Veao p-40f

[Chuck_Owl]

http://fighter-collection.com/cft/preparations-weekend/

At Duxford today even the slightly murky weather could not put a stop to TFC activity, with the H75 having an air test, Gladiator and the Willis jeep departing for the Goodwood Revival and the P-40F was also up for a test flight. On the subject of the P-40F, our friends at VEAO have sent us an exclusive public release images of their upcoming P-40F module:

In a couple years we're going to have a big hangar full of WW2 birds in DCS. I can't wait!

[javelina]

Indeed! Awesome to think about it! :thumbsup:

Yeah looking forward to EDGE and the next chapter of the DCS series though my bank balance is less keen :)

[LuseKofte]

The only thing making me tolerate DCS and its fighters, is the awesome feeling of mastering flight , just being able to start and take off make a good feeling

[implicit A]

Lusekoft,
does dev from ED or Third party plan to dev a Bomber one day ? you should be very happy. ( we should be glad too, to intercept it ;-) :-P

[LuseKofte]

My guess is objects with hitboxes and damagemodel, then ordonance to the 190 and me262 then a medium bomber. I am not sure how missions making works in this. But I am very patient when it comes to this game.
I have become a believer

[Foul Ole Ron]

does dev from ED or Third party plan to dev a Bomber one day?

VEAO currently plan to do the Lancaster but it's far away (probably 2016 would be my guess) and everything is subject to change so it might end up never happening.

[gavagai]

The first medium bomber will probably be the P-38.:salute:

[LuseKofte]

I hope for the P-38 also, and the ME-210 and 410 and the 110 and the HS-129 and the DO -277 well you get it :*

[ATAG_Flare]

And the Mosquito, and the B26, and the He 219, and the A 20, and the Ju 88, and the Tempest . . .

[LuseKofte]

Well just one multi engined plane with all cockpits playable would won me totally over. But I see the expenses in that and have no high hopes

[Tychon]

And the Mosquito, and the B26, and the He 219, and the A 20, and the Ju 88, and the Tempest . . .

And the Hurricane IID/IV, and the Typhoon, and the Beaufighter . . .

[ATAG_Flare]

How about the entire planeset from IL-2 1946 at DCS quality. I win.

Yes, something I forgot to take into account in the formula

Hi @Silver_Dragon....

Thank you for the Pics and Videos. Realy, realy nice one.

But what WE need is a MAP for this Fighters of the Sky´s.....:(

A MAP of the 30´s and 40´s of the last Century.




I know it's not your fault, but it would be nice.....:ind:


In the hope that this may yet come ...

ED has develop a WW2 north france theater map, and Veao has plans to Tobruk Theater map.

Meanwhile. VEAO some info about the P-40F develop

http://forums.eagle.ru/showpost.php?p=2424099&postcount=325

Haha you guys love it

To clarify the suspense...
I'm home tomorrow morning early (01.30) and I'll be talking to the team tomorrow night to finalise the release date.
I'll then talk to TFC/ED this week to ensure it doesn't conflict with any other module release date and we'll agree a launch.
Then we'll put it live on our site for pre-sale. It's normally on ED site about a month or two prior to release as pre-sale.
Steam is always about two weeks after release.

As I said on Matt's stream chat yesterday (for anyone that missed it) we have three TFC Pilots that fly their P-40 checking out ours the week of Legends (next week). The Stig's cousin (our EFM programmer) is at Legends from Friday next week and will be talking to the pilots about their feedback.
In fact all of the VEAO P-40 team will be at Legends except one who had to cancel last minute which is a shame (we'll miss you Storm).
Nick Grey (head of TFC for DCS) normally flies our aircraft in-sim as well and gives feedback and actually Stephen Grey also did last year.
When the team gets back home from Duxford those tweaks will be made but we have a polished product ready for Legends so it's just tweaking after that.

We'll then get it to the VEAO and ED testers for final bug hunting and feedback and then it's good for ED final sign off (yes they do vet it to set standards).

So they are the last milestones to meet for P-40 (and all projects actually).

So when we say Soon TM, we mean it

Yes Q2 ends tomorrow but we want to get pilot feedback on the EFM prior to release and Legends is the best time to do that as Nick and his pilots are there.

So, I can't give a definitive release date for the reasons mentioned above.

Cheers,
Chris.

To be honest I think that VEAO's cockpit 3D models and textures aren't as good as EDs or any of the other third parties. For example, look at the gunsight, it's just a simple plane instead of a thick piece of glass.

[4535jacks]

I too have been concerned by the detailing of the cockpit of the hawk and p-40. I will wait to see more screenshots and videos before I buy. I hope the vampire cockpit is executed as I am really looking forward to that model.

That said the VEAO external models look breath taking and I hope to be proven on the cockpit front.

The cockpit on ED's L-39 looks great!

Has anyone heard of any plans for a period Japanese Zero in the works?

As a flyable no. I have a feeling that Leatherneck are going to release an AI opponent with their Corsair but will have to wait and see. They seem to have put releasing info about that one on the back burner a bit as think they're working on an Okinawa map to go with the Corsair as well and looks like they're running into delays.

https://www.facebook.com/veaosimulations/?hc_ref=NEWSFEED

The fine tuning that goes into getting the bombs and tank to sit right in the racks is insane. Been at it for 3 hours now. Rotate a little bit here, move in a tad there, down a tad there....

Export the model, load DCS, Open mission and see how it is.

Back to Max, tweak some more...rinse and repeat.

All for you lot to then go and drop the darn things off the racks!!!

Note: I stopped the engine during flight so I could see more clearly the positions.
Anyway, I hope you enjoy the details of what we go through making a module.
