Priller Posted September 22, 2015 Posted September 22, 2015 Why do I always get redirected to nandos.com?! :P You have it set as your home page. :D [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
Gibbage Posted September 22, 2015 Posted September 22, 2015 Glad to hear of Gibbage's addition to the team. Does anyone have a list of the airframes he worked on in the Il-2 days? Time to cross-check with the VEAO roadmap ;) I remember he worked on the Spitfire, Ki-43 and P-38 among other things. Spit Ki-43 P-38 Pby Catalina Go-229 P-80 Cw-21b I also ran the 3rd party aircraft group and assisted in many other aircraft like the F4u, P-40, and many many others. I also worked at Microsoft on Fs11 and Flight, and many Fsx 3rd party aircraft from Milviz and many others. Needless to say, I eat sleep and breathe aircraft ;) This is my hobby, my passion, and the flexibility and advanced features really gives me the ability to model these aircraft to a level of detail that was unthinkable even just a year ago. I wish I could show off my work, but that's not my job! Chris gets that pleasure. Kevin "Gibbage" Miller

Ells228 Posted September 22, 2015 Author Posted September 22, 2015 Thanks Ells! Any news on proper weapons for the Hawk? I'd love to try out that 30mm Aden pod! :) I have the file from the modeler to implement, afraid it's down on my list right now as I'm bug smashing. I have to import the model, texture it for every skin (unless we do a generic one) and then code it to work in DCS, I.e. fire it. No ETA right now but they are being worked on.
xaoslaad Posted September 22, 2015 Posted September 22, 2015 Sounds good! Thanks! FWIW, and it might make your life easier it doesn't look like they get much paint: http://aei-systems.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/07/Hawk-103a.jpg http://i941.photobucket.com/albums/ad258/tommercerphotography/SDC15369.jpg http://smg.photobucket.com/user/juliendixon/media/Airshow%20Pics/Hawk001-1.jpg.html
AG-51_Razor Posted September 23, 2015 Posted September 23, 2015 Thanks for the update Ells. I know that it couldn't have felt too comfortable airing some of those problems. Looking forward to seeing some of Gibbage's work. I thoroughly enjoyed his work at IL-2 - and still am!! Bummer about the back seat, but hey, that's just the way it goes sometimes. Thanks again for the news. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]

AG-51_Razor Posted September 23, 2015 Posted September 23, 2015 Talk about level of detail, Gibbage modeled the head in the back of the PBY!! :thumbup: [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
steele6 Posted September 23, 2015 Posted September 23, 2015 Tell you what, you can consider dual cockpits when you do the HAWK T.2 or the HAWK LIFT :):smilewink: *wink Wink* *Nudge Nudge*
LuSi_6 Posted September 23, 2015 Posted September 23, 2015 a little sad story. No dates, just promises. Hope the P-40 will be ready this year. I burned my fingers with the c-101 and hope that I won't burn them again with the P-40. question: Why no ingame flying videos when it's only the suspension that's not working right? :pilotfly: Warthog HOTAS, Saitek Pedals, Oculus Rift :joystick:
QuiGon Posted September 23, 2015 Posted September 23, 2015 Thanks for the update, I really appreciate it! :thumbup: It's always good to know what's going on, regardless of it beeing good or bad news.

Sorry to say this but eehm, you bought known BETA products and expect them to be airworthy? Did you pre-order the P40 already and if so, do you expect that Beta P40 to be totally ready? Beta is about testing, getting the bugs ironed out and not to enjoy and criticize the beta state of the product.

LuSi_6 Posted September 23, 2015 Posted September 23, 2015 not quite. But pre order with a "soon" should stay with "soon" If you need money, run a kickstarter. One month delay, no big deal. Two is still ok. But don't go like avio and... What is it by now? 6 month delay and no progress at all? and yes, I expect open beta to be close to complete. Otherwise call it open alpha :smilewink: :pilotfly: Warthog HOTAS, Saitek Pedals, Oculus Rift :joystick:
giei Posted September 23, 2015 Posted September 23, 2015 Sorry to say this but eehm, you bought known BETA products and expect them to be airworthy? Did you pre-order the P40 already and if so, do you expect that Beta P40 to be totally ready? Beta is about testing, getting the bugs ironed out and not to enjoy and criticize the beta state of the product. Sure but Hawk and 101 haven't a realistic physic, full keybindings, working electronics and so on... so what should I testing? The 3D model? It works fine :smilewink: That's is a PRE-ALPHA module. I'm flying since 1988 (Flight Simulator 3.0) :pilotfly:
Phantom453 Posted September 23, 2015 Posted September 23, 2015 Definitely some disappointing news about the delays and especially about the Hawk multi-crew cockpit. Indeed, that is a real shame for a trainer aircraft! However, I'm sure nobody is more disappointed about it than you and the VEAO team. I really do appreciate and respect the honest and detailed update you provided. Thanks for that Chris.
azm Posted September 23, 2015 Posted September 23, 2015 Beta is about testing, getting the bugs ironed out and not to enjoy and criticize the beta state of the product. Not a critic but question - "Dead radio" bug will be ironed out?
NeilWillis Posted September 23, 2015 Posted September 23, 2015 question: Why no ingame flying videos when it's only the suspension that's not working right? If you read some of the earlier threads, you will see that VEAO have adopted a policy of not releasing images due to past run-ins with the forum. We don't get them because we can't help but snipe. Sad, but inevitable I am afraid.
