Yup Dave did the fantastic ones for FS9 and they have been fully reworked for FSX (i.e. true FSX models) and very good they are too. I have had them for over a week now (perks of being a member over at CBFS) and have had a lot of fun in them.

[doublecool]

What a Beauty...:applause: :woot:

I sure hope the T's are a comin

Thank you for this Gem

and thanks for the HU

If anyone is interested I have added the A2A 3D lights to Dave's Hunters and the aircraft config file data is below. Simply copy and paste the data to replace the stock items but take care to ensure you are using the correct data on the correct model as there are three different lighting versions.

F1-F4, F6, F58, FAA and FGA9 Models

[Pips]

I've been flying DaveG's Hunter for the past week (like Larry a member of CBFS) and have to say it's the most fun I've had in a Jet. They've done a wonderful job! :)

[Roger]

Wow! Thanks for the hu H:ernae:

[JT8D-9A]

Awesome, many thanks! :medals::applause:
EDIT: Fantastic work like always from you. Thanks a lot!

[Tim-HH]

Wow, that's a piece of art...simply breathtaking!!! :jump: Thanks a lot Dave :applause:

[DaveQ]

:jawdrop:This is just amazing!!!!
7 models and 21 schemes, an easy paint kit and loads of load-outs - FOR FREE!!!!! Flies beautifully and easy on fps; what more could anyone want??

Thanks a million Dave - :ernae:

DaveQ
Note to self - DONATE!

[SpaceWeevil]

I happily invest in payware, lots of it so far, and will continue to support payware developers, but make no mistake - this free Hunter is up there with some of the best payware. The motive for doing it can only be that it's a complete labour of love. I hope that everyone who tries it is moved to donate something so we can get more jewels like this in the months & years to come.

[spotlope]

Yeah, baby! I loved this one in FS9. Off to grab it for X now...

[hinch]

Holy moly...

[HenryW]

Its fabulous, thanks!!

Hi,

Thanks to Mr. Garwood and crew, this one is even better then the FS9 offering and soo easy on the frames:wiggle:

[grunau_baby]

:jump: Thanks!

[IanHenry]

I would like to take the opportunity to thank Dave for this excellent airplane and his generosity; it really is a fantastic piece of work and better than a lot of payware on the market!

[Seaking055]

Whohoaaaa thanks for the H'sU Henry, on me way to go get this beaut.

[Arkycharlie]

It flys like a dream and to top it off, it has a wonderful sound set. Fantastic freeware!!!

[gera]

The Classic British Files .com site is probably one of the best sources of British Freeware and others in the net.....Many of the FS9 planes there work very well in FSX and some, like the Hunter, are unique.....I have been a member there only a few months and love the place......:ernae:

[DaveWG]

Glad you guys like it :d
I'm away for the coming week, but I'll upload it here as well when I get back.

[dharris]

Fantastic work, you just keep waiting for the little sign to come up and say that the demo period has expired. Professional quallity all the way. Thanks so much, Dave!!:engel016:

[Dexdoggy]

This plane is FSX art at it's finest! I am amazed at the quality of this plane; in every aspect it excels and performs!

[d0mokun]

Loving it, but I have to pull a leg or two..

.. I thought Hunters were never shiny and never carried empty pylons? :173go1:

[some1]

Great airplane for free. Thanks Dave.


Why this thread isn't sticky yet? :wavey:

[DaveWG]

Loving it, but I have to pull a leg or two..

.. I thought Hunters were never shiny and never carried empty pylons? :173go1:

Well, the pylons can be removed by setting their weight to zero.
At least the wingtips are the right shape...:whistle::icon_lol: :kiss:

[d0mokun]

I never built that part ;)

Definitely cool though. Though I seem to screw the gear and flaps up every time.

[Cazzie]

Thanks Henry for the HU and Dave for the plane. I couldn't wait to get Dave's Hunter back in FS9 when I built my new computer, so that I could fly it for once at real time with no stutters.

Who'd have thought that I would be flying a better DaveG Hunnter in FSX at better fps? I just cannot believe it!

Flew from Barkston-Heath to Texel Island this morning. Sweetness, landed that bugger on Texel's little grass strip! Met an outgoing tube on the way.

As far as jets go, the Hawker Hunter is a ten, there is no way to look at it that isn't pleasing.

Your screenies are incredible!!! _ might I borrow a couple for the front page at "The Pond"??? (www.classicbritishfiles.com)
You have done DaveG an incredible service -- And Im sure there are those besides the folks at CBFS and here who would
like to enjoy his work :woot:

You are quite welcome Lief. You can take them from here, my Photobucket site or I can send you larger screens via email (1900 X 1280) to you mate, just send me a PM with your email addy.

This in the least should be payware, it is as high a quality as most current FSX payware.

Caz

[RyDraiggoch]

Cheers Caz

I have lifted the first two from here, They reproduce beautifully.
I was gobsmacked when I first saw Dave's Hunter for FS9 , now FSX! - this
as you say is way beyond the quality of pay-ware, its an act of love,
and I can say without fear of contradiction that this will make the
list of top ten models for 2009. I'm just looking forward to one of the
two dozen folks who have downloaded the paint kit producing some
quality skins for it.

BTW how do you wish to be credited? Caz ? Cazzie? or a Hunter Lover?

Caz Dalton will do or simply Caz.

[GypsyBaron]

For those that may not have noticed, the "FAA" version is
'acceleration carrier ready'!

And it is quite a challenge to get that bird aboard the Ark Royal! :)

This may be one of the most fun things I've flown in FS!

Must try, if I can set her down in that pasture on Texel, I should be able to snag a wire.

But not now! Uh-Uh! Been to "Racin' 'n' Tastin'" At the Community Market in Danville. A little to inebriated for that now. Haven't drank but two ales (but they were good ales), I just can't even handle my beers anymore. Woe is me! Out of practice is what it is! :weightlifter::ernae:

Caz

[warchild]

that looks sooo sweet.. I have another hunter, but this looks like it's gonna way out do the other one :) .. cant wait :) :)

[Daube]

Wow the single seat Hunter has been converted to native-FSX ? That's really cool, thanks a lot to the author !
I've been flying the FS9 version of the double seat Hunter in my FSX for the past few weeks, can't wait to see it converted too ! :ernae:

[ronvking]

Perhaps someone can help me, just down loaded and flown this aircraft but I can't get the gear up (button moves so the command was accepted) not can I get the radio freqs to change, again getting the hand buit no movement.

I'm an idiot, didn't switch on the generator.

[DaveQ]

A great big thanks again to Dave Garwood for this superb piece of freeware. And the 2048x2048 paint kit is brilliant too - so easy to use. Here's a WIP screenshot of XF382, currently preserved at the Midland Air Museum in the colours of No. 234 Squadron as part of No. 1 Tactical Weapons Unit at RAF Brawdy in the mid-1980's. Although an F6A I've used the FGA9 model file because the aircraft carries a drag chute housing over the tail pipe.

[Panther_99FS]

Okay...
Now I REALLY miss not having a system....Garwood's Hunter was definitely a favorite of mine in FS2004

Job well done...:woot:

[Lateral-G]

I noticed in the zip file there's a folder named "red light". Where does it go or it's contents?

-G-

[DaveQ]

If you go to the Hunter FGA9 texture folder, copy the existing Gauges_LM file and name it something else. Then copy and paste the Gauges_LM file from the 'red lights' folder in the original zip file into the 'texture' folder and over-write the original. Now go fly at night. The instrument lights are now red not white -cooool!! :cool:

Many thanks for this great aircraft.

wan I down load it from ? Can't find it !

Go to http://classicbritishfiles.com and click on Latest Files. There are 2 files to download both about halfway down the list - Hunter_FGA9_FSX and Hunter_extras_FSX. There's also a paintkit in the smae place.

[Lateral-G]

I finally got to fly her for the first time last night....WOW!

Thanks Dave! :ernae: This is a super jet, and one of my faves. Handles beautifully.

Took a flight from Gibraltar and cruised around the western Med/Atlantic coast (you can see the Ark Royal in one of the shots). Even intercepted a tube liner :jump:

Here are a few screenies from the flight:

Ah, clicking on the text works, thanks.

[MHAircraft]

After installing the Hunter plus extra pack, my FSX became a slide show that barely manages 5 fps. Anyone else see this problem?

[spotlope]

It had no effect on my frame rates; still as high as ever. Have you tried taking the Hunter back out to see if the frame rates are restored?

[MHAircraft]

Removing the Hunter and nothing else restored the frame rate. That' just too bad, because this is a masterpiece.

[Lateral-G]

Removing the Hunter and nothing else restored the frame rate. That' just too bad, because this is a masterpiece.

Very odd. No impact on frames for me. I assume you installed as per usual and per the read me?

Have you tired re-installing just the Mk9 version? I installed that one first and flew then added the "extras" package.

-G-

[ryanbatc]

holy crap what a nice bird! Beautiful VC (and for free)!! I've seen payware VC's that look like toys compared to this..... :woot:

[DaveWG]

After installing the Hunter plus extra pack, my FSX became a slide show that barely manages 5 fps. Anyone else see this problem?

There should be no reason for that to happen. The extra pack models don't contain anything unusual. Are you running SP2?

Nice repaint :applause: The panel should be accurate for that, as that's the aircraft is was modelled from.


BTW, the 2-seaters are undergoing conversion as we speak. Exterior is about done, just needs paint jobs, the VC has only just been started, but it shouldn't take too long.

[MHAircraft]

There should be no reason for that to happen. The extra pack models don't contain anything unusual. Are you running SP2?

I have FSX-A. Anything I should be aware of? Thanks!

[ryanbatc]

Is there any "dome" type lighting at night? I'm getting the instrument backlighting, but no overall light in the cockpit. Did these things fly at night?

Dave, Thanks for the awesome gift. :ernae:

[Dexdoggy]

I'm kind of sweet on the red paint in the extras pack; well they DO go faster when they are painted red! This really is an awesome jet, and I love the red optional backlighting! :ernae:

Is that in the extra pack? I made a post above commenting that imho the night lights are too dim, and there's no dome-style lighting...

I have yet to download the xtra pack

I had the same issue, can't find an Avionics switch. I assigned a key to switch Avionics On/Off, and this fixed all those issues! If anyone knows if there is a switch, let us know! :faint:
