Blaze Posted June 10, 2012 Posted June 10, 2012 (edited) Working on getting our L-39 into DCS using the mod structure given to us by Alex, with good results so far! Thought you would like to see our progress. At this point it has its own slot, accurate FM, cockpit (still early WIP), collision model, normal maps (early WIP) and all animations and lights are working properly. :) Edited June 10, 2012 by Blaze i7 7700K | 32GB RAM | GTX 1080Ti | Rift CV1 | TM Warthog | Win 10 "There will always be people with a false sense of entitlement.

joey45 Posted June 10, 2012 Posted June 10, 2012 Looking good. The only way to make sense out of change is to plunge into it, move with it, and join the dance.

Krebs20 Posted June 10, 2012 Posted June 10, 2012 Great work. Is this going to be a public release? Payware or freeware? It would be a good deal of fun. To play with. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
SilentEagle Posted June 10, 2012 Posted June 10, 2012 Great work. Is this going to be a public release? Payware or freeware? It would be a good deal of fun. To play with. Too early to say. We would like to model all aircraft systems when the resources are available to do so. The ZA (combat trainer) and C (trainer) versions, that is.
sobek Posted June 10, 2012 Posted June 10, 2012 Looking forward to this. Definately a beautiful plane. Good, fast, cheap. Choose any two. Come let's eat grandpa! Use punctuation, save lives!
WildFire Posted June 10, 2012 Posted June 10, 2012 f'ing aircraft coming out of the WOODWORK!! Seriously all this new addition stuff. This simulator is going to melt my cpu with all these different aircraft flying around. And driving tanks.. I must be dreaming only two years ago I thought a flight sim of this caliber would never appear and here it is. Stoked. Good luck on this.
Capt_Haddock Posted June 10, 2012 Posted June 10, 2012 Simply wow. I still have to pinch myself with all this stuff coming up almost daily. DCS is going to be huge.
boquinauer Posted June 10, 2012 Posted June 10, 2012 Awesome job Blaze!! It's the aircraft I was waiting for this platform. I've used the L39 for FSX which is a great sim with an astonishing flight model and shared cockpit. I'm pretty sure that you will do a great job too. If DCS suports it, are you considering to make it with shared cockpit as well? It would be a great step forward for DCS on pilot's training. Train with an instructor in the back seat of a trainer jet. :cry::thumbup:
Blaze Posted June 10, 2012 Author Posted June 10, 2012 If DCS suports it, are you considering to make it with shared cockpit as well? It's an area that we would like to possibly explore way down the road, you never know what may be possible in the future. i7 7700K | 32GB RAM | GTX 1080Ti | Rift CV1 | TM Warthog | Win 10 "There will always be people with a false sense of entitlement.

Suchacz Posted June 10, 2012 Posted June 10, 2012 If you guys will make my beloved bird in DCS-fi, than I will gladly pay you 40 bucks as for another DCS plane! And what about L-159 ALCA? Advanced Light Combat Aircraft? Mmmm, yum yum ;) Aero Vodochody is in my neighborhood :P Per aspera ad astra!

Teapot Posted June 11, 2012 Posted June 11, 2012 Me too ... I've flown the model in Flightgear. Would love to get my mitts on it in DCS.

SilentEagle Posted June 11, 2012 Posted June 11, 2012 Me too ... I've flown the model in Flightgear. Would love to get my mitts on it in DCS. DCS does it a little more justice in the "looks" department :D

SUBS17 Posted June 11, 2012 Posted June 11, 2012 Blaze seriously I cannot see a thing in that pic.:lol: L39 Awesome.:thumbup: [sIGPIC] [/sIGPIC]
Teapot Posted June 11, 2012 Posted June 11, 2012 Blaze seriously I cannot see a thing in that pic.:lol: L39 Awesome.:thumbup: Subs, blow the image up (double click on it) and you'll see that it's a low-light shot (night-time) and the detail is in the cockpit ambient lighting ... it's flawless IMO.

Teapot Posted June 11, 2012 Posted June 11, 2012 Yeah the cockpit lighting at night was just a happy accident actually. That's a lucky find! I hope that you guys do release this one.

Yeah but let's just hope and ensure that there's consistent quality control and checking. It's all well and good having third party addons etc but the DCS brand is built on quality, detailed, accurate and professional aircraft. Would be a shame to tarnish that brand with err, well, you get my drift.
