anymore. I miss the new stuff.

P.S. I have never spent $60 on a Chinese meal ever.

[dvj]

Looks like an absolutely top shelf product. Ok, so if it were $39 folks would be all over it. So it seems there is a $20 pain threshold to overcome. (equal to 4 rotisserie chickens at Costco, or my income tax break from the Donald) That's the extra value cost for something quite unique. So get out there and buy it people. I want to see screen shots and lots of them. BTW, have you seen the prices for add on spaceships in Star Citizen? Some cost as much as a car. Screen shots people. Show me screenshots. And good ones too. Now off for some General Chicken and pork fried rice.

[heywooood]

we can probably agree that money and affordability have different meanings to different people...

This model looks amazing and the subject is without question one of the most iconic air frames ever created -

My criteria is detail and functionality. If an aircraft I want captures the prototype well AND delivers low impact on my hardware I will buy it eventually.

When it comes to the money I try to remember the time and effort it obviously takes to make a decent product for this flight sim. If a developer charges at a certain level one expects a certain quality.
If it is lacking and there is no attempt on the part of the developer to rectify that - or that is a consistent complaint against a particular developer, they wont stay in business.

We can say these things without insulting each other...some day

[Priller]

I agree, it is a great looking addon. And I can afford it. But when the price of an addon is higher than that of a whole sim, there is a problem.

Priller

[YoYo]

Im sure, the model is very nice done and this complexity costs a lot of time and money.
Maybe Just Flight Team could think about demo version also to "try before buy" (like few his addons)? It would be a bit of a compromise. Just idea.

Regards, :wavey:

I love big delta :ernaehrung004:.

[Daube]

For that price, what does this plane brings, in terms of features ?
Because yes, the model looks cool, ok.
But what else ?
Does it use TacPack, coupled with precise weapon systems ?
I hope it's not another JF Tornado...

I agree, it is a great looking addon. And I can afford it. But when the price of an addon is higher than that of a whole sim, there is a problem.

Priller

I agree - my threshold is somewhere around $30 so I love a good sale.
I would also say that prices like the one for this model make me appreciate the people who create really amazing pieces available as freeware !!

A while back I stopped buying planes and helo's for flight sim and focused more on the terrain and environmental programs. I have more aircraft parked on storage drives
than 'in use' as it is - and what good is a terrific airplane if all you have to fly over is the gawd awful place mat scenery?

Priller

The price of an addon being superior to the price of the sim is not a problem at all, provided the addon includes enough things to justify that price. In mind I have the PMDG or FLabs airliners, or the F-18 VRS with the TacPack for example.
But for a plane that is simply pretty, that's another story.

According to the description posted above, this aircraft has nothing special beside a very good 3D modelling and custom sounds.
I might buy it when some sales happen in future. I won't buy it at that price.

[Johnpalmer1994]

I have bought the vulcan myself and was unsure if it could live up to the price tag. I can honestly say it is an amazing addon and will be regular flyer for me. For someone that has been involved in the restoration of XL426 which has been featured it amazes me to see the level of detail that they have gone to like including the names of the volunteers who have worked on XL426 that have passed away

[MarkH]

when the price of an addon is higher than that of a whole sim, there is a problem.

Sorry, but that's a category error.

[Jafo]

I shall rush off and buy it....like any consumer product.....demand matching price.....if you want it you will have it.
If that F105 Thud that's in the works ever sees light of day.....and is the same quality of work as this...I'd pay TEN TIMES AS MUCH for it.....yes, fair-dinkum, no BS....;)

[greenie]

What a magnificent job . Well done !

I know this question belongs over at the Just Flight forum, but this place is easier to navigate thru ..... and one won't have to wait long for an answer :)

Just bought this beauty for the hanger and heck if I can find the "panel" that reads Add-ons Just Flight Vulcan - Panel State "cold and dark" ... "ready for takeoff" etc... this menu allows you to select panel states and various options. The directions states "When the Vulcan is loaded in P3D or FSX a new entry will appear in the "addons menu called Just Flight Vulcan ?? ... not seeing it ??

Cheers

[Priller]

I don't have the model myself, but usually You'll find something in the programs menu of windows.

Did you try to cycle the different ctrl+x (whereby x is a figure)? Normally that brings up different menus.

Either way Dave, the five of you in that cockpit I was in today would have to be very good mates. It was incredibly cramped and quite claustrophobic with its all black interior and mountains of electronics and cabling and this and that. Imagine sitting shoulder touching shoulder in all your flight gear with the bulkhead inches away and just the glow from radar, nav and bomb sights.

Awesome.

Don't forget that the three guys in the rear weren't blessed with ejector seats. They had to get out through the hole in the floor -- and if you were doing a low-level exercise.....

..... anybody finding this Delta a handful when landing !?! No matter how hard one try's to keep the nose pointed at the runway, I'm finding that it wants to yaw big time. Have read the manual ... what am I missing ?? Noticed on another forum a fellow simmer was having the same issues.

Cheers

Yes, it is a handful and so it should be, but a lot of the problem is likely just that it is 'different'! The aircraft has large control surfaces which are right at the back of the aircraft, it suffers with a large amount of adverse aileron yaw to the point where, at lower (and particularly circuit) speeds, you need to lead with the rudder. Push the rudder gently until the nose starts going in the direction you want and follow up then with the elevons in the roll sense. It may seem unusual and certainly not instinctive, but I have been in discussion with four Vulcan pilots (including a QFI) and they have been very specific in their description of the effect. It was also "a constant struggle to keep the rudder trimmed precisely", so you really need to be thinking rudder a lot more throughout than necessarily you would with other large jets.

Which other forum was this mentioned on? I'd rather make people aware than have them get frustrated with the odd handling!
Cheers,
Paul.

[joneseric]

As a young airman in the late seventies and early eighties I had the oppuntunity to fly in the Vulcan. I was sat on the seventh seat, next to hatch, pilots on top. Nav Rad, Plot and AEO in the back and the crew chief in the sixth. In those days you didn’t quite buckle up as you should and there was not ban on electronics, mind you we didn’t have any! I would watch the pilots working, they worked hard on the landing phase, used a lot of rudder and we’re constantly moving the joystick while heads up. The aircraft would gently yaw and pitch all the way to the flare, gently but constant. I am a pilot in real-life, albeit light aircraft, but my goodness I would love to flown her.

This simulation is superb, the immersion is brilliant. I am using VR and gloves, and the wow factor is of the scale, perhaps becuse it beings back so many memories.

Happy days

[mal998]

According to the Pilot's Notes for the Vulcan B. Mk. 1A landings are described as straight forward with no mention of the aircraft wanting to yaw. Same can be said of the landing description from the Vulcan's Aircrew Manual. Without messing with the aircraft.cfg and airfile you might have a look at turning down the rudder response in the game.

If you'd like PM me and we'll have a look at possible remedies.

[joneseric]

Given that this simulation is for the Vulcan B Mk2 and not the B Mk 1A, then there may well be a difference in the handling characteristics in the approach phase. The B MK 2 is significantly heavier with a greater wing area and more the or less the the same fin and fuselage. The Pilots Notes for the B Mk2, AP101B-1902-15 state that for high AUW, “directional control is poor in the approach configuration”. Moreover the pilots notes advice to limit bank angles to 15 degrees during the final approach. I am flying the circuit pattern as I get used to simulation and it seems to behave in the manner described in the Pilots Notes.

Just my experience so far, I am not a Vulcan pilot

Rgds

[delta558]

According to the Pilot's Notes for the Vulcan B. Mk. 1A landings are described as straight forward with no mention of the aircraft wanting to yaw.




The B1/B1A had conventional elevators and ailerons whereas the B2 had elevons, it also had a shorter wingspan and did not suffer as much from the adverse yaw. Totally different to the B2.

The following video shows experienced pilots flying the approach in the B2 and as you will see there is still a fair bit of yawing - it's one of the videos from the cockpit of XH558 (of which there are many) which were referred to frequently through the fde creation alongside discussion with the pilots.

Lots of rudder. That's a big BIG wing you're flapping about.

Get things lined up early.

Make sure on Finals you've only got to correct for tiny aberrations to drift and height. Any greater corrections will be summarily spat out by the flying Giant Bat with the Rollers engines. :very_drunk:

[Martyn]

Glad to see that everyone is enjoying the Vulcan :encouragement:

It's been such a busy few months that I've not had time to respond on here personally like I usually would, but just a quick post to say that we've now updated the product details on our website to better reflect the level of functionality included in this aircraft (it was a bit sparse before). We have continued to add more functionality since release and will add more over the coming weeks (hopefully including PBR materials for P3D v4.4). We will also make a demo available.

Regarding pricing, it's a topic that we could write pages on but fundamentally it comes down to us needing to make a sufficient ROI on the product to make it worthwhile and to ultimately ensure our survival. I'm sure you can appreciate that the Vulcan is a complex aircraft and it took over a year to develop the product. Our pricing reflects that level of work, which was greater than one of our GA aircraft (typically £28) but no doubt much less than something like a PMDG 777. We think it's a fair price given the level of functionality, detail and man hours invested in it, but whether you consider it value for money is of course a matter of personal taste. I'd happily pay £60 for a fully functional Nimrod MR2 (unlikely to ever happen though!) but wouldn't be interesting in the best-ever helicopter even if it cost £15. We each have our own thresholds based on our interests/standards/means.

Thanks

[Aircanuck]

Just Flight has come out with version 1.03 with a bug or two to boot, lets call this work in progress ... just hope they tweak the "non exhaust" effect soon.

PS - have had one or two marginal landings with this ole girl since my last posting ... practice , practice !?@$!

Ok dumb question, how do you close the flap at the back behind the rudder?

For the life of me I can't find how to close it :banghead:

The latest update fixes the issue with the brake parachute door. One danger of constantly adding new functionality is the risk of breaking existing functionality, as happened in this case.

https://support.justflight.com/support/solutions/articles/17000082190-avro-vulcan-b-mk-2-changelog




Manual updated to reflect changes since release
Livery textures mismatch - fixed
External model options not initialising correctly when product installed outside of Prepar3D directory - fixed
External model shadow issue when viewed from cockpit - fixed
All eight elevon surfaces are now independently animated
PFC failures now affect control sensitivity
Alternator failure lamp logic fixed
Uncommanded brake parachute door opening above 170 KIAS - fixed
Radio altimeter OFF flag logic fixed
Fuel system logic fixes



Apart from our on-going work to add PBR materials, the vast majority of extra functionality has now been added and the product page and manual have been updated accordingly.

Thanks
Martyn

If it wore 'Stars and Bars' there would be no quibbles re the cost.
An outstanding rendition of an outstanding Cold War aircraft, and one which I find immensely enjoyable, even if it ended up the equivalent of A$100+.
When do we get a Victor?

Curious if Just flight is going to address the disappearance of the exhaust smoke on a future update, anybody got some intel ?
