Original swiss cockpit translated to English - note this is not a historically accurate RAF-period cockpit, but the swiss one retextured.
In particular the altimeter cannot be recalibrated to read correctly and so the KM heights have been retained, however key heights in feet have been added :-
below 1 KM the 'dot' heights as indicated by the long needle accurately indicate 250, 500, 1000, 2000 and 3000 ft.
between 1KM and 2KM the 'two dot' height for 5000 ft is accurate
between 3KM and 4KM the 'three dot' height for 10000 ft is accurate
The english cockpit (and stencils) can be reused in other liveries such as the GLS RAAF livery by changing the texture.cfg file to read
fallback.1=..\..\SMS_Vampire_DH100-RAF\texture
fallback.2=..\..\SMS_Vampire_DH100\texture
The Vampire is available from https://swissmilsim.ch/index.php/en/de-havilland-vampire-dh-100-msfs-3/

Plus a pack of International liveries for the Swissmilsim Vampire, note that these are not historically completely accurate but they do the job... :)
Known problems are mostly due to the lack of a paintkit and many mirrored textures include -
a metallic skin colour is not currently possible
some details are wrongly placed or missing
some text is reversed

The Vampire was responsible for bringing many air forces into the Jet Age -
Canada - An F3 of 438 (F) Squadron at RCAF Station St. Hubert, PQ. Later sold in the US as N6864D.
France - An ex-RAF FB5 of 2/4 “La Fayette”
NB The French livery retains the Swiss cockpit - to use the anglicised cockpit copy the texture.cfg file from another livery
Italy - An FB52 of 4 Stormo Caccia, based at Napoli / Capodiolino
Norway - An FB52
New Zealand - An ex-RAF FB5 of 14 Squadron.
South Africa - An FB9 of 2 (Cheetah) Squadron,
United Kingdom - An RAF FB5, VF345 took part in an international sales tour, then was used by 73 Squadron, RAF before being lost.
United States - Thirty ex-RCAF Vampires were sold to the States to be converted for private use, including N6884D. 2 ended up in Hollywood, though the Stars and Bars are fanciful but who knows… The project was unsuccessful and 15 were sold on to Mexico.
All but the French livery use the anglicised cockpit - to use the Swiss cockpit copy the texture.cfg file from the French livery
