FSX - de Havilland Comet

when you ask someone who has a relationship to planes (pilot, baggage Carrier, air traffic controller) what the first ever production jet plane was, most of them would say Douglas DC-8 or Boeing 707. Well they are wrong:). It was the de Havilland DH-106 Comet which was the first ever production jet plane, and I have to say it's design is very awesome for it's time. Enjoy this little movie about it. Made it with MS FSX. Music performed by Hans Zimmer. I do not claim, or try to make the impression i do that this is my music, I made it or whatever else. Also, i don't take any credits for the music.
The de Havilland Comet was the world's first commercial jet airliner to reach production.[3] Developed and manufactured by de Havilland, it first flew in 1949 and was considered a landmark British aeronautical design. After introduction into commercial service, early Comet models suffered from catastrophic metal fatigue, causing a string of well-publicised accidents.

The Comet had to be withdrawn and was redesigned. The Comet 4 series subsequently enjoyed a long and productive career of over 30 years, although sales never fully recovered. The Hawker Siddeley Nimrod, the military derivative of the Comet airliner, is still in service. The original decades-old airframes are being rebuilt with new wings and engines to produce the Nimrod MRA 4, expected to serve with Britain's Royal Air Force until the 2020s, almost 70 years after the Comet's first flight.

@MJJking4ever wow you r sure don't see one..

I tried a freeware version of this and when I started up the engines, they just cut off immediately after. Just wondering: is that supposed to happen? Do the Comet's engines just die if your throttles are set at idle speed? I got around it by keeping the throttle up a little bit, but that must be unnerving to new pilots, if their craft really does behave like that...
