correct as-is B-1B Low Resolution Model

[Mainstay]

So whats the status of this? I was wondering the same thing when i see the new B-1 model... Looks nothing like the stuff showcased before

I was looking forward to creating B52H liveries, especially for the tail I worked. These files are all locked away? Why?

I really wish we would get an update, or some reaction on this subject.

I guess this is going to be another case of ED failing to give an explanation and waiting till everyone forgets about it.

Definitely higher resolution nozzles on the B-1 than before. The B-52... not so sure. And the S-3s don't look that detailed at all (like, they have textures instead of geometry modeled vortex generators) though of course they're a great improvement over what we had before. (Now if only we had a Seahawk that didn't stick out like a sore thumb on our supercarrier decks!)

I do feel like the previews we were shown were a lot more detailed though, but need to go through them and compare, as in that Hoggit post at the top.

The nozzle should not be that shape or long -__-  I think ED's are just to long

Waiting for the official comments

In DCS 2.9.1 the B-1B, B-52H and S-3B has received an update, but only to crew members, the models are otherwise unchanged.

The S-3B though does however have new liveries (all from VS-36 and, despite their name) all have the same 700 side number. The S-3B tanker however's liveries behave as expected (though personally, it would be better if the side number was dynamic).

S-3B liveries

So this was their 3rd chance to give us the advertised models and they still haven't delivered?

[AKULA_OPTIMUS]

Every single new 3D model added in 2.9 is considerably less detailed that the models they advertised, wonder why

All as in more than 1 default skin?  All I see is my custom skins, the ones I downloaded from userfiles, and the campaign ones that haven't been updated yet.

For now this is correct as is, we will have more info in the future on further changes or improvements. Thanks.

Dear all, a follow-up to the above response. 

The 3D models are not broken and released as intended. The different quality levels advertised in the DCS newsletter will be presented as a part of the new ED product. Please wait for the news to follow.
