phant Posted August 19, 2022 Posted August 19, 2022 DCS: F-100D Super Sabre Introducing the Hun We are thrilled to announce DCS: F-100D Super Sabre by Grinnelli Designs. The “Hun” is a single seat, single engine fighter designed by North American Aviation that was the original fighter in the legendary Century Series. The Super Sabre was the first USAF fighter capable of supersonic speeds in level flight. Flown extensively in Vietnam, its contribution was irreplaceable. The F-100D is an advanced version of the Super Sabre that features improved avionics, landing flaps, and larger wings and tail fin. The upgraded avionics include the AN/AJB-1B low-altitude bombing system and an AN/APR-25 radar homing and warning system. The F-100D has four 20 mm Pontiac M39A1 cannons, and it has six hardpoints capable of carrying AIM-9 Sidewinders, LAU-3/A unguided rocket pods, and conventional bombs. The Super Sabre fighter bomber flew extensively over Vietnam as the United States Air Force's primary close air support jet. The F-100 was in service for 17 years and flew over 360,000 combat sorties before it was retired in 1971. DCS: F-100D Super Sabre aspires to be the most faithful re-creation of the Hun ever produced for flight simulation. Working with veteran Hun pilots, the Grinnelli team is dedicated to simulating the avionics systems, weapons, performance, and unique flight model in high fidelity. Bye Phant 3
fabio.dangelo Posted August 20, 2022 Posted August 20, 2022 Ma questi sono quelli della MOD dell’F-22 Raptor, se diventano una terza parte ufficiale ci potrebbe essere speranza che evolva? Oppure non essendo in possesso della licenza ed essendo una terza parte lo hanno dovuto abbandonare?
Mig Fulcrum Posted August 20, 2022 Posted August 20, 2022 Strano che ED annunci un modulo in uno stato così embrionale
komemiute Posted August 20, 2022 Posted August 20, 2022 (edited) Il modello 3d è forse la cosa più semplice da fare. Il modello di volo e il substrato di programmazione sono *molto* più complessi. Edited August 20, 2022 by komemiute
Mig Fulcrum Posted August 20, 2022 Posted August 20, 2022 Esatto, è quello che volevo dire. Oltretutto è strano che abbiano già ricevuto l' "autorizzazione" a diventare 3rd party ufficiale senza altri lavori in passato da dimostrare o un modulo dell'F-100 già testabile. So che hanno fatto una ottima mod dell'F-22 ma non pensavo bastasse. Vabbè, alla fine meglio per noi però è una cosa un pò atipica.
komemiute Posted August 22, 2022 Posted August 22, 2022 No quello che intendevo e' - non giudicare lo stato di un mod dalle foto del modello 3D, magari tutto il resto e' ad un livello molto piu' avanzato.
Ramstein Posted August 22, 2022 Posted August 22, 2022 I serviced an F-100 many years ago, can't see it in this photo but it did have a Swiss tail. 6 ASUS Strix Z790-H, i9-13900, WartHog HOTAS and MFG Crosswind G.Skill 64 GB Ram, 2TB SSD EVGA Nvidia RTX 2080-TI (trying to hang on for a bit longer) 55" Sony OLED TV, Oculus VR

phant Posted July 28, 2023 Author Posted July 28, 2023 F-100D Development Report The F-100D Super Sabre is a renowned supersonic fighter-bomber that served with the United States Air Force during the Cold War era. As part of the ongoing development efforts for DCS, the F-100D module aims to provide authenticity and immersion whilst flying this iconic aircraft. To achieve this, Grinelli Designs has collaborated with enthusiasts and members of the Collings Foundation, who granted them access to an exceptionally well-preserved F-100, which has been extensively scanned and photographed. Utilizing advanced 3D scanning technologies and photogrammetry we have obtained precise measurements, shapes, and textures of the exterior and cockpit. All data was then processed and refined before being sent to our 3D art team to be used as accurate reference for modeling & texturing. The following areas were addressed to enhance the F-100D Super Sabre module: Exterior Model: Detailed photography serves as the foundation for creating an accurate exterior model of the F-100D. This included refining the aircraft's overall shape, panel lines, surface details, and textures. The goal was to recreate the iconic appearance of the Super Sabre with the utmost fidelity, allowing users to appreciate its unique design features. Cockpit Model: The 3D scans provide invaluable references for recreating the F-100D's cockpit. Every switch, knob, gauge, and control panel can be meticulously replicated to reflect the real-world counterpart. The integration of accurate cockpit lighting and functional elements further adds to the immersive experience of operating the aircraft. Sound Design: To complement the visual and flight model improvements, the development team additionally recorded a multitude of sounds from the cockpit enhancing the audio experience associated with the F-100D Super Sabre. Current Progress: The current development progress of the F-100D module is steadily moving forward, with the module currently in a flyable state. We have made significant progress in various areas, including the flight model, engine, fuel and hydraulic systems, which are currently undergoing alpha testing. Additionally, we are actively testing and refining the core systems of the aircraft, such as electrical, radio, radio navigation, TACAN, oxygen, lighting, IFF, seek silence, and base weapon systems. These systems are being fine tuned to ensure their functionality and authenticity in the aircraft. Comprehensive testing allows us to identify and address any issues or improvements necessary to deliver an immersive F-100D experience to the community. Future Development: The integration of 3D scans has significantly improved the accuracy and fidelity of the F-100D Super Sabre module in DCS World. However, our commitment to ongoing development means that there are still further improvements to be made. Our future plans include: Continuously refining and optimizing the exterior and cockpit models based on feedback from the community and subject matter experts. Fine-tuning the flight model to ensure a more realistic and enjoyable flight experience. Weapon system implementation and integration. Expanding the available liveries and customization options to provide a wider range of visual variations. Collaborating with real F-100D pilots and experts to incorporate their insights and knowledge into the module's development. Bye Phant 2

Bontà tua, grazie dei complimenti, me la cavicchio dopotutto. L'idea da sempre, da quando ricordo, era entrare in Aeronautica ma a 6 anni e mezzo ho messo gli occhiali e sono finiti i sogni di gloria...col senno di poi avrei potuto far domanda come specialista o quant'altro, ma si sa che da ragazzi vivi quasi di assoluti, e l'assoluto era il pilota nel mio caso. Da piccolo, negli anni '80 facevano un Air Show all'aeroporto dell'Urbe a Roma ( ad 1 Km da casa) ,e mentre i bambini della mia età sognavano la foto col calciatore, io custodisco ancora quella fatta con due specialisti RAF dell'Harrier GR 7 che vennein un'occasione. In quegli anni ebbi la fortuna di vedere per la prima volta dal vero A-10, F-16, Harrier Gr3 e Gr7, il mio amato 339 e un M2000 tra gli altri. Adesso corrono dietro gli Youtuber...

Irpus Posted June 17 Posted June 17 Veramente un bel modello e te lo dico da modellista (molto più amatoriale) proprio amante del 1/72, complimenti! Del resto hai vinto anche una medaglia d'oro con questo modellino.Inviato dal mio Tapatalk
