In this video, we take a look at Dave Garwood's Hawker Hunter, available for free within Microsoft Flight Simulator (MSFS). We'll also be demonstrating FlightControlReplay's "Ghost" functionality.
We'll be taking the F6 around the Snowdonia National Park, departing and arriving from RAF Valley (EGOV).

Hello everyone,
It just so happens, that Touching Cloud have also very recently added similar (wingman) functionality to their “Airshow Assistant” tool. Airshow Assistant is not only cheaper but, (I believe) also available on the Xbox. I may carry out a similar flight and compare the functionality of AA in a later video. Either way, just be aware that the other option exists : )
Cheers!
Far as I can tell, Airshow assistant appears to be free from Touching Clouds website. For PC only of course. I've had FCR since your Phantom video, but Airshow Assistant seems easier to use for the wingman feature. May have to try it!
The wingmen in Airshow assistant are a huge step in the right direction, currently they aren't perfect, but it is extremely promising and has great potential.
Please! Take care of jet exhusts and wingtip vortices! Remember, jets are very sensible to combustion exhaust gases to be ingested and wingtip vortices djsturbed air can twist the best of aircraft in mid-air. And even though none of these two features are simulated in MSFS, that doesn't mean they don't exist in real life! Specially in tight formation flights.
GREAT flight Captain. Beautiful scenery and the fact that the wingman moves around makes it much more immersive. Thanks for bringing us along! !! !!!
Thanks very much, Mark!
Of course, as soon as I released this video, Airshow Assistant was also released (which is arguably a much better program for this sort of thing) haha. Still, I’m really glad you enjoyed the flight.
Thanks as always! : )
Love it as always
Cheers, Kaden! : )
Brilliant video, really enjoyed that thanks 👍
Thanks very much Chris, I’m really glad you enjoyed it!
Much appreciated and all the best : )
Glad to see the Hunter getting some love. This whole era of British aviation is so wild and would love to see more of it in the sim. We need a Victor and a Sea Vixen.
and EE Lightning !
100% agree, NTF! I’m hoping Just Flight will start to flesh out this niche, as they have previously done a Lightning, Canberra, Nimrod etc (and of course, recently released their superb Vulcan). FlyingIron are currently working on a more detailed Hunter (which is likely to be excellent). I’ll take most aircraft from this era, especially if they’re British haha!
Cheers, all the best : )
@@IntotheBlueSimulations Lightning and Nimrod are both great ideas. I don't know why I didn't think of the Canberra! Always been a favorite of mine!
Always a good day when ITB drops a new video
@@earl_gray well that's true 😂
Read that as MSFS drops a one terabyte update !
Haha. Thanks very much Haden! I do hope you enjoyed it : )
All the best!
I love this aircraft well done to Dave. I like it almost as much as the payware Hawk. Sadly I have never been able to get FLight Replay to work despite some remote investigation by its developer - but he seems to have given up on trying to help me.
I’m glad you’ve been enjoying the Hunter, Richard. Sorry to hear about FCR - not ideal. Have you come across / given “Airshow Assistant” a go? It’s completely free on PC and offers some excellent / similar functionality (I’ve just covered the addon in my most recent video).
I hope that helps a little. Happy flying and all the best! : )
@@IntotheBlueSimulations Thank you for the tip regarding airshow assistant I will investigate it further. Happy simulating.
My pleasure! Cheers : )
Wonderful Sim.. Superb detail & dynamics.. Beautifully flown & great comms as ever.. Thanks.. 👍👋👏👏
Thank you very much indeed, Adam!
Very kind of you to say and I’m really glad you enjoyed the video! Thanks for watching and all the best : )
The Hunter is amazing. One of the greatest planes ever designed. I definitely gonna try the wingman experience. Looks like fun. Tnx again for a great vid
Indeed, Dennis; who couldn’t love the Hunter (and most British aircraft from this era) haha!
If it’s not too late, perhaps check out “Airshow Assistant” also. The program offers similar (arguably better) functionality to Flight Control Replay but, is completely free (on PC)!
I hope that helps. My pleasure and all the best! : )
Wish there was more relative movement between the two aircraft to make it more realistic. With the wingman exactly matching pitch and roll movements of the primary aircraft it just seems really fake but still a fun mod.
Hi Craig,
There is a little bit of relative movement, which hopefully you can make out from the internal shots. I had to use a different method to record the external shots (still using FCR), hence the 1:1 movement. “Airshow Assistant” is another tool that has just released ; it offers similar functionality, is free and the behaviour of the wingman / wingmen is a little bit more realistic (I’ve just featured the addon in my most recent video).
Cheers and all the best! : )
amazing flight simulator
Can he charge like £2 so it can come to the Xbox??
Yes please!!!!
Msfs does not handout developer status anymore. Only current developers allowed on the marketplace 😢
Xbox has something similar to try airshow assistant
@@huistv2005 yet msscenery is allowed? Why can't they drop them and pick up an actually decent developer instead
Hi JumpJet,
As per Richard’s comment, check out “Airshow Assistant” (if you have yet to do so) - I will have a video out on that at some point also : )
Cheers!
Great to see you enjoying the Hunter! Thanks for all the comments, and thanks for the HU on the Touching Cloud Airshow Assistant.
Very much so, David (as I mentioned during the video, I have always enjoyed your work)! Thank you very much for all of your efforts!
My pleasure and all the best to you : )
How do you get the other plane flying formation? 🤔
He is using an app called Flight Control Replay. It's both in the description and he mentions it in the video 😉
@@ysteinRnning Oops, too quick on the draw there. Thanks 👍
Another Spelndid review Thank You
Cheers, Mike! You’re most welcome : )
SATCO wants you in his office for that little stunt over Mona!
Haha! Nothing that a little drink in the Officers Mess can’t smooth over, I would hope, John XD
@IntoTheBlueSimulations Where did you get the Sound Mod for the Aircraft?
Hi Makeshift,
I’m afraid, the sounds were all added in edit- I didn’t create a soundset per se (so I haven’t got any files I can share etc).
I hope that clarifies things. All the best : )
@IntotheBlueSimulations Not a problem, The Aircraft is wonderful to fly, in particular the T.7 Twin Seater Variant. But the soundpack is rather lackluster.
Dave did a great job on this. I fly ir regularly in the RSAF texture as I used to watch the real things training at RSAF Tengah in the 70's.. I just wish we had a decent Tengah to fly from. I was there not too long ago and lets say the security there has been stepped up dramatically.
My dad flew Hawker Hunters in the Rhodesian Air Force :) Nice to see them in MSFS
We need a hunter for the xbox
Hi EB,
I believe FlyingIron are working on a Hunter so, that ought to be pretty great (and available on both platforms : )
All the best!
Last night, I did a quick flight with the Milviz FG-1D Corsair from Llanbedr Airport through Snowdonia. Beautiful area! Thank you for the suggestion!
I’m glad you enjoyed the flight, James! My pleasure and all the best to you : )
Another brilliant video. Superb plane, superb flight, superb scenery. One of your best, made better by having a wingman. I love the area around there & really enjoy plane spotting around Valley. How I wish i could do that for real. I'm going to be keeping an eye out for a pair of Hunters now, when I'm down there in a few months!
Thanks very much AS, I’m really glad you enjoyed the flight to such a degree (I always enjoy recording these sorts of things as, like you, I wish I could give it a go for real haha)! I guess FlyingIron’s upcoming Hunter, will allow me to get one step closer at least : P
Cheers again and happy flying! : )
Good job
Thanks very much MRN, I’m glad you enjoyed the flight! : )
the pipper still seems mighty odd.. head-up displays are not MSFS strong side.
The gunsight is actually showing what it should with guns selected and the pips show the radar ranging zone at whatever range in yards has been selected. Head up displays came a long time after the Hunter first flew - this display is pure gunsight tech. I only know as I am an ex-RAF Hunter groundcrew myself.
Of note, if this Sim version had all the options, the display changes to graticule lines for rocket firing or also bomb release aiming.
True MZ; such animations are not a strong point of MSFS. That being said, things are much improved as compared with how they were when the sim launched and I can certainly forgive such details on a freeware aircraft ; )
All the best!
Awesome vid! I can tell you had fun.
Thanks very much, Richard! I’m glad you enjoyed the flight (as indeed, I certainly did haha). Cheers for watching : )
Cool....
That was fun! Thanks.
I’m glad you enjoyed it, Reason! My pleasure! Thanks very much for watching and all the best : )
Best freeware plane in the sim!
Tested... You dont Need Xbox App for Flight Simulator! Disabled an uninstalled Xbox services! Multiplayer still works!👍👍
Great vid, only comment I have is it would have been UHF primary radio for the RAF and not VHF. Minor rubbish I know but attention to detail in that as you did in all else.
Hello Stuart,
Thanks very much, I’m glad you enjoyed the flight!
I have no doubt you’re correct but, interestingly, the checklist I was using did specifically state “VHF”. I have no idea where the checklist originally came from though - whether it’s entirely fictional, or perhaps based on a retrofitted Hunter.
Much appreciated and all the best! : )
I love this kind of flights to watch! I would appreciate to get more from you. Thank you dear @ItBS. Love and peace! Johann.
Thanks very much Johann, I’m really glad you enjoyed it!
These sorts of videos don’t tend to be as popular (just going off viewing numbers) however, they are some of my favourite to make so, there will definitely be more to come (most likely / hopefully, the India Foxt Echo Panavia Tornado will be next : )
Many thanks again. My pleasure and all the best!
