Great to read, that you are also planning an T-38A. 

If needed, I would be happy to help skinning.

I already did a bunch of T-38A skins for another sim.

 

 

BTW, Spain never had T-38s in use. They used the (S)F-5B).

Export customers for the T-38A were Turkey, Portugal , Taiwan & W-Germany (those flew in USAF markings).

 

We're not doing a T-38A as of right now, theres another team doing that. only livieres. 

I already had Spain as a request so

Hello Everyone

So! Today you might thinks there's not really much of a progress but there was a lot of work....
     -  First of all the rudder pedals were added, with all that goes around it,
     - Then the stick was added too,
     - The main MFD was reworked,
     - The cockpit shape itself was reworked (mainly re-topo),
     - The work has started on the rear cockpit   
     -.....

This list is non-exhaustive, lot of work has been done these last days in the code too and all of this is still WIP ofc

Hi Dave

Yes indeed. This render was posted to our discord server a few days ago. 

Hopefully soon we can show off our work inside the cockpit also

Dev work is still forging ahead, we are just lax at posting on the forum. 

 

My apologies

Here's WIP pic from our discord posted a few days ago. 

Significant progress has been made to the avionics suite, right now we have progress videos on 4 pages of the Main MFD. for videos see our discord https://discord.gg/hGaq7qk2Ax

Today we announce our Data Cartridge System (DTC)

The DTC in the Talon loads navigational databases, training zones, targets, jet configuration etc.
What will this look like for you guys:
For the pilot, this will allow you to preprogram the jet to your taste, examples include:
1. HUD mode (F-16 or MIL-STD)
2. DDS behaviour (more on this later)
3. ADI symbology (CDM or Waterline)
4. Altitude warning modes (and their values)

These are persistent, and will save you time configuring the jet, as you will likely fly with the same settings each flight.

For the MILSIM training squadrons:
1. Instructor pilots will be able to have a generic file for their entire fighter wing training school
2. Custom training zones
3. No fly zones
4. Low level routes
5. Targets etc.

Editing your DTC
* The DTC file is clearly laid out, well documented, and easy to modify manually
* If an error is made during editing, the jet will revert to default settings, and post an error message for you

We are looking into a separate application based solution for editing the DTC file, but this will likely come after initial release

Thanks for your continued support

The announcement of the next major avionics component, the Up Front Control Panel (UFCP).

The UFCP is your primary control interface with the jet, you will spend a good portion of your cold start, and even in flight using it.

While it looks complex, it is a very easy system to use once you know the tricks. We will provide tutorials on this further down the line.

On show today is Menu Switching, Typing, Options Toggling and the Rocker Switch. We are still working on the cockpit model (Not Shown here), which is closing in on completion, with only minor fixes and details left to go. All going well you will see that in game in one of our next few updates. 

A special shoutout to Violent Nomad for supplying textures to our temporary model. And to JNelson from the A4e/F100D for creating a new debug tool, shown in the upper left, which has been extremely valuable.

Once again Thank you for the support, images and stories being posted in the channels

Cheers Hayds and the Caffeine Simulations Team

note: in the clip you see me press Q on the keyboard, that resets the QNH to 2992, and is one of several keyboard shortcuts implemented

I'll paste this here from our Discord

A short overview of the avionics so far. The UFCP is complete, and mfd is well on the way. 

We'll post another overview in a month or so

As always discord is the best way to keep up with progress, link to this can be found on the first post of this thread

See you soon,
