DMarkwick Posted June 13, 2020 Posted June 13, 2020 I put this comment in the general forum rather than the CA forum because it's a general comment on the quality that I saw. I can't tell you how surprised & excited I was when I discovered that Rapier is modeled in CA, I saw the briefest screenshot in one of the ED promo videos & it looked pretty good so I plopped a few down in the editor & had a good look around. I was a Rapier technician in the RAF for ~10 years or so and I have to say the modelers absolutely nailed it. I mean it looks EXACTLY as I remember it. All the little handles, switches, cables & labels were immediately familiar. Even the generators for Christ's sake :D are just as I remember them. The shapes of those components are burned into my consciousness and it was just great to "see" them up close again :) Some of the details of the behaviour are not right, but overall the behaviour is OK, certainly good enough for flight sim use and the general ability of the system considering you don't really get to see it unless you're nerding out & watching it with the camera :) Just thought you guys ought to know when you nailed something I actually know something about :)
