I suspect this won't be compatible with TacPack? Can anyone confirm?

One of the best preview videos I've seen. Best part? No music, just engine sounds. Great camera work.

Since the release of the video, there has been much finessing including the correction of rear canopy frame to clear perspex (for the eagle-eyed), angle of boarding ladder, new ejection seat and harness, remodeled nose and gun-chute area and a heck of a lot more. Systems -wise you'll have electrical/manual tail-feathers, automatic payload adjustment to flight characteristics, auto cold-dark setup selection and more.

The materials are designed to suit the model.

Interesting and well done video.

The aircraft sound suite as portrayed is quite evocative....I think. I've never had the chance to see or hear a real Hawker Hunter. Do they actually have that low howl as they come toward you?

If so, great capture, very distinctive.

Okay. I'm ready. Enough hype. Enough screenshots and videos. Bring it on.

Impressive video indeed ! Mike

Do they actually have that low howl as they come toward you?

It's been a while, but I'd say so. It was certainly a distinctive sound.

Beautiful !
But the canopy glass still looks terrible. Not the shape, the transparency. We almost can't see the pilot through it.
The canopy is not supposed to be opaque, not even milky.

Here is how it looks like in the video:

And here is how it looks like in real life:

Or did they simulate the canopy fogging ?

**bazzar** · February 10th, 2017, 13:31

The video was produced before the glazing was adjusted.

Here are a couple of shots of the current canopy.

Quick question, will there be a period helmet by chance? Sorry if this has been asked already...here or elsewhere.

**bazzar** · February 10th, 2017, 19:40

As far as I am aware, it is a period helmet.

**Mach3DS** · February 10th, 2017, 19:51

Sweet! I couldn't tell on my screen...thanks for the reply!

The irony is the Hunter was in service for so long there are several "periods" for which there would be different helmets... and that is not counting different helmets used by non-UK operators!
