VH-KDK Posted April 30, 2016 Share Posted April 30, 2016 Saw some shots of the new JF Mosquito and decided to put this on my birthday list. Being very strong willed after about 15 seconds I caved in and brought it Not a bad plane at all and I am now able to fly a Mossie in the ORBX world as up until now I only had an excellent freeware one in FSX. 1. So my first flight out of Palm Spring and one thing was soon very evident, the JF Mosquito only has Rotax 912 engines. 2. My old 1999 AU Falcon sounds more like a Mosquito than this. 3. So after importing a suitable freeware sound pack it is over to KTEX. Yes I was going to put a limit on what FS products I brought but that great idea lasted only 2 weeks 4. Listen carefully. THOSE are Merlins. 5. There is a view out of the window for Andy. Buy it Andy, this is a classic British aircraft. 6. Climbing effortlessly past some magnificent KTEX mountains. 7. A view over the shoulder, I forgot to see if the Very Pistol works. 8. Just cant get enough of those Merlins. The Missus has left the room so crank up the volume. 9. The beautiful lines of the Wooden Wonder. 10. Just behind the rear port nacelle is an AI aircraft. 11. After flying for a minute I realised I was catching it and it turned out to be a nice C-130. "g'day chaps!" 12. Two of the most recognisable and famous aircraft built flying together at FL300. 13. Another view out of the window. 14. One last look and time to head for home. I like the Mossie but surely JF could do better with the sound. They produce some great planes only to spoil them with shocking sound sets. For me sound is important!

Stillwater Posted April 30, 2016 Share Posted April 30, 2016 Great birthday present you got yourself, Martyn. And good to hear the Missus left the room so that you could make use of the freeware sound. Unfortunate your good budgeting idea was lost after only two weeks. But, hey, we are staying on the planet for only a few decades, so have fun in that time! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I brought tonight the wife has had a torrid evening. May as well buy what I want as you cannot take it with you.

RJ Posted April 30, 2016 Share Posted April 30, 2016 Although you can't hear the sound, this aircraft looks great. Maybe your images made it even better. Anyway, this one will have to wait for a while. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bernd1151 Posted April 30, 2016 Share Posted April 30, 2016 I love these wonderful moments where we realize that our virtual hangar is too full and we decide to wait for a couple of months before we buy some more stuff. And then bang...within seconds we forget all about it, gladly fork out the plastic and actually feel damn good about it. I know at this very moment at least four planes that I do not need, but I will buy for sure once they will come out. Come on Carenado and Milviz, get your act together and bring it on. NOW!! So, Marty, congrats to your latest addition to the stable, may you have many happy flights with it. Re the sound I know exactly what you mean. I also switch sounds from other planes so to get the feeling that I hear what I want to listen to Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Voyager Posted April 30, 2016 Share Posted April 30, 2016 As there are few days for your Birthday, not bad you have already anticipated your gift. Excellent purchase. So you can post great shots here. I also noticed that your shots are more color depth, very good indeed. Voyager Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adam Banks Posted April 30, 2016 Share Posted April 30, 2016 I agree about the sound pack ... "Rotax" says it all! I also dug out some old freeware twin Merlin sounds from my artchive HD. I wish I knew where they originally came from! Apart from that, though - I love it!!! Adam. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
olderndirt Posted April 30, 2016 Share Posted April 30, 2016 When they sound like a couple of lawn mowers, you wonder about the thoroughness of the beta testing. Nice self b'day present - often they're the best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

andy1252 Posted April 30, 2016 Share Posted April 30, 2016 Nice pix, Martyn, and congratulations! As Mr Wilde said "I can resist anything except temptation" (or something along those lines). And thanks for the cockpit shot, but I think it's just confirmed my feelings, so I bought a Chipmunk instead! But it's a fine looking beast, for sure, and I'm sure you'll be forming your own 633 Squadron (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=su5JWj8Wlec) dahn under in short order!

I have been helping another community member with something which has taken a while due to my terrible computer lack of knowledge. Anyway you have saved me trying to find where I got it from. Beautiful sound set isn't it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patrick Cox Posted May 1, 2016 Share Posted May 1, 2016 The issue of the sounds were raised during testing including the issue of different volumes for each engine. There is an update for the props and paint kit posted over at the SOH. I also copied the CBFS freeware Mosquito sounds to the JF one. Also the CBFS freeware Mosquito flys well in both FSX and P3D.

Thanks Oldern, funnily enough someone commented on Ants Trojan saying it sounded like a lawnmower. I had to let them know that that is how they sound but the Mossie of course is different.

Great point about the design too, a bit like the Jaguar radiator grille which like deHavilland has disappeared too!
