DH Vampire FB 5 for FSX acceleration (freeware)

**Scandinavian** · January 22nd, 2014, 02:26

Best news of the day, seeing those RNoAF repaints Jens-Ole!

Looking forward to finally flying with a RNoAF colored Vampire in fsx.

An adversary for the Israeli Gloster Meteor FR9!

**JensOle** · January 22nd, 2014, 06:24

Looking good!

A small detail observation for the panel lines; the top engine cover followed the shape of the wing (and not straight out as in the paintkit). The same goes for the cover latches which got a staggered layout because of the wing contour.

Gorgeous

Don't suppose there's a trainer version in the works anywhere?

**JensOle** · January 22nd, 2014, 06:44

The old Alphasim T.11 is still quite nice.

**flyinggoldfish** · January 22nd, 2014, 07:37

True, true... Any idea how it performs in FSX?

Nice, Zsolt.

I assume these are available for immediate download somewhere??

It works very well for me in Acceleration, I needed to adjust the cfg position figures for the exhaust smoke but everything else is OK for me.

Thanks for that, JensOle! I have now revised my paintkit accordingly and modified the Egyptian paint. I guess I need to revisit all my other paints which seem to have disappeared from BritSim. I wonder if Zsolt will revise his paints also.

If available the appropriate paintkit

Very small changes to the paintkit Zsolt. If JensOle and I can do it I am sure someone of your ability can do the same!

Any chance for a version without the Suez campaign stripes (yellow/black)? I just love that Venom ....

The Norwegian Vampires have been uploaded, enjoy!

I have had the privilege of flying the Vampire for real several times, and I hope it is ok to post some real world Vampire shots as well.
2-ship out of Rygge AB for some acro flying over the Oslo fjord, summer 2013.

Both are former swiss birds (as most of the Vampire/venoms flying today); LN-DHZ is a T.55/T.11 and LN-DHY is a F.6. Both had Finish AF roundels painted on stickers for an airshow in Finland, they were removed before the trip to Duxford last summer.

Nice pics Jens-Ole, thanks for sharing them with us. That flight had to be a lot of fun!

***noddy*** · January 26th, 2014, 12:16

You lucky devil.

**flyinggoldfish** · January 26th, 2014, 12:48

I hope you don't take this the wrong way Jens, buy I hate you so much right now...

Fantastic photos of arguably the most elegant jet fighter ever...

hehe... Something special when you straps yourself into the ejection seat of the old lady, sort of like connection with aviation history. The cockpit of the T.55 is very cramped (I seem to remember it was build on the same dimensions as the mosquito and it is a tight fit for 2 MB seats), not to mention the manual ejection procedure. No automatic canopy removal, seat separation or chute opening after ejection. But it feels great in the air, the controls are very harmonic and responsive and it is a joy to fly. The same cannot be said when it is in dirty configuration with everything down... then it turns into a beast..lol. Definitely a lot more work in real life than in FS to land it.

Does anyone remember how to get the external fuel tanks to show on Rob Richardson's EXCELENT Vampires?

Thanks,

Kent

Stores switches - right hand side under canopy rail. DL

***ColoKent*** · September 23rd, 2014, 20:52

DL - I tried that initially (it works on the Venom), but it only toggles between rockets and bombs and clean on the Vamp. And I've tried filling the external tanks under aircraft fuel - nope, didn't work either. I'm stumped and must be missing something...
