Amazing attentioan to detail! Obviously these folks take pride in the models they design. I would strongly recommend this beauty to any fan of Avro or anyone interested in the history of British aviation.

I've always loved the Vulcan since the first time I saw it at an airshow - this one is absolutely spot on. The shape and form of the plane are as you would expect, what really made it for me was the attention to detail. Opening the crew hatch and watching the ladder descend, opening the bomb-bay doors in flight and examining all of the internals - even the extra fuel tank.
Best of all, wind up the Bristol-Siddeley (later Rolls-Royce) Olympus 301's to full power on the runway, speakers up nice and loud - sound is EXACTLY as I remember it. So's the clouds of black smoke coming out of those engines when they're turned up.
Amazing thing is that those engines still needed to be upgraded with afterburners when they fitted them to Concorde.
Overall, excellent value for money and highly recommended for those that want a high-quality change from commercial jets - looks good on 27L at EGLL.

Pros:
|
Interesting 1950's autopilot.
|
|
Cons:
|
Got to start with centre tank empty.
|
|
Not up to the usual PSS high standards as they kept quiet about the centre tank bug (still don't think it has been fixed on the download version even after a year).
Great to hand-fly though. Download some H-bomb effects from www.geocities.com and go and nuke some targets in the former WARPAC nations.

I have ony one thing to say....Go buy it! Great frame rates and realistic VC and 2D cockpit! I had great joy in flying it non stop for the past 3 weeks in FS2002! Well done Phoenix! If you buy this you will contribute to the restore Vulcan cause also! Also it has one of the best looking plane and sound sets around.
Like the Pringles advertisement...One you Pop you just cant stop.....
Regards,
Darren
