Not ashamed to say that I got goosebumps during that. I'll be on Just Flight's site tomorrow, waving cash at them. Thank you. Immersive and informative, but also vastly enjoyable and well-produced!
Haha well, thanks very much Maxley! I think it’s a testament to just what an awesome job Just Flight have done with the Vulcan! My absolute pleasure on the video and many thanks for the kind words. I do hope you’re enjoying the Vulcan! Happy flying and all the best : )
Live long and proser, Mike! : P The Vulcan seems to be pretty much loved by all and why wouldn’t she be; an iconic and beautiful design, a glorious howl and a unique piece of engineering for its time - the best of British haha ; ) Cheers!
Haha! Indeed Andy; an F-15 is all well and good and I’m sure it looks epic as it comes tearing around a corner of the Mach Loop but. . . seeing 70 tonnes of delta wing go howling past, that’s not something you’d forget in a hurry! If only. . . XD Cheers, all the best!
Thanks very much Rob, I’m really glad you enjoyed the flight! Haha, from one 4-engined British bomber to another. . . As Robin points out, hopefully Aeroplane Heaven’s Lanc won’t be too far around the corner now (and hopefully they’ve done her justice - the model certainly looks stunning!). Cheers and all the best : )
Wow - hot scramble!!!!!!! Impressive camera work. Agree with every point you made. Guess there is Omega nav in in original. Not impossible to convert from GPS, with more awkward authentic operation. (Input longitude) The cockpit is no doubt a nightmare. Image working on rudder pedals. Withworth UNC screws and bolts, and lock wiring them. Replacing a windshield wiper motor and dropping a nut. Well - I swear my last purchase was A2A Comanche, but last month with TBM850, Piper M500 and Tecnam 2012. Everything with at last 100+ pages documentation, I put in basket and find my credit card. I give up.
Thanks very much Øystein! I’m glad you enjoyed the scramble sequence and indeed that you felt the video broadly hit the nail on the head. If the Vulcan did have Omega NAV, it definitely would have been nice to see that as an option (I remember the CaptainSim 707 had Omega modelled, way back when CS *actually* made flight sim addons haha). I actually did my work experience with the RAF and spent about 90% of my time there lock-wiring things ha. Luckily, I was working in a much more spacious environment than the Vulcan XD Ahh, I think you will just have to accept defeat. The trouble is, most of us love aeroplanes and whilst the quality might vary from one addon to the next, we still want to get some appreciation of what a particular aircraft might have been like to fly (I know that’s certainly the case for me anyway). Just imagine that Santa came early this year haha ; ) Happy flying once again and if I don’t catch you before, a very Merry Christmas to you and yours!
@@IntotheBlueSimulations - Merry Christmas to you too. Hope you continue to enjoy us next year. - BTW - Omega on Vulcan is a qualified guess. Doubt you can bomb Moscow with the help of a few Tacan only.
Good question, Marc: I’d imagine someone will create a Vulcan profile at some point but, in the meantime, I’d have thought a Concorde profile would be your best bet (I could be completely wrong though haha). Both aircraft run 4 Rolls Royce Olympus engines. If you can generate a SimBrief profile and manually adjust the speed to keep the flight subsonic, that might give you some sort of representative figures to work with. There may be a better solution, that’s just off the top of my head. . . I hope that helps a little. Cheers and happy flying! : )
Hello James, I believe that Just Flight have confirmed that will be happening, yes. They’re using the PC release to iron out any bugs, issues, etc and then they’ll be bringing the Vulcan over to the Marketplace. I hope that helps. All the best : )
Hi Erick, Thanks very much! Well actually, in my last couple of videos (inspired my previous conversations), I have tried playing around a bit with touch-ups during editing haha. Nothing crazy though; primarily just adding a little bit more contrast and occasionally adding a little more blue shift to some scenes (again though, only to the external shots). I do plan on playing around with the Nvidia filters at some point although, it has to be said, the sim is looking pretty spectacular anyway, after SU14! Cheers and all the best! : )
I actually have seen this magnificent aircraft back in 1978 when I was serving on active duty with the US Navy at Naval Air Station Midway islands Pacific, really a beautiful bird...thanks for sharing.
NOW!... Now? You have my undevided attantion here :) I'd LOVE to recreate "Operation Black Buck" n with yourself at some time? Heh Imagine this.. How many times where the real Vulcans refuelled along the way (to at least ascention)? This JF version certainly has refuelling capabilities :) Regards
Brilliant comment 👏 I'm from Newark-upon-Trent THIS IS UNBELIEVABLE I'LL BE JOINING YOU IN THE B.2 XM594 ( from "RAF" Winthorpe😅) QUESTION IS 🤔 do we use the Blue Steel 🤯🫢😁🙌🙌🙈💓💗 This is ABSOLUTELY BREATH TAKING. I CAN SMELL AND TASTE PARAFFIN and... I'm actually shaking watching this 🥹😚😋☺️💗💓💗🙌🤩😍🫶🫶🫶🥳🥳🥳🥳🥰👍💫 look at the weathering on the arm rests 😮😊❤
Can you imagine Having the full V-FORCE VBG DOING THE QRA 3 MINUTE SCRAMBLE 🛫🛫🛫🛫🛫🛫🛫✈️✈️✈️✈️✈️✈️✈️ seeing ( BEING THERE💺 ) WITH THAT VISION I'd wet my flightsuit 🫢🤭☺️😆🤪😜🤗😂😂😂❤❤❤😊😊
Haha! I’m glad the “howl” has properly piqued your interest in the product, Robin XD Have you had a chance to try out A2A refuelling with the Vulcan? I haven’t myself and I’d be interested to know what is modelled / how it works. I love the idea of recreating Black Buck but, there’s no way I have the time for such a flight at the moment. A shorter group flight with some tanking, could be good fun, if the A2A modelling is even half decent. Cheers once again! : )
Lovely... needs more howl. So many memories flooding back from Mildenhall airshows in the 80's - you definitely felt this plane all through your body when it was demonstrated. Plus its last flight, over Norwich City Airport where it flew over the Aviation Museums Vulcan XM612. Have you explained what skins this this plane is available in or did I miss that bit? Loving the sim flights, very interesting, a lot more complicated than my Fighter Bomber days on the Amiga
Hello Martin, Im glad the video brought back some nice memories : ) I didn’t cover the liveries in this video, no. If you’d like to see which liveries are included, AvAngel covers that in her video (around the 05:20 mark): ruclips.net/video/tJ0EK7Tno3o/видео.htmlsi=Rae0HqFP5lUfdVQ8. I do hope that helps. I’m very happy to hear that you’re enjoying the flights (indeed, things have moved on quite a bit over the years haha). Thanks very much for watching and all the best!
Hi Aaron, Right now, the Vulcan is only available for purchase from the Just Flight website. The addon should be making its way over to the in-sim Marketplace at a later date though. I hope that helps. All the best : )
I love this aircraft and this addon , my first experience was as an Army cadet and we went to an air show and for the life of me I can't remember where it was but the Vulcan did it's display . And I instantly loved this huge Aircraft that performed like a Fighter considering it's size and that howell very haunting and added to it's deadly and huge impression . I was all set to join the Army as Infantry but in my family we had a RAF / Army back ground . Well after my Brother and Sister joined the RAF , I decided would do the same . Anyway after all the tests etc I was all set to join as a painter and sprayer , all was good until the CIO as it was known then ( Careers Information Office ) said that trade is closed at the moment but you have two options wait a year or two or pick from the trades you qualified for . Well to me it seemed RAF Fire Fighter was the most exciting so of I went to Swinderby basic training and then of to Manston for Fire Fighter training . We had various aircraft to do lift out training from Lightnings , Hunters and the larger aircraft like Vulcans and Helicopters well pretty much every aircraft and type that was or had been in the RAF . Also we burnt real aircraft in fuel pits and gained the experience of foam laying and magnesium fires !!!! , not easy to put out . How ever one huge aircraft we used to do lift out training was one Vulcan and what a nightmare . The AE and Nav where on the bottom level in two seats , you gained access from the nose wheel and lifted them out of their seats ( dummies of cause ) , that was a job in itself ....they had no ejector seats . Then after you had to climb a ladder up to the flight deck to get the two dummies out of the pilot and co-pilot seat and then lower them down to the nose wheel !!! hard work . Any of you RAF Fire Fighters that would have had to do that at your Stations as a regular part of training as we do , you have my admiration you must have arms like Charlie Atlas . Then my next experience was I was walking to my car at RAF Wittering when this huge roar and the ground vibrated and car alarms went off and when I looked up a Vulcan did a loop da loop over the airfield and then just flew of as nothing happened !!! . That was when they had the Vintage flight as well as Battle of Britain Flight , that same Vulcan was that last one flying and I find it sad it will never now fly again . How ever we now have this in our sim to experience . Thank you for your video very good and from now on ill be flying that mark that howells ,
Thanks very much for sharing, Nathan! I’m really glad that the video / Vulcan brought back some good memories. It sounds like you had a great time with the RAF! The RAF careers officer basically told me to go swivel (they didn’t need pilots apparently) haha and I ended up somewhere else in life but, if the flying hadn’t worked out, I always really liked the idea of firefighting. My pleasure on the video! I do hope that you’re enjoying the Vulcan (I would imagine most of us have only been flying the 201 variant haha). Happy flying and all the best : )
Hi Ste, Yes, this particular version of the Vulcan is available for Microsoft Flight Simulator. Currently, the addon is only available from the Just Flight website but, will be making its way to the in-sim Marketplace at a later date. I hope that helps. All the best : )
Thank you again. I agree with your comment about historical and iconic aircraft. MSFS is giving us the chance to experience these aircraft firsthand, especially when the detail is this good. I am looking forward to many more of this type of aircraft in the future.
Can you look behind in the Coal hole ?? 😅 This is making my molecules move Just like the actual bird does in real life I honestly don't think I've watch a video on the Vulcan That's made me so emotional as this is doing.. Bravo 👏 👏 👏 ❤
Thanks again, Peter! Indeed, it’s great having your own little “museum piece”, inside your PC. Of course, a virtual aircraft is never quite the same as the real deal but, on the flip side, one is also granted much more access to a virtual aircraft haha (and one can therefore get some sense of how she flew etc). I very much hope that Just Flight continue in this vein; they had a decent Tristar, Canberra and VC10 in FSX / P3D, so it would be nice to see those in MSFS (a Lightning, Buccaneer, Comet, BAC1-11, etc would all be very welcome also!). Cheers : )
Hi Lewis, Haha, the manoeuvre itself would be easy enough to pull off; I’m usually rubbish at aero braking but, in the Vulcan, it’s getting the nose back *on* the runway that’s the tricky bit haha. Whether the flight model would replicate aero braking, I’ve no idea. . . Cheers, all the best! : )
I watch most of your videos as I fly in VR and I like to learn from real pilots , I love to fly , I love to skydive 🪂, I work and live in the UK , I got my British passport a few years ago , now I am thinking to go to South Africa to blow my savings to become a pilot , do you think I can get a job as a pilot with CPL and 250 hours of flight ? Don’t know what to do , I am not young anymore and I don’t have much school either , but I would love to become a pilot , this will be my biggest dream and the greatest achievement of my life ! What would you be your advice for me. ? Thank you friend. ! Blue skies !
Hi Cali, Ooof, that’s a very tough one for me to answer haha. Firstly, we’re taking about a lot of money, so I can’t really tell you whether you should / shouldn’t spend it and secondly, there are lots of variables to consider (more than I could cover off in a single RUclips comment). Do you frequent PPRUNE at all? I think it’s a great starting point for these sorts of queries (at the time, I did a lot of research there myself): www.pprune.org/professional-pilot-training-includes-ground-studies-14/ Whilst you won’t find any definite answers on PPRUNE, you’ll certainly find a lot of guidance for various options, possibilities and outcomes. If you read most of the pinned topics at least, I think that should give you a pretty good idea where you stand. My own personal advice: 1) School and age are not necessarily a problem but, most airlines will be looking for a minimum level of qualifications and will most likely have their own entrance exams. Younger also seems to be preferable these days but, so long as you meet the requirements, age shouldn’t be a definite barrier to entry. 2) Many airlines are hiring at the moment but, it only takes another oil / financial crisis, another global virus, another war, etc and that could all come to a grinding halt. The industry is very cyclical unfortunately and there is some luck involved as to the situation you find yourself in when you come out of training (if there aren’t any jobs when you finish training, then you will have to keep your ratings current in the meantime, which can be costly). 3) Have you done any private flying at all? A PPL is potentially a good place to start. I know commercial flying is typically the goal but, if you actually want to have fun whilst flying, GA is so much better haha. Have you thought about getting your ratings bit by bit instead (not necessarily the best option, but a more manageable one)? 4) The job is great in many respects but, these days (at most airlines), you basically have to sacrifice your whole life to accommodate a typical roster. You’ll likely spend a lot of time tired / “overworked” and the money isn’t what it used to be of course. 5) If your biggest dream is truly to become a pilot, then I would say that you *almost* don’t have a choice haha. After all, you only live once. . . It’s somewhat cliche but, you don’t want to get to the end of your life wondering “what if” (equally, if you spend your life savings on it and it doesn’t work out, that could be just as much of a regret. . .). Flying is still an incredibly competitive industry to get into but, if you truly have your heart set on it and if you do have some sort of natural aptitude for flying, you’ll probably get to where you want to be, one way or another. 6) Have you looked at airline sponsorships etc? My short-term advice would be (if you haven’t done so already); do a couple of practice lessons and get some feedback from the instructor, see what he thinks about your flying skills etc. Also, apply to a couple of integrated flight schools (L3Harris, CAE Oxford etc), even if you have no intention of going there; they have their own selection process and that will give you some idea of what is expected in terms of academic qualifications, aptitude testing, interview technique, teamwork, etc. I hope that helps a little? Again, I think that PPRUNE is a great place to start but, if you have any further questions, feel free to get in touch again : ) Cheers, all the best!
@@IntotheBlueSimulations thank you very much for your time in replying me back , I much appreciate it Captain , I have 140 skydive jumps and 3 hours of PPL and last time I have been told by my instructor that YES , I can be a pilot which gave me more courage and confidence in myself , I will see what I will do , definitely at least private pilot one day ! 🙏😍
Hello Matt, No, the TU95 was a port-over from FSX; the ported aircraft doesn’t work very well in MSFS but, it was just good enough for recording a couple of external clips. I hope that clarifies things. All the best : )
Thanks very much, Panslow! I love(d) making them but, sadly, the Mach Loop series videos were never all that popular. In of itself, that wouldn’t bother me but, RUclips’s (awful) algorithms work such that every time a video does poorly, it negatively impacts the promotion of the channel / it’s content. As a result, every time I put out a Mach Loop video, I was somewhat shooting myself in the foot haha. I think the best compromise, is to do what I did here and run the loop when reviewing addons that might logically make such a flight. That way the video still gets the viewership and I still get to do something that I very much enjoy. Never say never though, I might still bring the series back one day. . . Cheers and all the best! : )
I’m about to purchase this but wondered where you got it and where you think is the best place to purchase it? Just flight directly or MSFS marketplace. I saw somewhere that it’s best to buy direct from just flight to get everything on offer for the aircraft such as weapons load out as they’re not available is MSFS? Also, are the pilot avatars and radio comms included with this Vulcan pack? Thank you Gareth
Hello Gareth, Correct. Personally, I would always recommend purchasing military addons outside of the sim (where possible); any addon purchased through the in-sim Marketplace, will have had its weapons removed. Just Flight is usually my preferred vendor, as they have a pretty great rewards scheme also. The pilot avatars are included with the product however, I added in the radio comms myself (during editing), for increased immersion. I hope that helps! All the best : )
@@IntotheBlueSimulations Thank you and I especially loved the Mach Loop flight as I visited it for the first time last year. What a rush 👍🏻 goes without saying, I’ve subscribed. Love your content
I have flown a few hours in the Just Flight Vulcan now. One thing that is really tricky for me is the lack of a heading indicator apart from the E6B compass. Trying to twiddle the compass card knob whilst setting up an ILS approach is difficult. How do you handle this? I used to fly the DH Devon (about same vintage as the Vulcan) in the 1970s and that had a G4B compass so you always knew which way you were pointing. Not so in the Vulcan. I also struggle with the autopilot. Powered on, Trim aircraft as best as possible for straight and level. Switch to Alt and ENGAGE. But soon its either diving or climbing. Anyone else find this or is it me?
Hello Peter, The beam compass does show heading, but the compass card is fixed and instead the heading reference pointer moves; so, the information is there, it just takes a little bit more mental gymnastics to extract it (at least for me anyway haha). Typically, I set up the TACAN / VOR, use the TACAN indicator as an RMI and then line myself up on the ILS that way. The beam compass will then show deviation from the LOC and you can adjust your heading accordingly. It’s interesting that you mention about the autopilot not being able to hold ALT. I didn’t have any such issues myself but, a couple of other viewers have made similar comments. I don’t know whether it’s a hardware conflict issue, or perhaps Just Flight broke something with the recent update. . . It sounds like you have the sequence correct; the autopilot needs to be powered (with pitch, roll and yaw channels selected in) and you then need to switch the pitch mode to ALT and pull to engage (I believe the AP will try and hold the altitude at which you went into ALT, not when you pulled so, make sure to only do this once at your desired altitude - which it sounds like you are). One other thing, have you tried engaging the AP first and then selecting ALT (off the top of my head, I can’t remember which sequence I did it in)? I hope that helps a little? Let me know if I’ve completely missed the mark haha. Cheers and all the best! P.s. If you don’t mind me asking, were you flying the Devon with the RAF then, or someone else? (That’s another Just Flight addon that I would really like to see brought over to MSFS : )
Hi. I eventually got my head around the beam compass and use it as you have written above. The AP altitude hold was just me not realising that as well as turning the knob to ALT you had to pull it up as well. I was hoping that there would be a HOTAS key bind that would enable me to to rotate the card similar to the way we move the HDG bug but Just Flight didn't seem to think it was possible. My Devon flying was with the Royal New Zealand Air Force around 1975. I managed 40 hours flying the Devon after 140 hours on the Harvard. Unfortunately my IF was not up to the required standard so that was that. I continued in the RNZAF as an aircraft engineer. I retired two years ago after returning to the RNZAF as a civilian technical support engineer involved with maintenance of the Kaman Super Seasprite.@@IntotheBlueSimulations
Great Peter, happy to hear that you got things sorted / figured out. Thanks for sharing your story! It’s always very interesting to hear everyone’s backgrounds etc; it sounds as though you still had a long and (I suspect) fulfilling career with the RNZAF : ) I hope you had a brilliant Christmas. Cheers once again!
My last experience of flight SIM was back in 2004. I never took it very seriously. Just flew about and didn't bother with ATC etc. Watching this has pushed me to get the sim again. Hopefully my 5800x3D and 6700XT will provide a reasonable experience.
Haha well, that’s awesome, Lee! I’m really glad this video has inspired you to give flight simming another go. All things beings equal, FS2004 is one of my favourite sims of all time. Of course, it doesn’t hold up particularly well by todays standards but, I loved the historical aspect to it, the missions etc. I do hope you enjoy MSFS! Happy flying and all the best : )
Oh hell yeah baby!!! One of the finest aircraft in the JF Product Line. Though I still have the P3D version which is still fun to fly for me. But if ever I moved to MSFS, this version would be instant acquisition for me.
My first airshow was Finningley in 1977. Part of that was a Vulcan scramble. 4 aircraft sitting on the QRA pan. They did the full scramble and went from cold to airborne in a couple of minutes!! The sound was incredible! You could literally feel it in your soul. After they left, the other jets, Tornado, Jaguar, some heavy Americans all sounded quiet! 😂
Hi Tom, As William points out, you can actually configure the Vulcan as a tanker haha, though I haven’t tried to see just how functional the whole process is (I don’t believe A2A refuelling is doable in MSFS but, I think the tablet will allow you to take on fuel at a realistic rate and whether or not you keep the aircraft in the correct position, is up to you). A Victor or something would be great though : ) Cheers, all the best!
Hi William, Have you tried A2A refuelling with the Vulcan at all? How functional is the whole process (I haven’t had a chance to play around with it yet)? Cheers, all the best : )
Haha, cheers Steve! I love(d) making the Mach Loop series. Sadly, the vids were never all that popular, which wasn’t an issue in of itself but, when a video does poorly, the RUclips algorithm punishes future videos also (it’s a real shame that RUclips works the way it does, it really discourages one from making videos for fun, or trying something a little bit different. . .). Anyway, never say never, I might still bring the series back one day. . . ; ) Many thanks and all the best! : )
Cheers, Michael. I know why the aircraft had a Mach meter; the Vulcan was originally designed as a high altitude bomber and up at altitude, Mach number typically becomes more limiting. I’m pretty sure at altitude, Vulcan crews would have flown a specific Mach number, as opposed to an IAS (it’s generally the same on a commercial airliner). Why the Vulcan’s Mach meter goes to 1.3 I have no idea haha. Perhaps the aircraft was capable of Mach 1 in a dive, or perhaps (knowing the UK haha), the gauge was just the part they had available at the time. All the best! : ) P.S, having just done a little more reading, it seems that the latter was in fact true. The Mach meter was a “stock” gauge, not specifically designed for the Vulcan. Apparently though, a crew did manage to get the Vulcan through the sound barrier (M1.03) on a test flight haha!
Those Vulcans would probably do the "QRA" scarmble, headed Eastbound against RedFor targets over Russia armed with either the Blue Steel missiles or the WE177 Tactical Nuclear bombs.. Lol
Haha! True, Maegester although, those probably seem like the “good old days” now, given that all of those Vulcans (and their not dissimilar flight characteristics to a typical airliner) have since been replaced with F-14s! XD All the best!
I know NC, the same thought has certainly crossed my mind; it will be very exciting to see what the future brings us (I can only imagine how amazing VR might be in another decade or so)! Cheers and all the best : )
Hi Taged, It is; Just Flight are using the PC release to iron out any bugs etc and then the aircraft will be making its way over to the Marketplace / console at a later date : ) I hope that helps. All the best!
I’d love to see a simulated strike with this model since it has the weapons available to it. I’m not sure of any more famous than the Falklands strike, so maybe one could be made up lol.
I was stationed at RAF Waddington during the Vulcans time and as a Ground radio tech used to be positioned at the CADF or CRDF building at the threshold, during an alert they would take off 4 at a time on full thrust, then appeared to stand on their tails for an almost vertical climb out. I loved the smell of aviation fuel as they thundered down the runway.
Haha, very cool Robert; that must have been quite a sight (and racket)! I’m really glad the video brought back some good memories : ) Thanks for sharing and all the best!
My absolute pleasure on the video CD, I’m really glad you enjoyed it! I do hope you’re having fun with the Vulcan then. Happy flying and all the best : )
Thanks again, Adam! I love(d) making the Mach Loop series vids but sadly, RUclips’s (awful) algorithms works such that every time a video does poorly, it negatively impacts the promotion of the channel / it’s content. As a result, every time I put out a Mach Loop video, I was somewhat shooting myself in the foot haha (very annoying). I think the best compromise, is to do what I did here and run the loop when reviewing addons that might logically make such a flight. That way the video still gets the viewership and I still get to do something that I very much enjoy. Never say never though, I might still bring the series back one day. . . ; ) Cheers and all the best!
Cheers, Mark! I still haven’t had a chance to plug in my VR headset and give it a go yet. Now I have the conundrum (when I do find the time) of whether I choose the Vulcan, or the Tomcat, for my first flight (as a Brit, I feel dirty even having to think about it haha). Happy flying, sir! : )
Absolutely enjoyed this aircraft. It takes me back to my youth watching them at air shows and, of course bombing Port Stanley Airport. What an aircraft.
Thank you very much, Goalski! I’m glad you enjoyed the flight and I do hope you’re enjoying the Vulcan also (how did you go with the FPS)? Happy flying and all the best : )
Just Flight does it again and this video is great as always. It’s a joy to fly and the sound with goggles and headphones is unbelievable. A great add on for any Simmers hangar A++++
I've never played on nor watched any flight simulator reviews. However this tin triangle is very dear to me So seeing these reviews Is Mind blowingly Incredible ❤❤❤
Thanks again, Graham! I’m really glad that you enjoyed the video to such a degree and that the flight brought back some good memories (by the sounds of it). All the best : )
Thanks very much FL, I’m really glad you enjoyed the video! Just Flight have indeed done an incredible job with the Vulcan; I’m still itching to try it in VR myself! Happy flying and all the best : )
Another great review adding to part 1. This is just a fabulous aircraft and one of my all-time favourites. 50’s to 60’s was a golden age for British aircraft. Hopefully, we’ll see more in MSFS in the future.
Thanks very much, Grae! Indeed, the Vulcan was something special and it’s a real shame that we don’t make ‘em like that anymore (or make anything really haha). I’m certainly keeping my fingers crossed, that Just Flight will follow up with some more British classics (at least then we can preserve / enjoy them virtually). Cheers once again! All the best : )
It’s certainly a very unique and rather intimidating sound, Manny. I think the Stuka siren might also be in the running for “most terrifying” although, I suppose pound-for-pound, the Vulcan was a much more devastating machine. . . Cheers, all the best!
Hi JG, Well, it’s taken a while but, we are starting to see more and more addons of this fidelity, coming into MSFS, yes. The Vulcan is certainly right up there but, most of Just Flight’s products are done to a similar standard. We also have Fenix, PMDG, Heatblur, A2A, etc; we really are getting rather spoilt for choice at this point : ) Cheers and all the best!
Another great video and as always, extremely accomplished and precise flying. I also like the way you take the trouble to learn the aircraft properly before you make your videos, unlike some content creators. Just a quick question about the reduced control authority at high speed: does the Vulcan actually reduce the travel of the control surfaces at high speed in order to protect them from aerodynamic damage, or is the reduced authority simply a natural consequence of the higher speed?
The pitch 'feel' is artificially reduced by the square of the speed. In roll, the stick force is constant but the amount of deflection available is decreased gradually from 150kts. It was built into the sim using the graphs from the Vulcan Servicing Manual.
Thank you very much Stephen, I’m really glad you enjoyed the video! I try to do my homework ahead of a review haha; partly, because it’s not really fair to review the product without some knowledge of how it’s supposed to work and also because, learning new aircraft is probably the thing that I most enjoy about simming (so the “study” is rarely a chore). People seem to appreciate me taking the time to learn an addon and I wouldn’t wish to go about things any other way, Hopefully, Delta558’s post answers your question? He’s a member of the Just Flight team and the man responsible for the flight model so, he undoubtedly knows far more than I could ever tell you haha! Cheers and all the best : )
Great video.. Mega effort from Just Flight.. Wonderful to see a Vulcan beating the Loop up.. Thanks for taking me back to the days when the Vulcan was tearing up Air Shows & setting car alarms off everywhere.. 🙌👍
Thanks very much Adam. I’m really glad you enjoyed the video and that the Vulcan brought back some good memories haha! The Vulcan is an absolute classic and it’s brilliant that Just Flight have brought her “back to life” in such superb detail. Cheers and all the best! : )
Absolutely, Axeman; Just Flight have done a superb job with the Vulcan! I’m really glad you enjoyed the flight! Thanks very much for watching and have a cracking day : )
Hi NC, Thanks very much, I’m really glad you enjoyed the flight! I departed and landed at RAF Valley (EGOV). There is a very nice, freeware scenery available for the airbase, over on Flightsim.to. I hope that helps. All the best! : )
@IntotheBlueSimulations Hi Yes I know I was just thinking about where I'd want to take off from. And being from Newark-upon-Trent It's gotta be from RAF Waddington What an incredible experience
After watching your video a few times I managed to get the Vulcan started without aid and flew the Loch Ness route similar to your first flight video. After multiple sessions with the Avro this felt like a big accomplishment 😅 This AC is fantastic! I love the JF Hawk but the Vulcan is eminently addictive to throw around. Your videos are my first place to go when a new sim AC is released. They are best of their kind IMHO 🎉 🙏🏻
Haha. Having just caught up in the comments, I’m glad you now have the Vulcan figured out, Andy! As you say, it’s such a satisfying aircraft to try and master (did you see Nessie on your way over? ; ) I still love the Hawk but, despite the update, the flight model feels like it’s showing it’s age at this point (although, I do have another video I would like to record with the little T1); the Vulcan is indeed just a complete joy to fly. I’m glad you found the video useful as a guide / tutorial. I try and make that the case by design, as I figure it gives the content a little bit more utility overall (especially as reviews videos have a relatively short shelf-life otherwise). Many thanks again! Happy flying : )
@@IntotheBlueSimulations I sure kept an eye for Nessie as weather was mostly VFR on my flight. I am guessing for Scotland this is a rarity for this time of year to have favorable visibility. I have to always set my sim local time to day as I fly in the am PST US and it is always late afternoon in UK at that time and getting dark. Have you had any luck getting the Vulcan CG fuel transfer gauge to show proper ? I am always nose heavy for some reason even at light fuel. Wishing you a happy new year and great things for 2024 👍
Haha. Nice weather, in Scotland?? Clearly, Asobo still needs to do a little bit more work on the Live Weather system. . . XD (To be fair, it’s rare but, Scotland on a nice day, is one of the most beautiful places I’ve ever been!). For the CG gauge, you’ll notice there’s a little button next to it; according to Just Flight, the gauge is only supposed to read correctly with the button depressed (very odd but, it is a British design so, I’m not too surprised haha). I think the gauge was primarily used for A2A refuelling (I spent a long time with the P3D Vulcan, trying to figure out why my CG was always off ha). I hope that helps, Andy. Cheers!
Haha! Well, fair enough Chris; I will be happy to forego any modelling of the rear cockpit, if Just Flight provides each customer with a complimentary box of cigars ; ) Cheers and all the best for 2024!
Haha, thanks very much, Jamie! I love(d) making the Mach Loop series. Never say never, I suppose, I might still bring the series back one day. . . ; ) The Vulcan is indeed a beast. Great to have the aircraft in the sim! Cheers and all the best : )
I love the mach loop videos. like a Top Gear run around the track! the Concorde is still my favorite. speaking of concorde, maybe a run from NY to LA? it's a nice flight. keep up the great videos, i enjoy these Motor Trend style videos showcasing the aircraft. the amount of prep you do just to learn to fly these soon to be if not already peices of history is astounding. ❤
Thanks very much, Jon! I love(d) making the Mach Loop vids and Top Gear was very much my inspiration actually haha. Sadly though, RUclips just punishes you every time you put out a video that doesn’t do all that well (and the Mach Loop series never did). I think the best compromise, is to do what I did here and run the loop when reviewing addons. That way, the video still gets the viewership and I still get to do something that I very much enjoy. Never say never though, I might still bring the series back one day. . . ; ) I am most certainly due another outing in Concorde! I did start prepping a flight in the DC Designs Concorde the other day but, that thing is pretty broken at the moment. . . Perhaps, I’ll take a look at the Colimata Concorde, this time in X-Plane 12 (some time in 2024 haha). Many thanks for the kind words! Thanks for watching and all the best : )
@@IntotheBlueSimulations damn algorithmses lol. Sad to here the DC Concorde is broken. Havnt had a go at this in a while playing other things. Its the only plane i actually paid for. Ez flight sessions when you can go mach 2 everywhere haha. Anyhow keep it up as long as you can. ❤️
Haha! Not at all Angmarwitch, I was just trying to get bonus points for style! : P Yeah, the Vulcan caught me out there - just about got away with it though haha. I do hope you’re enjoying the addon! Happy flying and all the best : )
Hi QGU, You need to assign a keybind. It’s stated in the manual but, from memory, I think you need to assign “Toggle Arm Spoilers”. The most recent update, actually gives the user the option to auto-deploy the chute (as well as auto-jettison it). I hope that helps. All the best!
Haha! I have told my wife this but, for whatever reason, she doesn’t seem to agree. . . : / My next move, will be to try and get the kid into simming - 2 birds, 1 stone XD
Thanks very much, US! I’m glad you enjoy watching these vids, as I certainly enjoy making them haha. Absolutely; Just Flight have done an amazing job with the Vulcan and it’s great to see them offer the aircraft to the community, at such a reasonable price. My hat goes off to them! Cheers once again and, if I didn’t say it already, a very happy new year to you : )
Thank you very much John, very kind of you to say! As you can probably tell from the video, I have a lot of admiration for these iconic flying machines (and the people who serviced / operated them) so, you comment is much appreciated : ) Cheers and all the best!
Hi TB500, I was planning on having a PC-12 video out by now (and spent quite a bit of time recording with the aircraft) but, I had a few issues with the addon and that rather threw a spanner in the works. I’m waiting on the next hotfix and I’ll most likely record a review thereafter. Cheers, all the best!
Hi SMB, At the moment, the Vulcan is only available from the Just Flight website. The addon will be coming to the in-sim Marketplace at a later date though. I hope that helps. All the best!
I use to fly from Teesside airport in light aircraft back in the early eighties and there used to be to be an annual air show. Being a member of Cleveland flying school we use to get free admission. The Vulcan made a couple of appearances both landing and taking off and I managed to get a great picture of it during its takeoff roll just as it lifted off. I live in Sunderland and we had a yearly air show for around 10-15 years before covid struck and it was cancelled. The Vulcan made appearances and what a magnificent sight to see flying slow at low level We have an aircraft museum here and have a Vulcan in it. The aircraft actually landed just outside the museum as we had an airport then called Usworth airport which now as been long gone, the site now being the home to the Nissan car manufacturer. Sadly in 1971 a Vulcan crashed just south of Sunderland at a little village called Wingate. The crew had baled out and the pilotless plane hit the ground in a field just behind the local co-op store, luckily no one was injured.
Forgot to mention, I was lucky enough to get in the Vulcan after the museum closed to the public. My daughter who was studying aeronautical engineering at university use to volunteer there during the summer break and got the bosses permission to let me in it. It was brilliant
Ahh well, that makes two of us then James (I’ve flown out of Teeside a few times haha)! Actually, on one of my trips there, whilst I was grabbing some lunch, there were some Belgian (I seem to recall) F-16 pilots, holding over at Teeside, before heading off to perform at the airshow : ) I’m really glad the video brought back some nice memories and I can only hope, that my daughter will one day be as sporting as yours haha. Thanks very much for sharing and all the best to you and the family!
Just bought it and I am happily flying it. The engine howl sounds perfect with the true Vulcan howl. In my childhood I lived less than 500m away from a whole Vulcan Squadron and I still can play replay it in my mind ... very nostalgic! Thanks for the 2nd video.
Haha, that’s awesome OGP. That must have been one hell of a sight to behold, as a small lad! I’m glad the video brought back some good memories then ; ) I’m really pleased you’re enjoying the Vulcan! My pleasure, happy flying and all the best : )
ITBS kicks it out the park again with another educational, Precise review! I thought the Just Flight Vulcan was going to be £50+, I went on their website and it's listed for £27.99p, I had to buy it as i love the Vulcan and ITBS's reviews will help me get around it as i am a bit of a noob! 😂
Don't forget there are a set of FAQs about the aircraft on the support section of our site and we'll also be releasing some tutorial videos shortly so look out for those. I hope that helps.
Haha, I think we were all *very* pleasantly surprised by the pricing of the Vulcan, Scotty! Indeed, how can one say no at that sort of price haha?? I do hope you’re enjoying the addon; I’m really glad my vids are helping you find your way around a bit. Many thanks for the kind words! Happy flying, sir : )
Wonderful stuff! A great undertaking by Just Flight, to preserve something as iconic as the Vulcan. Hope they pick a few more icons for us to enjoy in future too.
Cheers Matt! Yes, Just Flight have indeed done a wonderful job with the Vulcan and I certainly hope we see more classic, British aircraft done to the same standard (there are just so many to choose from haha). Fingers crossed! All the best to you : )
Hi Andy, Well, I thought it was a nice compromise haha. I’ve got others telling me that they don’t want the coal hole and that it’s inappropriate for me to suggest it being added, at the risk of increasing the price of the addon. It’s certainly a part of the aircraft that I would love to see but, realistically, more work does mean more costs, that Just Flight are going to pass onto the customer. The Vulcan is very reasonably priced so, I don’t think it would be totally unfair to charge another £10 for the rear cockpit (even then, the addon would be cheaper than it’s P3D / XP counterparts) and let the customer decide whether they want it or not. At the end of the day, it was only a suggestion and one which was probably pretty academic, given that I don’t believe Just Flight have plans to do anything of the sort haha. Cheers, all the best : )
Don't think your point about a rear cockpit being modelled is valid at all. Its a flight sim, you don't even need the rear cockpit, msfs doesn't even support all the original operations in the rear cockpit, you get the necessary panels for FLYING. I get so you can have a look around but honestly get real, what do you expect for the price it is. It's a slight trade off they made to keep the price lower and most people no doubt would rather have it that way. We're not all highly paid airline pilots.
I've never played nor watched a single flight simulator game/ review Ever. So are you saying you can actually look behind back into the Coal hole 😮 Whatever This simulator is INCREDIBLE
Hi Iceman, Well, that’s fair enough; we all have our own opinions of course but, literally the next comment after yours, was someone saying that the product is “incomplete” without the rear section modelled haha (which I don’t particularly agree with either). Just goes to show, that we all have different ideas / expectations. I fully understand why the rear cockpit section wasn’t included and I’m more than happy if Just Flight want to keep costs down / make the product more affordable (which I gather, is exactly why this decision was made). My job doesn’t come into it; I want as many people to be able to enjoy the Vulcan / sim / hobby as possible. That’s why I simply *suggested* that it might make for a nice little *optional* paid update (I really don’t see the harm?). Whether or not the rear cockpit was just added for show, I know there are many others that would like to see it as well. . . Either way, I think this whole discussion is pretty academic; I don’t think Just Flight has plans to do anything of the sort haha. All the best
Hi HH, I did think that also but, I’m not sure that FPS would be an issue in this particular case; each section could still be separated from one another (via the curtain) and therefore only rendered when the user is viewing that particular cockpit section (I could be wrong on that one though). All the best!
Haha well, that’s what’s being discussed, Graham: The Vulcan doesn’t come with the coal hole modelled / included. I suggested that it might be something that’s nice to have but, not everybody agrees with me (and fair enough). Cheers, all the best! : )
If you'd like to see a full flight profile and a complete demonstration of the Vulcan (Olympus 301 engines), please see Part 1 of the "series": ruclips.net/video/dacGpxAa6pY/видео.htmlsi=ltNopA-1mxyUlEMp
Vulcan through the Mach loop... Reminds me of that scene from Dr Strangeloveruclips.net/video/SLoLPcnQqEM/видео.html
Not ashamed to say that I got goosebumps during that. I'll be on Just Flight's site tomorrow, waving cash at them. Thank you. Immersive and informative, but also vastly enjoyable and well-produced!
I'm in absolute Tears of joy 😭😭😭😭❤❤
Haha well, thanks very much Maxley! I think it’s a testament to just what an awesome job Just Flight have done with the Vulcan! My absolute pleasure on the video and many thanks for the kind words.
I do hope you’re enjoying the Vulcan! Happy flying and all the best : )
A very Logical Video , I simply Luv the Vulcan as I have seen it flying at my local airshow a few times.
Live long and proser, Mike! : P
The Vulcan seems to be pretty much loved by all and why wouldn’t she be; an iconic and beautiful design, a glorious howl and a unique piece of engineering for its time - the best of British haha ; )
Cheers!
Amazing. Can you imagine the noise of all the Mach Loop photographers jaws hitting the floor when after the usual F-15’s comes ‘the howl’ 😂😂
Mother of God, I would beggar myself to see that with my own eyes 😮
We may get a few UFO sightings as well 😂
Haha! Indeed Andy; an F-15 is all well and good and I’m sure it looks epic as it comes tearing around a corner of the Mach Loop but. . . seeing 70 tonnes of delta wing go howling past, that’s not something you’d forget in a hurry! If only. . . XD
Cheers, all the best!
Beautiful flight! Now all we need is the Avro Lancaster. Many Thanks ;)
Aeroplane heaven, I believe are already in development of that beautiful Bombardier airframe ;) As Welsh as i am also? yup boiyo
Thanks very much Rob, I’m really glad you enjoyed the flight!
Haha, from one 4-engined British bomber to another. . . As Robin points out, hopefully Aeroplane Heaven’s Lanc won’t be too far around the corner now (and hopefully they’ve done her justice - the model certainly looks stunning!).
Cheers and all the best : )
So good he did it twice - now it's out, we get the 201 howl treats!
❤❤
Wow - hot scramble!!!!!!! Impressive camera work.
Agree with every point you made.
Guess there is Omega nav in in original. Not impossible to convert from GPS, with more awkward authentic operation. (Input longitude)
The cockpit is no doubt a nightmare. Image working on rudder pedals. Withworth UNC screws and bolts, and lock wiring them. Replacing a windshield wiper motor and dropping a nut.
Well - I swear my last purchase was A2A Comanche, but last month with TBM850, Piper M500 and Tecnam 2012. Everything with at last 100+ pages documentation, I put in basket and find my credit card. I give up.
Thanks very much Øystein! I’m glad you enjoyed the scramble sequence and indeed that you felt the video broadly hit the nail on the head.
If the Vulcan did have Omega NAV, it definitely would have been nice to see that as an option (I remember the CaptainSim 707 had Omega modelled, way back when CS *actually* made flight sim addons haha).
I actually did my work experience with the RAF and spent about 90% of my time there lock-wiring things ha. Luckily, I was working in a much more spacious environment than the Vulcan XD
Ahh, I think you will just have to accept defeat. The trouble is, most of us love aeroplanes and whilst the quality might vary from one addon to the next, we still want to get some appreciation of what a particular aircraft might have been like to fly (I know that’s certainly the case for me anyway). Just imagine that Santa came early this year haha ; )
Happy flying once again and if I don’t catch you before, a very Merry Christmas to you and yours!
@@IntotheBlueSimulations - Merry Christmas to you too. Hope you continue to enjoy us next year. - BTW - Omega on Vulcan is a qualified guess. Doubt you can bomb Moscow with the help of a few Tacan only.
I really want this in DCS!
Give it about two weeks...or years even. 😉
Goosebumps at 19:50
Looks, and sounds, awesome!
Very nice but needs more howl.
Beautiful!
Considering it got simbreif import. What aircraft would be the closest to the vulcan to choose from?
Good question, Marc: I’d imagine someone will create a Vulcan profile at some point but, in the meantime, I’d have thought a Concorde profile would be your best bet (I could be completely wrong though haha). Both aircraft run 4 Rolls Royce Olympus engines. If you can generate a SimBrief profile and manually adjust the speed to keep the flight subsonic, that might give you some sort of representative figures to work with. There may be a better solution, that’s just off the top of my head. . .
I hope that helps a little. Cheers and happy flying! : )
Ive just actually watched ( again) the Vulcan do the Mach loop in 2023
😳😵💫😲🤯😍🤩👏👏👏👏🎉🎉🎉🫡🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳❤❤❤❤❤❤❤🫶🙌👍🛫✈️🛩🛬
Do we know if this is coming to the msfs shop to buy in the game
Hello James,
I believe that Just Flight have confirmed that will be happening, yes. They’re using the PC release to iron out any bugs, issues, etc and then they’ll be bringing the Vulcan over to the Marketplace.
I hope that helps. All the best : )
I cannot get enough of your sim visuals. This cannot be vanilla colors. Jas to be some enhancements other than vignette filter
Hi Erick,
Thanks very much!
Well actually, in my last couple of videos (inspired my previous conversations), I have tried playing around a bit with touch-ups during editing haha. Nothing crazy though; primarily just adding a little bit more contrast and occasionally adding a little more blue shift to some scenes (again though, only to the external shots). I do plan on playing around with the Nvidia filters at some point although, it has to be said, the sim is looking pretty spectacular anyway, after SU14!
Cheers and all the best! : )
That is nothing like the Vulcan howl. It is far too muted.
Ahh the Vulcan. Never forget seeing it fly a display at RAF St. Athan At Home open day, back in the early 80's. Quite a haunting but impressive site!
I actually have seen this magnificent aircraft back in 1978 when I was serving on active duty with the US Navy at Naval Air Station Midway islands Pacific, really a beautiful bird...thanks for sharing.
My pleasure on the video, dcdell! I’m glad the Vulcan brought back some good memories : )
Cheers and all the best!
NOW!... Now? You have my undevided attantion here :) I'd LOVE to recreate "Operation Black Buck" n with yourself at some time? Heh Imagine this.. How many times where the real Vulcans refuelled along the way (to at least ascention)? This JF version certainly has refuelling capabilities :) Regards

Haha! I’m glad the “howl” has properly piqued your interest in the product, Robin XD
Have you had a chance to try out A2A refuelling with the Vulcan? I haven’t myself and I’d be interested to know what is modelled / how it works. I love the idea of recreating Black Buck but, there’s no way I have the time for such a flight at the moment. A shorter group flight with some tanking, could be good fun, if the A2A modelling is even half decent.
Cheers once again! : )
Lovely... needs more howl.
So many memories flooding back from Mildenhall airshows in the 80's - you definitely felt this plane all through your body when it was demonstrated. Plus its last flight, over Norwich City Airport where it flew over the Aviation Museums Vulcan XM612.
Have you explained what skins this this plane is available in or did I miss that bit?
Loving the sim flights, very interesting, a lot more complicated than my Fighter Bomber days on the Amiga
Hello Martin,
Im glad the video brought back some nice memories : )
I didn’t cover the liveries in this video, no. If you’d like to see which liveries are included, AvAngel covers that in her video (around the 05:20 mark): ruclips.net/video/tJ0EK7Tno3o/видео.htmlsi=Rae0HqFP5lUfdVQ8. I do hope that helps.
I’m very happy to hear that you’re enjoying the flights (indeed, things have moved on quite a bit over the years haha). Thanks very much for watching and all the best!
@@IntotheBlueSimulations thank you for the link, I will give that a look.
Keep up the good work 👍
You’re most welcome! Cheers, Martin : )
Is the Vulcan an in-game purchase or a downloaded add-on?
Hi Aaron,
Right now, the Vulcan is only available for purchase from the Just Flight website. The addon should be making its way over to the in-sim Marketplace at a later date though.
I hope that helps. All the best : )
I love this aircraft and this addon , my first experience was as an Army cadet and we went to an air show and for the life of me I can't remember where it was but the Vulcan did it's display . And I instantly loved this huge Aircraft that performed like a Fighter considering it's size and that howell very haunting and added to it's deadly and huge impression . I was all set to join the Army as Infantry but in my family we had a RAF / Army back ground . Well after my Brother and Sister joined the RAF , I decided would do the same . Anyway after all the tests etc I was all set to join as a painter and sprayer , all was good until the CIO as it was known then ( Careers Information Office ) said that trade is closed at the moment but you have two options wait a year or two or pick from the trades you qualified for . Well to me it seemed RAF Fire Fighter was the most exciting so of I went to Swinderby basic training and then of to Manston for Fire Fighter training . We had various aircraft to do lift out training from Lightnings , Hunters and the larger aircraft like Vulcans and Helicopters well pretty much every aircraft and type that was or had been in the RAF . Also we burnt real aircraft in fuel pits and gained the experience of foam laying and magnesium fires !!!! , not easy to put out . How ever one huge aircraft we used to do lift out training was one Vulcan and what a nightmare . The AE and Nav where on the bottom level in two seats , you gained access from the nose wheel and lifted them out of their seats ( dummies of cause ) , that was a job in itself ....they had no ejector seats . Then after you had to climb a ladder up to the flight deck to get the two dummies out of the pilot and co-pilot seat and then lower them down to the nose wheel !!! hard work . Any of you RAF Fire Fighters that would have had to do that at your Stations as a regular part of training as we do , you have my admiration you must have arms like Charlie Atlas . Then my next experience was I was walking to my car at RAF Wittering when this huge roar and the ground vibrated and car alarms went off and when I looked up a Vulcan did a loop da loop over the airfield and then just flew of as nothing happened !!! . That was when they had the Vintage flight as well as Battle of Britain Flight , that same Vulcan was that last one flying and I find it sad it will never now fly again . How ever we now have this in our sim to experience . Thank you for your video very good and from now on ill be flying that mark that howells ,
Thanks very much for sharing, Nathan! I’m really glad that the video / Vulcan brought back some good memories.
It sounds like you had a great time with the RAF! The RAF careers officer basically told me to go swivel (they didn’t need pilots apparently) haha and I ended up somewhere else in life but, if the flying hadn’t worked out, I always really liked the idea of firefighting.
My pleasure on the video! I do hope that you’re enjoying the Vulcan (I would imagine most of us have only been flying the 201 variant haha).
Happy flying and all the best : )
Have this in P3D and bought again to show support for a developer who is working hard. The Vulcan is a favorite also of course.
I hope we see the TU 95 in the Sim soon
Hi there I have flight simulator is this wot its on or something different thanks
Hi Ste,
Yes, this particular version of the Vulcan is available for Microsoft Flight Simulator. Currently, the addon is only available from the Just Flight website but, will be making its way to the in-sim Marketplace at a later date.
I hope that helps. All the best : )
Thank you again. I agree with your comment about historical and iconic aircraft. MSFS is giving us the chance to experience these aircraft firsthand, especially when the detail is this good. I am looking forward to many more of this type of aircraft in the future.
Agreed. Could you imagine Just Flight applying this level of fidelity to the English Electric Lightning?
Can you look behind in the Coal hole
?? 😅
This is making my molecules move
Just like the actual bird does in real life
I honestly don't think I've watch a video on the Vulcan
That's made me so emotional as this is doing..
Bravo 👏 👏 👏 ❤
Thanks again, Peter!
Indeed, it’s great having your own little “museum piece”, inside your PC. Of course, a virtual aircraft is never quite the same as the real deal but, on the flip side, one is also granted much more access to a virtual aircraft haha (and one can therefore get some sense of how she flew etc). I very much hope that Just Flight continue in this vein; they had a decent Tristar, Canberra and VC10 in FSX / P3D, so it would be nice to see those in MSFS (a Lightning, Buccaneer, Comet, BAC1-11, etc would all be very welcome also!).
Cheers : )
I cannot wait for the Vulcan to come to Xbox 😍😍 she was the 1st military aircraft i saw at a airshow at Volkel AB in 2009 😍😍
Was an instant buy for me.
Challenge. Next landing see if you can aero brake down the runway without the drag chute.
Hi Lewis,
Haha, the manoeuvre itself would be easy enough to pull off; I’m usually rubbish at aero braking but, in the Vulcan, it’s getting the nose back *on* the runway that’s the tricky bit haha. Whether the flight model would replicate aero braking, I’ve no idea. . .
Cheers, all the best! : )
I watch most of your videos as I fly in VR and I like to learn from real pilots , I love to fly , I love to skydive 🪂, I work and live in the UK , I got my British passport a few years ago , now I am thinking to go to South Africa to blow my savings to become a pilot , do you think I can get a job as a pilot with CPL and 250 hours of flight ? Don’t know what to do , I am not young anymore and I don’t have much school either , but I would love to become a pilot , this will be my biggest dream and the greatest achievement of my life ! What would you be your advice for me. ? Thank you friend. ! Blue skies !
Hi Cali,
Ooof, that’s a very tough one for me to answer haha. Firstly, we’re taking about a lot of money, so I can’t really tell you whether you should / shouldn’t spend it and secondly, there are lots of variables to consider (more than I could cover off in a single RUclips comment). Do you frequent PPRUNE at all? I think it’s a great starting point for these sorts of queries (at the time, I did a lot of research there myself): www.pprune.org/professional-pilot-training-includes-ground-studies-14/
Whilst you won’t find any definite answers on PPRUNE, you’ll certainly find a lot of guidance for various options, possibilities and outcomes. If you read most of the pinned topics at least, I think that should give you a pretty good idea where you stand.
My own personal advice:
1) School and age are not necessarily a problem but, most airlines will be looking for a minimum level of qualifications and will most likely have their own entrance exams. Younger also seems to be preferable these days but, so long as you meet the requirements, age shouldn’t be a definite barrier to entry.
2) Many airlines are hiring at the moment but, it only takes another oil / financial crisis, another global virus, another war, etc and that could all come to a grinding halt. The industry is very cyclical unfortunately and there is some luck involved as to the situation you find yourself in when you come out of training (if there aren’t any jobs when you finish training, then you will have to keep your ratings current in the meantime, which can be costly).
3) Have you done any private flying at all? A PPL is potentially a good place to start. I know commercial flying is typically the goal but, if you actually want to have fun whilst flying, GA is so much better haha. Have you thought about getting your ratings bit by bit instead (not necessarily the best option, but a more manageable one)?
4) The job is great in many respects but, these days (at most airlines), you basically have to sacrifice your whole life to accommodate a typical roster. You’ll likely spend a lot of time tired / “overworked” and the money isn’t what it used to be of course.
5) If your biggest dream is truly to become a pilot, then I would say that you *almost* don’t have a choice haha. After all, you only live once. . . It’s somewhat cliche but, you don’t want to get to the end of your life wondering “what if” (equally, if you spend your life savings on it and it doesn’t work out, that could be just as much of a regret. . .). Flying is still an incredibly competitive industry to get into but, if you truly have your heart set on it and if you do have some sort of natural aptitude for flying, you’ll probably get to where you want to be, one way or another.
6) Have you looked at airline sponsorships etc?
My short-term advice would be (if you haven’t done so already); do a couple of practice lessons and get some feedback from the instructor, see what he thinks about your flying skills etc. Also, apply to a couple of integrated flight schools (L3Harris, CAE Oxford etc), even if you have no intention of going there; they have their own selection process and that will give you some idea of what is expected in terms of academic qualifications, aptitude testing, interview technique, teamwork, etc.
I hope that helps a little? Again, I think that PPRUNE is a great place to start but, if you have any further questions, feel free to get in touch again : )
Cheers, all the best!
@@IntotheBlueSimulations thank you very much for your time in replying me back , I much appreciate it Captain , I have 140 skydive jumps and 3 hours of PPL and last time I have been told by my instructor that YES , I can be a pilot which gave me more courage and confidence in myself , I will see what I will do , definitely at least private pilot one day ! 🙏😍
You’re most welcome! Best of luck going forward : )
What are you using for seasons? i cant seem to find anything that makes the terrain colours change quite looks like yours!
Hi Arane,
These days, I’m using REX AccuSeason Advanced Edition - the addon does a pretty nice job overall : )
I hope that helps. All the best!
Is there a Tu-95 for MSFS now too?
Hello Matt,
No, the TU95 was a port-over from FSX; the ported aircraft doesn’t work very well in MSFS but, it was just good enough for recording a couple of external clips.
I hope that clarifies things. All the best : )
Man, I refreshed my youtube, saw this video had been uploaded 17 seconds earlier and it already had 20 views! You guys are quick!
Haha! You guys rock ; )
Cheers!
I love your Mach Loop videos!
Thanks very much, Panslow! I love(d) making them but, sadly, the Mach Loop series videos were never all that popular. In of itself, that wouldn’t bother me but, RUclips’s (awful) algorithms work such that every time a video does poorly, it negatively impacts the promotion of the channel / it’s content. As a result, every time I put out a Mach Loop video, I was somewhat shooting myself in the foot haha. I think the best compromise, is to do what I did here and run the loop when reviewing addons that might logically make such a flight. That way the video still gets the viewership and I still get to do something that I very much enjoy. Never say never though, I might still bring the series back one day. . .
Cheers and all the best! : )
I’m about to purchase this but wondered where you got it and where you think is the best place to purchase it? Just flight directly or MSFS marketplace. I saw somewhere that it’s best to buy direct from just flight to get everything on offer for the aircraft such as weapons load out as they’re not available is MSFS? Also, are the pilot avatars and radio comms included with this Vulcan pack?
Thank you
Gareth
Hello Gareth,
Correct. Personally, I would always recommend purchasing military addons outside of the sim (where possible); any addon purchased through the in-sim Marketplace, will have had its weapons removed. Just Flight is usually my preferred vendor, as they have a pretty great rewards scheme also. The pilot avatars are included with the product however, I added in the radio comms myself (during editing), for increased immersion.
I hope that helps! All the best : )
@@IntotheBlueSimulations Thank you and I especially loved the Mach Loop flight as I visited it for the first time last year. What a rush 👍🏻 goes without saying, I’ve subscribed. Love your content
Ah well, thanks very much Pegasus! Welcome aboard : )
I would love to visit the Mach Loop at some point - I’m sure it’s an amazing experience. Cheers!
I have flown a few hours in the Just Flight Vulcan now. One thing that is really tricky for me is the lack of a heading indicator apart from the E6B compass. Trying to twiddle the compass card knob whilst setting up an ILS approach is difficult. How do you handle this? I used to fly the DH Devon (about same vintage as the Vulcan) in the 1970s and that had a G4B compass so you always knew which way you were pointing. Not so in the Vulcan. I also struggle with the autopilot. Powered on, Trim aircraft as best as possible for straight and level. Switch to Alt and ENGAGE. But soon its either diving or climbing. Anyone else find this or is it me?
Hello Peter,
The beam compass does show heading, but the compass card is fixed and instead the heading reference pointer moves; so, the information is there, it just takes a little bit more mental gymnastics to extract it (at least for me anyway haha). Typically, I set up the TACAN / VOR, use the TACAN indicator as an RMI and then line myself up on the ILS that way. The beam compass will then show deviation from the LOC and you can adjust your heading accordingly.
It’s interesting that you mention about the autopilot not being able to hold ALT. I didn’t have any such issues myself but, a couple of other viewers have made similar comments. I don’t know whether it’s a hardware conflict issue, or perhaps Just Flight broke something with the recent update. . . It sounds like you have the sequence correct; the autopilot needs to be powered (with pitch, roll and yaw channels selected in) and you then need to switch the pitch mode to ALT and pull to engage (I believe the AP will try and hold the altitude at which you went into ALT, not when you pulled so, make sure to only do this once at your desired altitude - which it sounds like you are). One other thing, have you tried engaging the AP first and then selecting ALT (off the top of my head, I can’t remember which sequence I did it in)?
I hope that helps a little? Let me know if I’ve completely missed the mark haha.
Cheers and all the best!
P.s. If you don’t mind me asking, were you flying the Devon with the RAF then, or someone else? (That’s another Just Flight addon that I would really like to see brought over to MSFS : )
Hi. I eventually got my head around the beam compass and use it as you have written above. The AP altitude hold was just me not realising that as well as turning the knob to ALT you had to pull it up as well. I was hoping that there would be a HOTAS key bind that would enable me to to rotate the card similar to the way we move the HDG bug but Just Flight didn't seem to think it was possible. My Devon flying was with the Royal New Zealand Air Force around 1975. I managed 40 hours flying the Devon after 140 hours on the Harvard. Unfortunately my IF was not up to the required standard so that was that. I continued in the RNZAF as an aircraft engineer. I retired two years ago after returning to the RNZAF as a civilian technical support engineer involved with maintenance of the Kaman Super Seasprite.@@IntotheBlueSimulations
Great Peter, happy to hear that you got things sorted / figured out.
Thanks for sharing your story! It’s always very interesting to hear everyone’s backgrounds etc; it sounds as though you still had a long and (I suspect) fulfilling career with the RNZAF : )
I hope you had a brilliant Christmas. Cheers once again!
My last experience of flight SIM was back in 2004.
I never took it very seriously. Just flew about and didn't bother with ATC etc.
Watching this has pushed me to get the sim again.
Hopefully my 5800x3D and 6700XT will provide a reasonable experience.
Love that mate! I have fond memories of fs2004
@@Wilber913❤❤
I've never seen a flight simulator ever
So this is
WOOOHOOOWWWWLLLLLLLLLLLL 😮😊😂❤❤❤
Haha well, that’s awesome, Lee! I’m really glad this video has inspired you to give flight simming another go.
All things beings equal, FS2004 is one of my favourite sims of all time. Of course, it doesn’t hold up particularly well by todays standards but, I loved the historical aspect to it, the missions etc. I do hope you enjoy MSFS!
Happy flying and all the best : )
Oh hell yeah baby!!! One of the finest aircraft in the JF Product Line. Though I still have the P3D version which is still fun to fly for me. But if ever I moved to MSFS, this version would be instant acquisition for me.
My first airshow was Finningley in 1977. Part of that was a Vulcan scramble. 4 aircraft sitting on the QRA pan. They did the full scramble and went from cold to airborne in a couple of minutes!! The sound was incredible! You could literally feel it in your soul.
After they left, the other jets, Tornado, Jaguar, some heavy Americans all sounded quiet! 😂
Bravo. Now the punters are happy, I wonder if Just Flight could consider a tanker, enabling re-enactments of the Falklands run?!
It is possible to configure the Vulcan as a tanker and to simulate in-flight refuelling of the Vulcan with this release - the EFB does it!
Hi Tom,
As William points out, you can actually configure the Vulcan as a tanker haha, though I haven’t tried to see just how functional the whole process is (I don’t believe A2A refuelling is doable in MSFS but, I think the tablet will allow you to take on fuel at a realistic rate and whether or not you keep the aircraft in the correct position, is up to you). A Victor or something would be great though : )
Cheers, all the best!
Hi William,
Have you tried A2A refuelling with the Vulcan at all? How functional is the whole process (I haven’t had a chance to play around with it yet)?
Cheers, all the best : )
Another vote for the Mach Loop runs here!
Haha, cheers Steve!
I love(d) making the Mach Loop series. Sadly, the vids were never all that popular, which wasn’t an issue in of itself but, when a video does poorly, the RUclips algorithm punishes future videos also (it’s a real shame that RUclips works the way it does, it really discourages one from making videos for fun, or trying something a little bit different. . .). Anyway, never say never, I might still bring the series back one day. . . ; )
Many thanks and all the best! : )
11:46 Excellent demonstrator. But why did it had a Mach meter, if it didn't even reached 1 Mach? I would like to know. Thank you.
Cheers, Michael. I know why the aircraft had a Mach meter; the Vulcan was originally designed as a high altitude bomber and up at altitude, Mach number typically becomes more limiting. I’m pretty sure at altitude, Vulcan crews would have flown a specific Mach number, as opposed to an IAS (it’s generally the same on a commercial airliner). Why the Vulcan’s Mach meter goes to 1.3 I have no idea haha. Perhaps the aircraft was capable of Mach 1 in a dive, or perhaps (knowing the UK haha), the gauge was just the part they had available at the time.
All the best! : )
P.S, having just done a little more reading, it seems that the latter was in fact true. The Mach meter was a “stock” gauge, not specifically designed for the Vulcan. Apparently though, a crew did manage to get the Vulcan through the sound barrier (M1.03) on a test flight haha!
@@IntotheBlueSimulations thank so much!! Great work!
My pleasure! Cheers : )
I bet the Vatsim controllers are going to love dealing with hundreds of Vulcans taking off over the next few weeks, lol.
Those Vulcans would probably do the "QRA" scarmble, headed Eastbound against RedFor targets over Russia armed with either the Blue Steel missiles or the WE177 Tactical Nuclear bombs.. Lol

🫶🫶🤯🙈🤩🙌🙌😁💗👍🥳🥳🥳
Haha! True, Maegester although, those probably seem like the “good old days” now, given that all of those Vulcans (and their not dissimilar flight characteristics to a typical airliner) have since been replaced with F-14s! XD
All the best!
@@IntotheBlueSimulations ah yes, it's now the invasion of the Heatblur F-14s
You really need to get a 4K monitor/TV. 1080p on RUclips is a total mess and simply ruins the immersion.
This is lovely; given the advances in flight sim’s in recent time, one can only imagine how much better they will be in ten years time….
I know NC, the same thought has certainly crossed my mind; it will be very exciting to see what the future brings us (I can only imagine how amazing VR might be in another decade or so)!
Cheers and all the best : )
RAF Scampton Lincolnshire Was once the home of the Vulcan , Now sold out to put 2500 Gimmigrents on the Camp.
Is this coming to Xbox ??
We need better planes on Xbox
Hi Taged,
It is; Just Flight are using the PC release to iron out any bugs etc and then the aircraft will be making its way over to the Marketplace / console at a later date : )
I hope that helps. All the best!
I’d love to see a simulated strike with this model since it has the weapons available to it. I’m not sure of any more famous than the Falklands strike, so maybe one could be made up lol.
Amazing graphics.
I was stationed at RAF Waddington during the Vulcans time and as a Ground radio tech used to be positioned at the CADF or CRDF building at the threshold, during an alert they would take off 4 at a time on full thrust, then appeared to stand on their tails for an almost vertical climb out. I loved the smell of aviation fuel as they thundered down the runway.
Haha, very cool Robert; that must have been quite a sight (and racket)! I’m really glad the video brought back some good memories : )
Thanks for sharing and all the best!

I still haven’t had a chance to plug in my VR headset and give it a go yet. Now I have the conundrum (when I do find the time) of whether I choose the Vulcan, or the Tomcat, for my first flight (as a Brit, I feel dirty even having to think about it haha).
Happy flying, sir! : )
Absolutely enjoyed this aircraft. It takes me back to my youth watching them at air shows and, of course bombing Port Stanley Airport. What an aircraft.

Another great review adding to part 1. This is just a fabulous aircraft and one of my all-time favourites. 50’s to 60’s was a golden age for British aircraft. Hopefully, we’ll see more in MSFS in the future.
Thanks very much, Grae!
Indeed, the Vulcan was something special and it’s a real shame that we don’t make ‘em like that anymore (or make anything really haha). I’m certainly keeping my fingers crossed, that Just Flight will follow up with some more British classics (at least then we can preserve / enjoy them virtually).
Cheers once again! All the best : )
the Vulcan howl is probably the most terrifying sound in aviation. amazing monster machine.
It’s certainly a very unique and rather intimidating sound, Manny. I think the Stuka siren might also be in the running for “most terrifying” although, I suppose pound-for-pound, the Vulcan was a much more devastating machine. . .
Cheers, all the best!
This is amazing tech! Are there other aircraft in FS2020 with this much detail?
Hi JG,
Well, it’s taken a while but, we are starting to see more and more addons of this fidelity, coming into MSFS, yes. The Vulcan is certainly right up there but, most of Just Flight’s products are done to a similar standard. We also have Fenix, PMDG, Heatblur, A2A, etc; we really are getting rather spoilt for choice at this point : )
Cheers and all the best!
Another great video and as always, extremely accomplished and precise flying. I also like the way you take the trouble to learn the aircraft properly before you make your videos, unlike some content creators. Just a quick question about the reduced control authority at high speed: does the Vulcan actually reduce the travel of the control surfaces at high speed in order to protect them from aerodynamic damage, or is the reduced authority simply a natural consequence of the higher speed?
The pitch 'feel' is artificially reduced by the square of the speed. In roll, the stick force is constant but the amount of deflection available is decreased gradually from 150kts. It was built into the sim using the graphs from the Vulcan Servicing Manual.
Thank you very much Stephen, I’m really glad you enjoyed the video!
I try to do my homework ahead of a review haha; partly, because it’s not really fair to review the product without some knowledge of how it’s supposed to work and also because, learning new aircraft is probably the thing that I most enjoy about simming (so the “study” is rarely a chore). People seem to appreciate me taking the time to learn an addon and I wouldn’t wish to go about things any other way,
Hopefully, Delta558’s post answers your question? He’s a member of the Just Flight team and the man responsible for the flight model so, he undoubtedly knows far more than I could ever tell you haha!
Cheers and all the best : )
Great video.. Mega effort from Just Flight.. Wonderful to see a Vulcan beating the Loop up.. Thanks for taking me back to the days when the Vulcan was tearing up Air Shows & setting car alarms off everywhere.. 🙌👍

@IntotheBlueSimulations
Hi
Yes I know
I was just thinking about where I'd want to take off from.
And being from Newark-upon-Trent
It's gotta be from
RAF Waddington
What an incredible experience
After watching your video a few times I managed to get the Vulcan started without aid and flew the Loch Ness route similar to your first flight video.
After multiple sessions with the Avro this felt like a big accomplishment 😅
This AC is fantastic! I love the JF Hawk but the Vulcan is eminently addictive to throw around.
Your videos are my first place to go when a new sim AC is released. They are best of their kind IMHO
🎉 🙏🏻
Haha. Having just caught up in the comments, I’m glad you now have the Vulcan figured out, Andy! As you say, it’s such a satisfying aircraft to try and master (did you see Nessie on your way over? ; )
I still love the Hawk but, despite the update, the flight model feels like it’s showing it’s age at this point (although, I do have another video I would like to record with the little T1); the Vulcan is indeed just a complete joy to fly.
I’m glad you found the video useful as a guide / tutorial. I try and make that the case by design, as I figure it gives the content a little bit more utility overall (especially as reviews videos have a relatively short shelf-life otherwise).
Many thanks again! Happy flying : )
@@IntotheBlueSimulations I sure kept an eye for Nessie as weather was mostly VFR on my flight. I am guessing for Scotland this is a rarity for this time of year to have favorable visibility.
I have to always set my sim local time to day as I fly in the am PST US and it is always late afternoon in UK at that time and getting dark.
Have you had any luck getting the Vulcan CG fuel transfer gauge to show proper ?
I am always nose heavy for some reason even at light fuel.
Wishing you a happy new year and great things for 2024 👍
Haha. Nice weather, in Scotland?? Clearly, Asobo still needs to do a little bit more work on the Live Weather system. . . XD
(To be fair, it’s rare but, Scotland on a nice day, is one of the most beautiful places I’ve ever been!).
For the CG gauge, you’ll notice there’s a little button next to it; according to Just Flight, the gauge is only supposed to read correctly with the button depressed (very odd but, it is a British design so, I’m not too surprised haha). I think the gauge was primarily used for A2A refuelling (I spent a long time with the P3D Vulcan, trying to figure out why my CG was always off ha).
I hope that helps, Andy. Cheers!
Little point in modelling the rear cockpit. As my Vulcan nav colleagues have said, you couldn’t see anything for all the cigar smoke !
Haha! Well, fair enough Chris; I will be happy to forego any modelling of the rear cockpit, if Just Flight provides each customer with a complimentary box of cigars ; )
Cheers and all the best for 2024!

I am most certainly due another outing in Concorde! I did start prepping a flight in the DC Designs Concorde the other day but, that thing is pretty broken at the moment. . . Perhaps, I’ll take a look at the Colimata Concorde, this time in X-Plane 12 (some time in 2024 haha).

Hi TB500,
I was planning on having a PC-12 video out by now (and spent quite a bit of time recording with the aircraft) but, I had a few issues with the addon and that rather threw a spanner in the works. I’m waiting on the next hotfix and I’ll most likely record a review thereafter.
Cheers, all the best!
Where can I get this?
Hi SMB,
At the moment, the Vulcan is only available from the Just Flight website. The addon will be coming to the in-sim Marketplace at a later date though.
I hope that helps. All the best!
I use to fly from Teesside airport in light aircraft back in the early eighties and there used to be to be an annual air show. Being a member of Cleveland flying school we use to get free admission. The Vulcan made a couple of appearances both landing and taking off and I managed to get a great picture of it during its takeoff roll just as it lifted off.
I live in Sunderland and we had a yearly air show for around 10-15 years before covid struck and it was cancelled. The Vulcan made appearances and what a magnificent sight to see flying slow at low level We have an aircraft museum here and have a Vulcan in it. The aircraft actually landed just outside the museum as we had an airport then called Usworth airport which now as been long gone, the site now being the home to the Nissan car manufacturer. Sadly in 1971 a Vulcan crashed just south of Sunderland at a little village called Wingate. The crew had baled out and the pilotless plane hit the ground in a field just behind the local co-op store, luckily no one was injured.
Forgot to mention, I was lucky enough to get in the Vulcan after the museum closed to the public. My daughter who was studying aeronautical engineering at university use to volunteer there during the summer break and got the bosses permission to let me in it. It was brilliant
Ahh well, that makes two of us then James (I’ve flown out of Teeside a few times haha)! Actually, on one of my trips there, whilst I was grabbing some lunch, there were some Belgian (I seem to recall) F-16 pilots, holding over at Teeside, before heading off to perform at the airshow : )
I’m really glad the video brought back some nice memories and I can only hope, that my daughter will one day be as sporting as yours haha.
Thanks very much for sharing and all the best to you and the family!
Just bought it and I am happily flying it. The engine howl sounds perfect with the true Vulcan howl. In my childhood I lived less than 500m away from a whole Vulcan Squadron and I still can play replay it in my mind ... very nostalgic! Thanks for the 2nd video.

Well, I thought it was a nice compromise haha. I’ve got others telling me that they don’t want the coal hole and that it’s inappropriate for me to suggest it being added, at the risk of increasing the price of the addon. It’s certainly a part of the aircraft that I would love to see but, realistically, more work does mean more costs, that Just Flight are going to pass onto the customer. The Vulcan is very reasonably priced so, I don’t think it would be totally unfair to charge another £10 for the rear cockpit (even then, the addon would be cheaper than it’s P3D / XP counterparts) and let the customer decide whether they want it or not.
At the end of the day, it was only a suggestion and one which was probably pretty academic, given that I don’t believe Just Flight have plans to do anything of the sort haha.
Cheers, all the best : )
Don't think your point about a rear cockpit being modelled is valid at all. Its a flight sim, you don't even need the rear cockpit, msfs doesn't even support all the original operations in the rear cockpit, you get the necessary panels for FLYING. I get so you can have a look around but honestly get real, what do you expect for the price it is. It's a slight trade off they made to keep the price lower and most people no doubt would rather have it that way. We're not all highly paid airline pilots.
and with less rear cockpit you get better performance
I've never played nor watched a single flight simulator game/ review Ever.
So are you saying you can actually look behind back into the Coal hole 😮
Whatever
This simulator is INCREDIBLE
Hi Iceman,
Well, that’s fair enough; we all have our own opinions of course but, literally the next comment after yours, was someone saying that the product is “incomplete” without the rear section modelled haha (which I don’t particularly agree with either). Just goes to show, that we all have different ideas / expectations.
I fully understand why the rear cockpit section wasn’t included and I’m more than happy if Just Flight want to keep costs down / make the product more affordable (which I gather, is exactly why this decision was made). My job doesn’t come into it; I want as many people to be able to enjoy the Vulcan / sim / hobby as possible. That’s why I simply *suggested* that it might make for a nice little *optional* paid update (I really don’t see the harm?). Whether or not the rear cockpit was just added for show, I know there are many others that would like to see it as well. . .
Either way, I think this whole discussion is pretty academic; I don’t think Just Flight has plans to do anything of the sort haha.
All the best
Hi HH,
I did think that also but, I’m not sure that FPS would be an issue in this particular case; each section could still be separated from one another (via the curtain) and therefore only rendered when the user is viewing that particular cockpit section (I could be wrong on that one though).
All the best!
Haha well, that’s what’s being discussed, Graham: The Vulcan doesn’t come with the coal hole modelled / included. I suggested that it might be something that’s nice to have but, not everybody agrees with me (and fair enough).
Cheers, all the best! : )
