Among the former payware IRIS aircraft, now released as freeware on their site, is the British Aerospace EAP. The EAP was a test bed aircraft used to research technologies for a future European combat aircraft. It's no accident that the Eurofighter looks a lot like it.

Here's one in Tiger dress visiting Hill AFB, Utah. Dawn flight:

Hope you enjoyed them.

The 4th one !! Shocked

Be carefull with the IRIS birds: their original HUD gauge is a frame-rate killer. Fortunately, you can replace it with HUDs from other freeware planes (or the default F-18).

Also, the F-14 and F-15 have an afterburner gauge that keeps the throttle blocked at 100% in FSX. You can deactivate it by editing the panel.cfg, fortunately. I don't know if these modifications (HUD+throttle gauges) is already done in the packages that are uploaded into Simv or not...

Got bloom ?
Got mountains ?
Got damage ?

It's quite dynamic, isn't it?

Thanks for the heads-up. I haven't noticed any drop but I'll keep it in mind for the future.

As far as this bird is concerned, that's not an issue. In fact, I wish there was a way to tell, when you were about to engage the AB. I'll keep the fix for the F-14 & -15 in mind.

It's a beauty. Everything in it is almost perfect, from the view angle to the colors and how the background looks. It's almost a picture. It's great Cool

Thank you. There was one other which was similar but, of the two, I felt this was the more powerful.

Andy, thank you.

And Daube, here's the one that didn't make the cut followed by one that I grabbed this morning:

Thanks. I've been spending what "flying" time I have lately in this aircraft (or one of it's varients). It's quite photogenic.

The one that had been cut, although having an interesting contrast, does not look as good as its equivalent in the original serie of shots.
But the last one is brilliant. Cool

From the manual.

We found that the large number of gauges applied to the VC was causing stress to the systems.(contrary to the Popular belief that the complexity of the gauge programming has little to no effect to the on the fps issue.

Most people think that flying a plane is dangerous, except pilots because they know how easy it is.
Arguing with a pilot is like wrestling with a pig in the mud, after a while you begin to think the pig likes it.

This was for FS9. This is not valid in FSX.
In fact, once the default HUD is gone, the FPS level of the IRIS birds becomes excellent.

Thanks! Since my sister relocated to that part of the world, oh, a lifetime ago, I find myself more and more drawn to it. I live in a world green with trees. She, obviously, does not.

I might try substituting HUDs at some point to see what happens.

HP111, thank you as well. Glad you liked them.
