It's very... very good.
Takes me back 44 years!
I worked with Vulcan's at Scampton late 70's - early 80's.
Things I've picked up so far.
No nose wheel steering rod that come through the top of the V in the upper nose wheel leg (picky).The inside of the upper nose wheel doesn't look quite right (too recessed) and there is a small door on the inside of the right V section for ground crew headset plug-in (picky).
Nose wheel bay textures appear not correct and there are some gauges (hydraulic pressure) not shown. There is a small gauge back wall from memory) with 2 needles, when the down (6 o'clock) the brakes are off, when they're apart, the brakes are on. Now that's hyper picky (not expecting a working gauge!! But a texture for it would be nice), but you have done such a super job of this it would be nice to have everything bang on.
Outside upper left there are bomb bay cut-in textures. From memory all ours had reference to 'foam lance' entry point. The foam lance being a 2-2.5m (or so) huge metal hollow spike. When an aircraft landed on its belly we could force the foam lance through that indicated area and fill the bomb bay with foam. It was more for the foam lance than a cut-in (if you know - it's annoying!).
Nav Light Reflections, I've not checked mine but they never reflected inside in air intakes or on the nose as much as I've seen online... but will check mine.
Rear positions - can we have some dummy panels (textures)? The whole of the back was gauge and switch city, it looks so sparse and ruins the immersion.
I've been inside 'a lot' of Vulcans, including shutting the odd one down during emergency training or when on exercise, I don't recall ever seeing a centre console in an operational aircraft so beaten up... but it has been over 40 years! (Personally I think it's over done).
Textures to grey.
This may be an issue at my end.
2d appears to be ok, but I fly VR.In VR all the black interior appears slightly grey when it should be black... it isn't right, and the rear positions the walls are an even lighter grey.
As I said it might be my end so intend on investigating over the next few days.
Reverb G2 RTX4090.
As I have said you've done a fantastic job. I took it out for a flight on the first night and it took me back over 40 years... very emotional.
I have had all your Vulcans for MSFS and XPlane... with this one, you've knocked it out of the park.
Bravo!

Can we assume that the one we're flying has had 40 years worth of wear? :D
