Hawker Hunter package 4.85/5

The iconic Hawker Hunter, designed by Sir Sydney Camm, now available for MSFS. Containing 10 different models, the Prototype, F2, F3, F4, F6, FGA.9, FR10, GA11, PR11 & Mk.58, with a total of 22 paint schemes. Custom coded animations and systems, custom soundpack...

Hawker Hunter package for Microsoft Flight Simulator (MSFS)

Simple drag and drop installation.

Package contains 10 different marks, and a total of 22 paint schemes.

The models have different drop tank options, depending on type as follows:

Prototype - Internal fuel only
F2 - Inner 100g tanks
F3 - Internal fuel only
F4 - Inner 100g tanks
F6 - Inner & outer 100g tanks
FGA9 - Inner 100 or 230g & outer 100g tanks
FR10 - Inner 100 or 230g & outer 100g tanks
GA11 - Inner & outer 100g tanks
PR11 - Inner & outer 100g tanks
Mk.58 - Inner 100 or 230g & outer 100g tanks

Note! These capacities are Imperial Gallons, not US gallons as used by the sim. See below for adding fuel.

To display the tanks the payload stations must have the correct weight:

155lbs - pylon only
160lbs - pylon with 100g tank
165lbs - pylon with 230g tank.

Fuel must be set to suit in the payload editor:

Inner 100g tanks - Fill to 120g
Inner & outer 100g tanks - Fill to 240g
Inner 230g only - Fill to 276g
Inner 230 & outer 100g - Fill to 396g

Unfortunately there is no way to automatically adjust the fuel levels without using WASM.
The fuel gauges and tooltips in the cockpit are calibrated for AVTAG fuel which has a different density to Jet-A as used in the sim, so will show different values to the in-sim payload editor.

Later models include a TACAN receiver, which if switched on commands the needles on the HSI. If the TACAN is switch off, the needles indicate VOR information from NAV 1.

Enjoy!

Hi Dave, cannot begin to thank you enough for this magnificent achievement, you truly are a genius and one of many that are the heart and soul of FS 2020. Loading, setting up and flying was a dream with very few issues save for a few minor hiccups. I have added the speed brake operation to my saitek throttle controller. The very first job I ever did on any aeroplane was at RAF St Athan, December 1973 in the training school when I removed and replaced a speed brake actuator on a Hunter. I felt so pleased with myself on a job which was to become a career lasting just over 48 years. Please know your contribution is much appreciated by this old boy as it is rightfully so by countless others. Great work Dave, and again a massive thank you

For a freeware product this is incredible, external and interior modelling is superb, loads of different versions to choose from, lots of working switches in the cockpit, good sounds (shame we don't get the famous blue note, wonder if that can be worked in at some point?) My first flight I had a bit of an issue with the aircraft constantly rolling to the right, my second flight it was doing the same, until something happened, I did not do anything in the cockpit but suddenly just started flying straight and level and after that she was a joy to fly I am hoping that it will continue to handle like that with subsequent flights. Certainly better than some payware aircraft.

Massive thanks to Dave and his team for giving the flight sim community this beauty.

This is a really good freeware aircraft. I have spend hours flying the Hawker Hunter at low level through the Swiss Alps it was a lot of fun. Really enjoy seat of the pants flying. Thanks.

A small note: Could you add your information on the drop tanks to your pilots notes pdf in a future update.

DaveWG 2 day(s) ago

Yes, I'll do that.

Lots of fun to fly, but I am getting a lot of stuttering, even though I have a high performance machine and a 3080 card. Also, getting artifacts popping up in cockpit view.

Passinthru 3 day(s) ago

Getting severe stuttering here as well, only with this a/c. After the engine is started I get severe CPU spikes and the whole sim freezes every 2 seconds or so. It continues until I exit to the main menu, switch planes. and start a new flight.

Dave you're a total genius! What a great looking aircraft. OK so I've always loved it, around it a lot in Switzerland and since preserved around the world, and this is a fantastic modelling. I've spent a lot of time in 'my hanger' already closely looking around and the attention to detail is wonderful. Took her out to Interlaken, for some photos against the mountains, as you will know, home of the Swiss air force repair facilities for the MK58s in years gone by. One crashed into the Rugen hill near the end of the runway many years ago sadly killing the pilot. Not being a very good pilot I don't quite know how I might make her a little less sensitive (for my own useless flying) and for a short moment I felt sad I couldn't change the aircraft call sign. But you've got to be congratulated Dave. Big time! Thanks for making the sim tons more exciting. Aeroplane Heaven are doing similar for me with their DC3 in November! I should add Interlaken Military airfield, as a disused airfield, was recently removed by the powers that be, only to brilliantly replaced by another dev here. I have added news of your Hunter on their addon page.

Great Plane, had to fly with the top open though, I just could not figure out how to close it, can someone help me?

XR219 4 day(s) ago

If you look over your left shoulder you’ll see the canopy. If you click on the runner at the bottom it will slide closed 😊

Thanks! That did it 😊

After the update I must upgrade my previous 4.5 stars to +5. The flight dynamic is excellent. Both exterior and interior are exquisite and the attention to details is mind blowing. I fly mostly in VR and I’ve encountered none of the problems mentioned by others, besides the slightly aft position in the cockpit. Looking aft over the wing and the beautifully detailed external fuel tanks while maneuvering at low level makes you really appreciate VR. This aircraft is a must for every fast flying fan.

Thank you so much for this wonderful package! Hopefully more repainters will pay attention to this popular aircraft.

Low res pilot visible on screen as well as vr 😞

strange as he comes and goes. I find. Myself behind him trying to look through his black visor

XR219 4 day(s) ago

I’ts not something I’ve experienced, but it is a documented Asobo bug. The pilot model should not be displayed in the internal model, and is being fixed in SU10. As its not something I have experienced, I’m guessing it comes when you adjust the viewpoint?

DaveWG 4 day(s) ago

It's an acknowledged Asobo bug, where the exterior model gets displayed at the same time as the interior. Can happen in multiplayer when another aircraft of the same type is being shown. It's due to be fixed in SU10, but I'm going to look at a possible work around in the meantime.

DaveWG 2 day(s) ago

I think I've found a solution that seems to work ok, just need to run some more tests to check for any unwanted side effects.

This is just incredible. Always loved flying this in FSX and now love it even more in MSFS! Thank you so much. Any chance you'll be doing the 2 seater as was in fsx?

DaveWG 4 day(s) ago

Yes, the 2 seaters will be coming at some point, although work on those hasn't started yet so it'll be a while.

Fantastic model both inside and outside, thank you. I have a minor problem when a low resolution pilot keeps popping in and out of the cockpit. Anyway to resolve this ?.

XR219 5 day(s) ago

Is this in VR? Apparently Asobo are addressing this in SU10 as he shouldn’t be visible at all in VR mode.

I cant find the parking brake and its driving me loony!!! Having said that I hit every button on my key paid and went off rocketing upwards from Duxford. But its from some of the best designers to ever create for the flight sim sites and in msfs2020 the textures etc look spectacular so I'll keep poking the numberpad until I find it. It has to be there doesnt it?

XR219 5 day(s) ago

Just use the button you have assigned to the parking brake. I think the default keyboard assignment is “.”

freddielaker2 4 day(s) ago

I have used my foot pedals so far so now I can assign something to brakes. Thanks so much.

Flying from summits to summits, diving into valleys and cloud surfing is this pack's offering. Hours of fun ahead.

V1.1 switch to adjust both fuel quantity and tanks under the wings is, to my opinion, a great improvement, better than having to remember which value entering as payload.

Highly recommended pack.

This is really great, thanks for making this! Could I give some feedback? When in VR, it's clear that the model is too large - the cockpit is absolutely huge! Having sat in a real one, I can vouch that it's pretty cramped! And a minor point is that the eye position in VR is too far back. Hope you can fix these in an update 😊

DaveWG 5 day(s) ago

The model dimensions are correct, so I don't know why its appearing too large in VR.

I'll look into it, but I don't think there's much I can do about it I'm afraid.

FarFutureFox 5 day(s) ago

Thanks. Other aircraft are fine, so I hope it's possible to fix. Do you have VR?
