El proyecto meteor se convierte en oficial de VEAO

http://forums.eagle.ru/showpost.php?p=2 ... tcount=345

Gloster Meteor added to the list.
We have just taken on a modeller that has an amazing model already made and looking forward to adding this iconic aircraft to our roadmap.

The Gloster Meteor was the first British jet fighter and the Allies' first operational jet aircraft during the Second World War. The Meteor's development was heavily reliant on its ground-breaking turbojet engines, pioneered by Sir Frank Whittle and his company, Power Jets Ltd. Development of the aircraft itself began in 1940, although work on the engines had been underway since 1936. The Meteor first flew in 1943 and commenced operations on 27 July 1944 with No. 616 Squadron RAF. Nicknamed the "Meatbox", the Meteor was not a sophisticated aircraft in terms of its aerodynamics, but proved to be a successful combat fighter.

VEAO Spitfire mk XIV

http://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=128409`

Hi Guys,

Thought it was bout time that I started the Dev Diary for the Spitfire Mk XIV.

I am pleased to confirm that this will be the 3rd aircraft to be released in the Warbirds Collection.

At the moment we have been gathering data, speaking to pilots and getting reference material together for the aircraft as well as making some technical decisions regarding what model and layouts we are going to use.

Obviously its no shock to anyone that with the help of the TFC and the guys at Duxford we have access to their Mk XIV which helps us alot!

I for one am really looking forward to getting some Griffon power into DCS!

A few things that I can confirm ...

We are primarily looking to do the clipped wing variant with a bubble (low back) canopy. Although after suggestion from one of the forum guys we think we have a way of enabling full tips as an option iun the mission editor. I cant confirm that this will 100% be done for sure until we try and actually put it in the sim but I am confident that we will be able to work something out.

For the moment at least we will not be able to implement different fuel grades this is something that we may look at later, so for the time being we will work on the assumption of 21lbs with 150 octane. Although it should be noted that although alot of MkXIV's had the conversion done severe damage was often the result of overuse, I have seen under 5 minutes being quoted on several documents. So this will be a short one hit wonder unless I can verify that it was able to be used for longer periods. Some references show it only being used to try and catch V1's. I will continue to investigate this as the EFM and ASM are developed.

Primary weaponary will be the stock weapons for the Mk XIV.

GGS, we havent decided about this yet, I would like to have this as an editable option within the ME, but we will have to see what is technically possible when it comes round to it. GGS is used on other aircraft in our roadmap so its def in my mind but until we actually try some stuff we cant say for sure.

The model will be started in late September to be ready early November (So watch our VFAT fans!)

EFM is already starting in its basic form as well so we are on track for release after the Bearcat.

All the best everyone

VEAO F-8F BearCat
http://forums.eagle.ru/showpost.php?p=2 ... stcount=25

Thought I'd give you abit of an update on the dev of the Bearcat...

Flight modelling is in its infancy and is being programmed by the same AFM programmer as the P-40F so I would expect this to be completed slightly after the P-40F

The external model is going really well and should be completed in the next couple of weeks, work on the cockpit has already begun and is progressing well, I will post some more screenies during the week for this

We have managed to get the last of the references we needed for some of the more obscure areas of the aircraft so that has finally come to an end for now at least!

Thanks to Nick and Stephen Grey we managed to pickup a couple of small errors in the shape of the main body of our model, these have now been corrected and signed off.

Will bring you guys more news as it develops

Video de Froogle, en que se ve el UH-1H volando en NTTR y DCS: World 2
http://youtu.be/dOLevVN3dyI

Extraido del video:
- La salida de DCS: W 2 sera "pronto", pero no hay fecha para cuanto pronto será.
- Va ha haber una "alpha" abierta para testearla, no hay fecha
- Compatibilidad con Oculus Rift
- Se trabaja en la funcionalidad de la cabina compartida, llamese "multiseat" para dos personas en la cabina de un aparato ¿UH-1H o entrenadores?
- Servidores dedicados
- Nevada NTTR, mantiene dar gratis para los que compraron la Beta del A-10C, saldrá cuando DCS: W 2 haga su salida, ya que requiere este ultimo para funcionar (no dice nada si en la "alpha" o despues)
- Habla de otros mapas de oriente medio (me imagino que se refiere a Hormuz) y norte de francia (el antiguo de Normandia de RRG Studios), tambien deja caer de futuros mapas que cubrirán el conflicto de Corea, Vietnam, la WW2, la guerra de irak y otras epocas (me imagino que como futurible). Tambien puntualiza que dichos mapas tendrán unidades y defensa aerea acorde con dichos periodos (no mas ZSU-23-4 Shilkas en WW2 por ejemplo).
- Nuevos aparatos, el F-18C, el F-15C y el F-16 y el Grippen, por lo que comenta, se ha desarrollado la tecnologia de radar aire tierra de alta definición y sistemas internos complejos para estos aparatos. No se sabe la fecha de salida del F-18C, o cuando se sabrá algo del F-16 o del Grippen. Froogle le pregunto si habría posibilidades de un EF-18G Groggler, pero Wags le dijo que era imposible por el momento, por las restricciones de documentación sobre el aparato.
- Se sigue trabajando en el AFM para vuelo supersonico, empezado gracias al trabajo del F-15C y Su-27 de FC3 que se dirige hacia el F-18C.
- Antes de que veamos el F-18C, ED se concentra en realizar el Spitfire Mk9 y el P-47D, ademas del mapa de la WW2 del norte de francia.

MudSpike, publica un video del DCS: World 2 , el F-15C sobre Nevada NTTR y DCS: W 2
http://youtu.be/llgTAq1Rh3E

Ademas, Q&A de MudSpite a Wags, con interesantes cuestiones:
http://www.mudspike.com/qa-with-matt-wa ... -dynamics/

Extraido de la entrevista:

- Se espera la Open Beta de DCS: W 2 disponible en la primera mitad del año, mientras, se continuan reparando bugs que afectan al rendimiento o causan problemas.
- El modelo externo y la cabina 6DOF del L-39 se han integrado dentro de DCS W, ademas de realizarse gran cantidad de trabajo de sistemas y modelo de vuelo. Se espera las primeras imagenes en febrero.
- Se sigue desarrollando el multicrew para multiplayer, pero es posible que no esté disponible para el lanzamiento inicial del L-39, pero esperan que sea para 2015.
- El trabajo en el teatro del estrecho de Hormuz está al 60%, aunque queda una gran cantidad de trabajo en la zona de los emiratos arabes unidos, debido a su gran concentración de areas urbanas.
- Se añadirá a Iran y los Emiratos Arabes Unidos como paises en DCS: W 2, se investiga añadir nuevas unidades.
- Se investiga añadir nuevas unidades navales para Hormuz, la excepción será un nuevo portaviones Nimitz para el Hornet.
- NTTR sigue en progreso, operando actualmente en DCS: W 2, y los trabajos se centran en que los aparatos IA funcionen perfectamente con las nuevas bases aereas, los efectos del agua, colision de objetos, luces, colocación de objetos estaticos en el mapa, proyección de sombras y optimización de rendimiento.
- ED trabaja con pilotos de Hornets y documentación relacionada, la implementación las operaciones embarcadas, como las ordenes de los señaleros, recuperaciones tipo I, II y III, LSO, operaciones sobre cubierta y operaciones de cisternas (no dicen fechas).
- El desarrollo del F-18C se acelerará durante 2015. Tienen retos, como el radar de tierra que les está dando buenos resultados, el segundo es el AFM de un aparato supersonico, que ha ayudado el desarrollo del AFM del F-15C y el Su-27, aun así, este proyecto tomará mas tiempo que ninguno anterior.
- Los modulos comprados bajo DCS: W 1 funcionarán sin problemas en DCS: W 2, sin pagar ningun cargo alguno.
- ED está centrado en mejorar el editor de misiones, centrandose en arreglar problemas y mejorar varios aspectos de este, que no solo permitirán mejores misiones y campañas, sino tambien para satisfacer las necesidades de sus clientes profesionales. Aun así ED esta investigando sobre el tema de campañas dinamicas, realizando documentación de diseño interno de como abordar dicho tema en DCS: World. Estan considerando ponerse a ello cuando llegue el momento y el personal tenga la experiencia requerida para dicha tarea.
- ED trabaja en dos nuevos DLC, centradas en campañas en Nevada NTTR, una para el F-15C y otra para el A-10C, que se realizan en colaboración con el autor Stive Davies y varios pilotos de la Red Flag, estas campañas serán muy realistas, acorde con las campañas reales, con gran cantidad de información y transfondo. Este nivel no podria ser generado por una campaña dinamica.
- ED no se plantea dividir DCS: World en dos, como algunos quieren que la WW2 esté aparte del combate moderno.
- Uno de los grandes avances que se esperan en 2015 es una mejora de Combined Arms y el elemento terrestre del simulador, que por ahora se a aprovechado poco y se espera ver mas cosas interesantes previstas para este frente.
- Se está trabajando en varios elementos de la IA para DCS: World 2, como la IA en combate Aire Aire, la logica de las ROE, y las comunicaciones de radio. Otra de las areas que se espera mejorar son el ATC (control de trafico aereo).

a menos que tu key esté dentro de Steam, lo dudo (las claves externas a Steam a sido un problema desde hace tiempo, por eso Steam hace meses dijo que no se responsabilizaba de dichas claves compradas exteriormente), Siempre te queda bajar del DCS: World de la pagina de ED, ya que te permite usar todas las keys (tanto las compradas en la pagina de ED como las de Steam sin problemas),

Tango habla del desarrollo de la versión CC del C-101 de Aviodev

http://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=139464

Hi,

This thread has been a long time coming, but I'm pleased to have finally started it!

I'm currently in the middle of implementing the weapons system. I'll have more info as soon as it is avail.

The SFM is updated to match the engine specs of the CC version. The EB version is equipped with an engine producing 15.8 kN static thrust, whilst the CC version produces 20.9 kN static thrust. If you're paying attention, you'll realize that is 32% more thrust. I have taken it for a test flight, and I can tell you now - it is a ROCKET! You're going to love this thing.

That's all for now. Until next time...

Best regards,
Tango.

DCS World 2
We are nearing a point where DCS World 2 will be available for a public, alpha release. The primary work remains with sorting out some issues with the unified .exe (no longer will the front end and simulation end operate as two separate exe). We have also been using this time to give mission builders better control of AI weapon jettison, afterburner use, and restrictions of when they can attack air and ground targets. Now that the 1.2.15 update is released, the team will be focused on final testing and preparing DCS World 2 (and the NTTR map) for its debut.



DCS: Nevada Test and Training Map
The actual art construction (elevation mesh and textures) of this map is more-or-less done with the remaining work being performance optimization and getting the AI units to operate within the map correctly (such as airfield taxi operations). As with DCS World 2, once 1.2.15 is released, this map will be the focus of testing to get it ready for its alpha, public release.
In parallel with the new map, Red Flag campaigns for the F-15C and A-10C are in active development.



DCS: L-39 Albatros
The next aircraft to be released by Eagle Dynamics will be the L-39C and the L-39ZA. Both aircraft are in a later stage of development with most of the work now focused on the various cockpit systems and flight dynamics. This will be a fully-realized module with mouse-interactive cockpit and professional flight model. Although it will not be available at launch, two-players in the same aircraft is planned for the L-39. We see this as an important feature, not just for the L-39, but other current and future DCS modules.



DCS: P-47D Thunderbolt
The next World War II aircraft for DCS World will be the Thunderbolt. As you can see by the images in this newsletter, the cockpit is quite far along and overall project status is moving along nicely. Once the Bf 109 K-4 is out of beta (good progress as you can see in the 1.2.15 preliminary change log), progress on this module will further accelerate.



DCS: Spitfire IX
Following the Thunderbolt, the next of our World War II aircraft will be the glorious Spitfire IX. While not as far along as the Thunderbolt, aspects of it are underway as evidenced by the early cockpit renders seen in this newsletter



DCS: F/A-18C Hornet
No, it’s not a myth. Work on the Hornet continues with great progress on the air-to-surface radar. The real beam mapping mode is just about done, and once complete, the team will start work on the various sub-modes. This has been a critical new technology that had to be developed from scratch for this project.
Included in this newsletter is the current status of the 6 DOF cockpit. It is still very much a work-in-progress but project development is now accelerating.



Hawk for DCS World
We are working closely with VEAO Simulations on preparing the Hawk for sale on the DCS e-shop. There have been a few remaining bugs that need to be resolved, but once complete, the module will be available from the DCS e-shop. In the meantime, you can download the VEAO installer here.
