Announcing Tu-22M3 Troika by Black Cat Simulations

[pepin1234]

This aircraft is the most awaited in my wish list after the Mig-23. I hope you guys keep this work up. Thanks

[LevelPulse]

Looking forward to seeing the video update, any documentation you could link me in regards to the EFM. Trying to build our own and require a very different sort of engine as well ;)

I found out about this project only a couple of weeks ago, and I made a forum account to say this (I know I'm very late): This project is probably one of the most interesting ones I have seen in development and has really grabbed my attention. Not just the aircraft itself but also the effort and ambition of Black Cat simulations. So thank you to all the team members for your hard work thus far and what I hope will be into the future too.

 

I'm really excited to see the future updates for this and I wish you the best of luck in your journey to build the Backfire! We're counting on you :smilewink:

 

That's a fine compliment! Thank you!

The wouldn't be able to prosecute the sim makers anyway. They wouldn't even care.

 

In different countries etc has own laws, but international laws about design, copyright etc requires that you will do all in your power to defend your trademark, copyright etc. Otherwise you will lose them.

 

This is a problem example with the Linux, as it is a trademark owned by Linus Torvalds (the OS project original creator) and there are lots of abuses etc, and he feels personally bad that he needs to approve nasty legal actions against hobbyists and fans because if he wouldn't, he would lose the trademark.

 

This is the problem that even when you are copyright/trademark owner, you can't just turn a blind eye on something illegal. As if you do so, then when someone bigger does the same thing, they can defend in court that you allowed it to happen and they will win.

 

So as a owner for designs, trademarks, copyrights etc, you need to contact the abuser (even if it is just a fansite etc) once it comes to your attention. And you can make a deal with them for a some reasonable way. So you can show in the court that you have defended and maintained your rights.

Yo Guys :)

 

I`m back.

I`ve been away to Russia, to visit my old grandparents.

 

Here are some updates:

Few days ago I`ve got my hands on this awesome kit (unfortunately I won`t be able to assemble it in a way it should be) :)

 

Here is some progress on 3D model:

are you laser Scanning Model Parts?

[rrohde]

are you laser Scanning Model Parts?

 

Guess that's one way to do it... :)

[3DArtistExtreme]

are you laser Scanning Model Parts?

 

Nope, just touching and measuring them, then compare them to blueprints and photographs and model.

But the sense of touch is really important to me, especially when you can rotate small part look at it from all directions.

Just a question, would this just be a free addon module or will this be a proper paid for full fidelity module?

[WinterH]

Intention is to show it to the ED, obtain a license, and release it as a paid full-on module as far as I know (and hope in anticipation :)).

Question: will you be doing the same with the Buc? Also, is the Big shelved until the TU-22 is released?

Just letting you know that I can build that model for you on commission if you'd like. Visit Instagram or Facebook ZMSC Modell Works

UPDATE!

 

Yo guys :)

 

Here is an update.

Past days I`ve been in a battle with a tail, to get it matched with all the reference material.

Anyway, I`m still tweaking and getting closer & closer towards the cannon...

Here are results:

 

Cya,

thanks for the update! lookin nice:) one of the most exiting/different modules for me.

[kolga]

Thanks for the update, and looking great!

[3DArtistExtreme]

UPDATE

 

Update on today`s work.

I`ve been busy tweaking surfaces of the base "Tail" mesh, took me a while to get to get them perfectly, so that light plays on them as on the reference material.

 

Finally I`m at the point that allows me to add smaller object, details and cuts to the main mesh :)

 

 

Greetings,

Oleg

Its always a joy to see any progress on this project. I hope ED approves of your license and gives you the green light. This would be a good step towards future DCS multi crew modules.

Is the entire model being made again from scratch?

[Nooch]

I spotted a difference here that I circled in red.

Also in a more subtle manner, at the tip of the tail, there are tiny horizontal fins in place of the bulge we can see on the 3D model.

Maybe just due to the fact the model isn't finished and you'll want to say thanks captain obvious but I still wanted to point these out just in case.
