This zip file contains only the textures. You will also need to download the freeware Vampire F5 by Rob Richardson. The intended method for installation is as optional sets of markings.

Installation:

  • Extract the texture files (*.bmp) in this zip file to the main Vampire F3 folder (install with folder path "ON" and two new texture folders should be made).
  • Edit the aircraft.cfg files to add a new [fltsim.x] section that reads as follows (change "x" to be the next number in sequence -- don't duplicate or skip or it will not work).

    I was impressed with the Vampire. It proved to be as unstable to fly as I suspected; a number of them crashed around my home village, Ashill, back in the late 1950s flying out of RNAS Merryfield, killing their young pilots.

    good simulation, thanks

    Robert
