Civilian cockpit.

Three models: Fighter, Fighter-bomber and civilian. Skins for both squadrons that operated the type. details here.
Suitable for both P3Dv5.2 and P3Dv4.5 -- and maybe FSX too.

This project is still very much in development.

The product isn't mine. The developer's parent company has -- along with so many others -- switched their interest to M$FS products.
I'm just trying to generate some interest.

Interest generated! :jump:

If that company has switched to MSFS, then I sincerely hope that they'll release if for that sim as well!

Loved the Whirlwind since CFS2 and this model looks gorgeous.

So add my name to Interested pile for P3D and FSX.

Classic Warbirds Design Team?
Whatever, any RAF aircraft that was operational from the UK within the time frame when the Whirlwind flew that looked like this would be SOC!
Any Ground Crew that had an aircraft in this condition would find themselves in serious trouble with the CWO.
'Weathering' should always be subtle, RAF squadrons took pride in their turn out.

Always an exception to the rule.
And I always think that overdone 'weathering' is far from TTL.

You're entirely correct -- it usually is. The Whirlwind had a hard war.

There were only ever the two Squadrons (137 & 263) of these -- a bit like the two Squadrons (41 & 91) that operated the LFMkXII Spitfire.

Ah, well. Update: TacPack has just been enabled.

I think I'm safe in saying that the development of this product is complete for P3Dv4/5. I can't comment about FSX.

The developer's company has yet to be persuaded to release this, though.
More as I get it.
