Announcing Tu-22M3 Troika by Black Cat Simulations

[Angelthunder]

I can't believe someone is going to try and make the first modern bomber in DCS.At first when i saw this thread,i thought it was a prank.:megalol:

Then i was stunned to find out you guys were legit.:shocking:Hope you guys are successful in getting ED on board.This could be the plane that leads to more multi-crew bombers i.e. SU-24 Fencer or the B-1 Lancer.:music_whistling:

[mambo]

Awesome, good luck

[Redacuragsr]

Wow, wholly crap thats amazing, I just had a tear. Buy buy buy.

[Angelthunder]

If you guys can make this aircraft happen,I also would like to see you make the original TU-22 Blinder too someday.:music_whistling:

[bcradio]

Looks exciting! How much runway are you going to need for this?

[DirtyFret]

I would like to wish you Good luck but luck has very little to do with building a complex module like this so I will instead wish you endurance and perseverance to push through any hardships you may encounter on this project.

[msalama]

Wow, a strategic bomber! I'll buy this the moment it is released :thumbup: Good luck guys!

[WinterH]

Very cool! If you guys pull this off, it will be one of the most, perhaps the most interesting aircraft to fly and operate in DCS.

[FraserNZL]

Maybe our first jet bomber the TU-22m

God I hope this will make it to game:thumbup:

[Buzzles]

Good luck, see you in two years or so as it's going to be massive amount of work.

 

You'll have to forgive me for being skeptical about this project though as you only asked for a 3D modeller a couple of weeks ago, and admitted you only discovered who ED were at the start of April when you announced you were doing an Su-25UB.

 

You might be very skilled, but it's a lot of work for a DCS module (especially as 4 crew positions is something not even ED have done!) and fwiw I personally wouldn't have announced I'm doing an anticipated module like this until I'd actually got something to show.

 

Plus you know, while you may have access to Ukraine's Tu22 and help from the state museum, you haven't even lined up all the basic research as of last week (05-02-2016) to find out if the module is actually viable:

And, BTW, 'Wanted: programmers'.

 

Might as well add...

 

Wanted: Tupolev OKB design data and flight test notes, translated

Wanted: Tu-22M3 sim time with English speaking IP

Wanted: Tu-22M3 pilot, bombardier-navigator, and EW operator, all fluent in English

Wanted: 36 hours in a day

About the only part of this project I don't doubt is you're going to have some amazing 3d models, as 3DArtistExtreme has an awesome portfolio.

 

I'm not doing this to knock you, but there's been a number of projects that have made announcements and then vanished into the aether or simply just fallen apart. A few of them had actually been quite far along as well.

Is your name Buzzles, or Buzzkill? :)

[Dudikoff]

An Su-24M (as a somewhat similar plane, but on a smaller scale) would have been rather ambitious for a first module to say the very least so I'm not sure how would a 4-men cockpit bomber even qualify then.

 

Please start with something simpler from the halls of that Ukrainian museum to begin with rather than crash and burn on this. I'm sure there's plenty to choose from.

release date?

I don't think it is necessarily more difficult, it is just more.

I wish Black Cat Simulations all the best and hope they pull it off as it's an interesting aircraft and I'll be certainly there with my credit card when it releases.

 

It took ED ~4 years to do the A-10C (okay, some of that was building DCS), BST takes more than a year for modules (F-5E was first spotted in June 2015!). Razbam were doing work on the M2000 in late 2014, and it only came out a few months back in beta.

They're all established, experienced and full-time dev teams, this is a new (apparently part-time) two man team who have picked a rather complex aircraft with a new DCS first in a 4 crew configuration.

 

I'm just being realistic, although I'm more than happy to be proven wrong.

Wish you the best of luck Black Cat Simulations, your goals are quite high but would love to see this aircraft in the game. You have my full support.

Sounds like a dream! Wonder how many years we'll have to wait though.....

[sirscorpion]

Best of luck, A day 1 buy for me. I am happy that there is some one bold enough to take on an aircraft like this.

 

It sure will add a new dimension to online play.

I was only teasing. You're absolutely right, of course. I just want to dream a little longer.

[Eight Ball]

That's an outstanding news, best luck to the team!

 

Any chance Oleg is also is the same Oleg who was sharing pictures of his Tu-95 a few years ago on the Bohemia Interactive forums ?

[Farlander]

I wish them the best of luck however they have set themselves a very unrealistic goal, something so advanced as their first aircraft is a bad mistake. This is more complex than the A-10C and would require a big team just to complete it.

 

Time will tell, im sure they know the challenges.

[Badger1-1]

Awesome!!

[sobek]

That is quite the project.

 

Godspeed!

[MBot]

Extremely interesting. Best luck with this ambitious project.
