mutley 4,498 Posted April 10, 2011 Report Share Posted April 10, 2011 Nice aircraft, out soon :001_th_smiles89: Link to post Share on other sites
simi_av8r 0 Posted April 10, 2011 Report Share Posted April 10, 2011 the question is Mut, what's the sound pack and VC like? I have a very soft spot for the British Golden Age Jet Airliners so i'd be on the purchasing list as customer number one if these areas 'hit the nail on the head' Link to post Share on other sites
mutley 4,498 Posted April 10, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 10, 2011 The VC is probably one of the better ones to come out of the Airplane Heaven stable, I haven't really wound up the sound yet but will do this week, what I have heard so far has been good.

hurricanemk1c 195 Posted April 10, 2011 Report Share Posted April 10, 2011 I have been eagerly awaiting this! Looks stunning! Link to post Share on other sites
JD_LincsUK 0 Posted April 10, 2011 Report Share Posted April 10, 2011 I won't be getting it, I'm afraid - I am so mightily impressed by Dave Maltby's incredible freeware version (along with his other Brit Classics) that I feel buying a payware one would be like a slap in his face! Besides, his is so good, I don't need another one! :biggrin: and that, despite the fact it was made for FS9. JD His Trident 3: His BAC 1-11 475: and the VCs are incredibly good, too.

mutley 4,498 Posted April 10, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 10, 2011 JD, I am a fan of Dave Maltby's work as well, but he stopped developing nearly two years ago now and I think his last DH106 update was over 3 years ago. I think you will find this is a massive leap forward from DM's model and hardly a slap in the face, DM has chosen to leave the scene now. Don't write if off just yet, it hasn't even been released!

Cheers Joe I gotta admit Mut, the only thing between me and the AH Comet is (as JD points out) the fantastic freeware Comets from DH...although i've obtained several add-ons from other freeware sources to put some umpf into the sound package and also upgrade the VC, so it's really not that bad at all now.....i'll be very interested to see what the review's are like like come release day for the AH version!

IcedUpPitotTube 0 Posted April 11, 2011 Report Share Posted April 11, 2011 Favorite vintage jet aircraft of all time. Even though it had a bad safety record. It looks like something from the future, even in this modern age. Very pleasing shots mutt. It would be very cool if this Comet would go in a review... Link to post Share on other sites
mutley 4,498 Posted April 11, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 11, 2011 Hi Andrew, It will be reviewed by one of our team, once it has reached the RTM version at least! Did you managed to get your post up together? Link to post Share on other sites
mike H 456 Posted April 11, 2011 Report Share Posted April 11, 2011 Hi Joe That is one Great looking shot, can't wait to get my hands on her. In my eyes she was one of the best looking a/c ever to grace the skies, my one regret is I never had the chance to fly in her. Link to post Share on other sites

rosariomanzo 545 Posted April 12, 2011 Report Share Posted April 12, 2011 How are the systems simulated, boss? Link to post Share on other sites
hurricanemk1c 195 Posted April 12, 2011 Report Share Posted April 12, 2011 Ros - the systems are simulated with bits of 35mm film, cogs and Meccano Link to post Share on other sites
mutley 4,498 Posted April 12, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 12, 2011 Funny Kieran! As it's still in development Ros I cannot comment except to say it's all good. (Sorry) When I am allowed I will try to post some more exclusive shots and you may get an idea Ciao! Link to post Share on other sites
rosariomanzo 545 Posted April 12, 2011 Report Share Posted April 12, 2011 Thank you, Joe. Standing by. Link to post Share on other sites
JD_LincsUK 0 Posted April 13, 2011 Report Share Posted April 13, 2011 Well, I couldn't fault the original DM soundsets, though it's a while since I've flown any as I've been busy with other things. However, yesterday I was flying the Simshed (freeware) Nimrod and the sounds for that are just awesome. So might be an idea, whether using this Comet or the DM version, to use those for it. You won't be disappointed! Of course, there are also Comet soundsets up at BritSim, too. JD Link to post Share on other sites
mutley 4,498 Posted April 14, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 14, 2011 A few more additions! Cheers Joe Link to post Share on other sites
simi_av8r 0 Posted April 14, 2011 Report Share Posted April 14, 2011 right...where's my credit card!?! Mut, i'm sending Mrs. Av8r round for an explanation from you as to why i'm spending money! Link to post Share on other sites
hurricanemk1c 195 Posted April 14, 2011 Report Share Posted April 14, 2011 Right, I'd better start saving, €15, €16...... Link to post Share on other sites
rosariomanzo 545 Posted April 14, 2011 Report Share Posted April 14, 2011 Really good looking. I hope the systems will be on par. Link to post Share on other sites
mutley 4,498 Posted April 14, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 14, 2011 To be honest guys, I would be at the front of the queue for this :001_th_smiles89: Link to post Share on other sites
stu7708 244 Posted April 15, 2011 Report Share Posted April 15, 2011 A good looking plane. I'm guessing it's the one that JF have as under development. I realise that you're under a NDA on this one, but I have to ask one thing that I think you should be able to answer without violating that. Is this part of JF:s F-Lite series, or more along the lines of the Connie as far as system simulation goes? Link to post Share on other sites
mutley 4,498 Posted April 15, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 15, 2011 It's being released as Comet Professional rather than F-Lite http://www.justflight.com/developProduct.asp?pid=526 Link to post Share on other sites
