Still very hot this one. I got a red warning saying that the file hadn't been downloaded many times and could harm my computer (I love that)!!

A mere 30mins in the air and a few things struck me. I'm not convinced by the soundset (though others may love it).. it has the same prop effect as seen on the Birdcage which looks ok front to rear but a little odd when viewed rear to front (which others may also love) and the nav lights. Don't switch em on as the Luftwaffe will see you coming from Berlin!

I've only looked at the paint in the screenie and I like it a lot. No reason to believe the others aren't equally well done. It's also a lovely flyer so the battle is all but won. Not had a chance to look around the cockpit in great detail but it looks nice and is suitably worn. Someone over on the JF forums said that DG's model was too fat. Well this little lady is no slim-jim either

Will this file harm my computer.. hell no. Nice to see a decent fighter version

Bought, installed and flown for a short time.

WHAT a delight, finally a mossie that really flies like the Haynes manual decribes: NOT a 172 in a different skin. HUGE torque on take-off, difficult to control as it should. Quite a handfull; if you can't handle it it's you, not the aircraft. Twin throttle controls (Rhino X55) are now very handy. In flight handling and landing is easy just check and maintain correct speed.

The sound; perfect as it should: the propellor tips are VERY very close you can hear the tips speeding next to your ear with a different tone at different speeds. If fact the Haynes manual describes that when crash landing the pilot and navigator should pull their legs as far back as possible, feet and legs could be amputated by the props!

The Merlin engine sound as more subdued on the background. Sound from the outside is just the other way around. A beautifull worn cockpit, perhaps a bit too worn, lots of detail. My only remark: the prop textures observed from the inside (back/side) are way too heavy/solid. When I fly real world the prop is hardly visible from the back, just a bit shining in the sun. But a simple darkening of the alpha channel of the prop texture will solve it.

Very happy with this one, this is going to be my default aircraft for a long time.

Congratulations to JF and AH.

This model seems even fatter than DG's, especially around the nose. I live right near where the KA114 Mossie is based and have seen her fly many times so I know how a mosquito should look. The JF Mosquito just doesn't look quite right to me. Based on the screenshots I think I prefer DG's anyway. I just wish he would have come out with a solid nose version of his model so I could paint it up as KA114...
