The FlightSim Pilot Shop are now stocking the Flight1/AlphaSim Hawker Hunter.
The AlphaSim Hunter simulation is compatible with FS2004 with the FSX version including subtle reflectivity, bump mapping, self-shadowing and bloom and even signs of weathering. The static realization includes the cockpit ladder engine covers and pitot tags. The speedbrake is restricted to operate only with wheels up, just as in the real Hunter.
The simulation covers 7 unique variants and 8 texture sets including the Black Arrows, and the famous Swiss air force examples where the pilots were often part-time and the runways empty motorways!
Looking into the cockpit the auto-animated avatar even has correct insignia on his arm patches.
Once started the high quality sound rendition of the Rolls Royce Avon is unmistakable. Starting produces exhaust smoke which settles to the turbine glow.

This new photo realistic scenery package covers over 3,000 square miles of high resolution night and day textures of Copenhagen, Denmark. This is an awesome Flight Simulator X add on that will cause a very enjoyable experience as you fly through this remarkable city. This is a very frame rate friendly scenery.

It’s unusual for AlphaSim to announce their products before release, but looking at the screenshots of their upcoming T-34C Turbo Mentor, I can see why they’ve done so this time - it looks stunning!
This all-new rendition of the ever-popular T-34C will be available at AlphaSim very soon. The screenshots show the stunning FSX version, which is full-FSX standard with all the features). The high-detail v-c (front and rear) will feature AlphaSim’s RealGauge technology. A soundset is included.
FS9 version available also.
