Hi guys, I'm Luca, PONY6 (second section leader) of the Frecce Tricolori Virtuali aerobatic team. On behalf of the whole group, I'd like to thank you for your support. We are putting our best effort in the development, but as you know without proper "references" it is a very hard and quite frustrating process. The exterior 3D Model is almost completed, the cockpit and its animations are at a good 60%. Overall, we can estimate the 3D model at 30% because shadows, lods, collisions and so on are still missing. That means that the path for a public release is still long, but luckily these aspects are not a priority for our needs as aerobatic team. What we really need is the infamous AFM (or EFM in our case). A plane that actually can't perform simple actions like flying inverted and stalling, can't suit our needs. We started to work on EFM from scratch: first tests are promising (it stalls like expected), but long is the way for a proper flight envelope. Now we are struggling for the backseat implementation (just "visual", not with duplicated inputs and instruments). Why? Because we would LOVE to give a ride to our fans and aerobatic addicted during our training and/or official displays. Who of you flys in VR understands how much immersive (and useful for learning) it can be! Maybe you guys can lead us to some documentation that we missed, if any, about how to implement it. We'll try to keep you updated, thanks for your support again and don't forget to visit our Facebook page and our Youtube channel. Each Thursday we make live streaming of our training, hope you appreciate that! Bye!
