Here is a selection of low-level shots I took of Alphasim's Jaguar GR.3A [of 6 Squadron RAF] - undertaking some traditional low-level practice around the Lake District.
Jaguar pilots have always flown lower than anyone else-im going to miss them roaring over my house when the type is retired from RAF service next year. Sad

This was part of a pack including the T.4 trainer variant. Its been out a while now but its still my faivourite Virtual Jaguar out there - i love the VC on it too! Smiley

[Incidentally this is my first screenshot post since getting my Alienware  8) - lemme know what you think]

Nice shots, where you from m8, the lakes? Only asking because I used to live in Keswick. Some nice MB rides around Grizedale as well.

A unique yet seriously underpowered aeroplane if there ever was one. Its a very nice model, and I'd love to have the skill to give it a Real Air Sim quality flight model (staggering into the air, and vibrating like a supercharged washing machine), which is where it really lacks realism. Smiley

I'd be very surprised if it could - i'd expect that full power would have to be applied very early as the Adour has a very slow spool up time (7-8 secs), which would required very good judgement...

the only thing to remember would be, it would be pretty light returning to the ship.

Still probably looking at a rotate speed of around 160kts (one trip I took in January (cold, relatively damp) had a rotate speed of 180ish kts).And the Jag doesn't do single engine performance, even when it's light, and I particularly doubt on short see bound runways.... Smiley

On the back of that there would probably be a beefier (ie heavier) airframe too...

Quite nice shots. However, I dont particularly like Alphasim. I bought  their C-5 and being used to the likes of PMDG and Carenado, it was like someone kicked sand in my face.  Angry

Wake up and smell the coffee!  Grin
