All DCS BABY. We were going for a different method. But bugger it. Lets make it happen.

Thanks fellas. Website is coming soon. And our 'hopeful' first view in dcs before 1st Jan. If not a complete external model regardless.

Blue OPFOR?

External model is starting to resemble a complete finished aircraft. :pilotfly:

Well for those who are intersted, i have been quite busy unfortunately and took a break. One which was needed to come in fresh with a new skillset that's been developed overtime and a workflow, finally. With image and manual contributions from a few good individuals, we're now at the stage of redeveloping the majority of the project, investment in upgrades and tools for myself. And commiting alot more time to ensure the projects success. Thanks for following, i hope i will be able to detail a more detailed response on my tailored radials fb dev page tomorrow. But here are a few images, i feel the images speak for themselves with the detail that we're going for here.

Please remember. They're holding back the P40 to not enter the same realm of dissatisfaction the hawk created among users. It's not easy developing something. I have high hopes for the P40 and for the future VEAO has in contributing content.

Looking good. What platform were you developing for initially?

Not at this stage. We will look into it. But just p3d. With the simplicity of the caribou it should port over without much hassle. You'll just have to follow the page for updates on that front mate. Honestly it's not my sim too often either anymore. DCS is where the party is at.

The aircraft is being built with dcs in mind. Although there is one caribou available for fsx. It's not a full fidelity sim, its very basic. And the model itself is basic and has alot of errors. We're going to get alot of confidence and learning / skill sets from a strictly p3d release. Then we can move forward with a dcs version. It's not about being there it's the journey. And with an available sdk it will help immensely. Don't think for a minute progress has stopped. So what I'm saying, if I'm saying anything at all. Consider the p3d version the beta. Before we get the better one on DCS

Yes the page is more or less a dev page where all progress is generally posted. Although not all of it! A few easter eggs for the future. But do pop over and say hi.

Yeah there has been a whole new cockpit modelled to lift the standard. Aswell as gauges, knobs, levers etc. I won't show anything just yet.

Thanks fellas. The external model is just about finished up. Flight model is under going some preliminary testing. Just a few things yet to model or remodel to bring the standard upto par with the rest of it. But i have a good handle after learning hard over the last 12 months. That has taken the longest. But now we have a fair bit of direction and a third member bringing a great deal of documentation along with him. You can follow my development blog on facebook where all progress is displayed. Just search Tailored Radials. Thanks for your support

Long time no post here.

Check the first post in the thread for updates from here on boys.

The thread shall stay for my supporter squad. Might post some new images next week if we're all lucky.

Panel mating lines and rivets etc will be baked or painted on with normal maps. Chew too many polys up otherwise. There will be noticeable details within the landing gears and flap tracks / flaps. But that is yet to come. As my skill has progressed i have now been progressively updating everything. In fact when i first started in the initial renders nothing is the same. Been wondering wether i should delete this thread and post when the team has something substantial. Thoughts?

Gorgeous model! Well done. Ill add those images to my motivation folder!

Yes Rangi. For tomorrow. Lest we forget. Thanks boys

Apologies in advance for the pinching, been a while since getting back into this, she's pretty rough in some areas to be re modelled

Awesome bud, Might use them for reference if you don't mind, can never have enough images!

Cheers strut. Thanks for the story. What a blast that would of been! Are you still based in aus?

Still here. Not showing anything further on the caribou currently.

I've jumped on the last two days to fly the huey after a hiatus and she hasn't been on missions I've seen. No longer supporting this mod?

Aginor SFM will be done well before the EFM. The main task with the SFM is matching performance charts since the basis of the SFM is the same for every plane in DCS. From the engineer himself. And thankyou to the caribous fanclubs support!
