Mejoras en el Mig-21Bis para la 1.5.4 Beta

http://forums.eagle.ru/showpost.php?p=2 ... ostcount=1

Dear All,

With 1.5.4, we will be launching two major improvements to the MiG-21.

We have more improvements lined up for the MiG-21, including bugfixes and visual improvements.
These will be detailed at a later time.

Flight Model

In order to ensure accurate and realistic flight performance, we've spent a lot of time and focus on tweaking the MiG-21s' flight model in all flight regimes.

With the unique position of our lead FM programmer being an active duty MiG-21bis pilot; we were able to take more real-time telemetry and video data from several recent training flights.
Such data is invaluable to us, and serves to further help with verifying subjective pilot/programmer feeling.

More overt changes will likely be most easily recognized in the critical and supercritical flight regimes,
where the aircraft now performs more to what you'd expect (and also more reminiscent of one of our earlier revisions).

There are, however, significant changes across all performance and flight parameters.
We look forward to you flying the MiG-21 and providing feedback where applicable!

Cockpit Night Lighting
While we have several more, significant, visual improvements pending implementation (and backporting) to the MiG-21bis; we will begin by re-implementing the night flood lighting.
These lights will have a performance impact pending upgrades to the core engine.

The lights will not be available in 1.5.4 Open BETA. They will be made available in 1.5.4 Release.

Del Facebook de Aviodev, cabinas del C-101EB y CC recontruidas desde cero y radios en implementación.

https://www.facebook.com/Aviodev/?fref=nf

FOUR TIMES!
===========
The complete C-101EB/CC structure has been redone, as again we were not happy with the previous results, and for two seaters functionality was mandatory task.
Also lot of work on radios development. That means do it four times, C-101EB and C-101CC front and rear cockpit, but definetely the gate for multicrew is open. We have succesfully implemented radios dependency in front/rear cockpit in both C-101 You can take the radio priority in any of both cockpits and tune the frecuency, with all the functionality. It takes time but we are happy to get motivational results.
Step by step until achieve the target!
---------------------------------
La estructura completa C-101EB / CC se ha hecho de nuevo, ya que de nuevo no estábamos contentos con los resultados previos, y para la funcionalidad de la multicabina era tarea obligatoria.
También mucho trabajo detrás en el desarrollo de las radios. Eso significa hacer el trabajo cuatro veces, C-101EB y C-101CC cabina anterior y posterior, pero definitivamente la puerta para la multicabina compartida está abierta. Hemos implementado con éxito la dependencia de radios en la cabina anterior/posterior en el C-101. Ahora es posible tomar la prioridad de la radio en cualquiera de las dos cabinas y sintonizar la frecuencia, con toda la funcionalidad. Nos ha costado tiempo, pero estamos contentos de ver resultados motivadores.
Paso a paso hasta conseguir el objetivo!

Evening ladies and gentlemen.
All our apologies for being quiet during the few last months. Our coding team is quite busy developing a template for our modules.
On their side our 3D modelers are back for summer after an absence period dedicated to other stuff. Allowing us to show you tonight some progress on the alphajet cockpit. We are getting closer into the details, and testing our first rendering to check the effect with some colors directly into 3DS.
Enjoy !

Pues parece que Tailored Radials está cerca de terminar el modelo externo.ç

https://www.facebook.com/TailoredRadials/?fref=nf

Just about finished off the external model, a few tweaks here and there to go, nose wheel strut, horizontal stabiliser to join the elevator, vents just below the cockpit and then it's time to rig all the flight controls up, and landing gear. So this will be the last image for quite some time as i focus on these fairly small details and we will now go for a month to month update.
