August 2016 Dev Update

[javelina1]

Thanks Ells, appreciate the update.

Well, good luck.

I don't plan to buy P-40, not until the Hawk is finished anyway, so looks like I'll be waiting a bit more.

Enhancements to the cockpit model and its textures would be great :thumbup: The Hawk's exterior model is amazing, but we spend 99% of the time in the pilot's seat, and to be brutally honest, it's not eye candy. But I'm still hoping for a tuned up Hawk so keep it up!

Can you share more of the VR details? I'm curious as to how things would differ vs just a normal module.

 

We are looking at doing a livestream in the near future with Gibbage detailing these kind of things.

 

While I appreciate the amount of work and dedication you guys put into all this ... immediately when I read this, the word "gun sight control box" popped into my mind (yeah, my pet topic for the Hawk ...)

 

I read it that way that the control box will be most likely be part of this overhaul and all weapon related functionality remains basically as it is right now until the overhaul is done? And it sounds as if this is something that probably will not be ready in 2016? Or am I completely off track here?

 

Right now focus is on fixing the bugs with the current version, the biggest being the AHRS topple and Hydraulic pressure bleed.

With going through the current code it would need a re-write for the sight control box anyway so in all honesty it will likely be part of the upgrade and not sooner.

If we can implement it sooner then of course we will.

 

This, among other things, is why we re-writing the ASM. We can't keep sticking plasters on things when eventually they will peel off.

 

Thanks for your support and understanding guys,

Chris.

I totally agree with some1

Thanks for the update Chris, all what I need right now the smoke system

I feel it going to work soon :)

[NeilWillis]

Will the P-40F come with a Hollywood map and John Belushi pilot model so we can re-enact the scenes from the Steven Spielberg film "1941"? We would of course also require the ferris wheel, Jap sub, and a Lockheed Electra.

 

:music_whistling: :music_whistling: :music_whistling:

[Ells228]

We will get the smoke working as soon as we can.

Right now hydraulics and AHRS are more critical to flying the aircraft than smoke is.

[Alicatt]

Thank you for the update Chris. Quite looking forward to your warbirds :)

[DigitalEngine]

Since the ASM is to be rewritten now,

Multi-crew??

:smilewink:

Or would that be the surprise??

[some1]

I hope not. That would likely drag the project into 2020s.

[Rangi]

I hope not. That would likely drag the project into 2020s.

 

I do not agree with some1.

[Ells228]
