FSX basic VC-views for Harrier package (AV8C-HarrierGR3.zip) with seven views. This addon provides very simple and non functional VCs for all versions of the package. The look around views are better than nothing but do not expect real VCs. Configuration by erwin Welker.

This is an update of the Alpha F-101C Voodoo
for FSX. I have changed the afterburner
effects, updated the flight dynamics, and
changed the gauges on both panels so the
panels work in both FS9 and FSX. This is
only for FSX as some things, like the smoke,
won't work properly in FS9. See my other
update for FS9.

This interior .mdl file has been modified to remove the much-hated, inaccurate and useless rear-view mirrors mounted on the canopy bow of the original model. This overall plane is spectacular and, being easy on frame rates, makes a first rate high performance formation machine in multiplayer - especially for those of us who like to honor the valor of our predecessors by mastering the technology of the 50's and 60's.
We hope you enjoy the increase in forward visibility, making it easier to execute rejoins and hold position in formation. As with all things, this mod is a compromise: you'll find that the throttle has also disappeared, an unavoidable consequence. We found we never look down at the throttle in flight, we just move our hand and use the gauge for power. I'm guessing you're probably the same, and will benefit from the mod.
To install, navigate to your F-105D folder in the aircraft directory of FSX or P3D, then open the "model" folder within that. Backup your "ALPHA_F-105_interior.mdl" file. You may simply copy this new ALPHA_F-105_interior.mdl file into your F-105 directory now, overwriting the original (assuming you backed it up elsewhere).
If you find you like this mod, let me know. If it appears there is a need, we'll post more of our performance mods driven by our real-world fighter guys for planes we've flown. We've benefitted from all the good work of others in the flight sim community, and would enjoy the opportunity to give back.

For the AlphaSim/Virtavia freeware F-105D Thunderchief - we are a group of ex-USAF fighter pilots who enjoy the formation and tactical aspects of FSX/P3D in multiplayer mode. Our small group of real-world Thud pilots helped us modify the config and air files to more accurately replicate the real Thud in certain parts of its envelope. Examples: thrust curve now approximates the J75, and speed brakes have correct drag profile. For those of you who appreciate military accuracy, you can now fly the Thud on approach at 190 knots, dirty with boards out, and 96% throttle will hold. Or, execute the dive bombing profile the Thud used over North Vietnam - as those pilots did, boards out in a 45 deg dive from 12K, A/B in all the way (if the Thud was hit, A/B couldn't always be engaged - hence the hedging by engaging A/B early and using boards to maintain correct speed in dive).
One piece of tactical advice: the Thud is no dogfighter, but it is The Supreme Drag Racer. Unloaded with burner down low, nothing can catch it. Keep an eye on the fuel gauge, know where your tankers are.
We've also removed the clutter in the interior model for better sim forward visibility (who doesn't loath those crazy rear-view mirrors?) - look for that one to be posted soon.
"No Guts, No Glory."
