Testing new FM And weapons

The good thing is, all those planes are in my WIP Hangar

Wurde Heute beim Grenzübertritt kontrolliert ... Fand ich gut, hatte leider keine geladen und fuhr auch in die falsche Richtung ... nach Deutschland... sonst hätte ich die hinter der Grenze abgesetzt und denen erzählt das die Slavische Kultur und Sprache ganz toll ist und man damit auch gut über den Balkan Richtung Süden kommt

To answer your question Eole, this plane is still WIP since over a year. The hours are countless, even the nozzle, engine parts and animation tokk me a whole weekend. The Canopy is the 4th version, so you need to count in the hours of the other 3 forerunner. The mapping needs to be counted too, I still have to change something for Enoc my skinner. The fm and whole ini work is also WIP since a long time. Dont forget the skin itself, each individual and the countless testflights. The Debugging is a very long process, even in the latest status, you change animations here, add a part there, rework the Airbrakes, redo the nozzles, smoothing parts, changing mapping. Adding pylons, rails, new ini lines and you are still not done with it. I hope I will get someday the satisfaction of a complete plane, than you will get it. We are a team of 4 guys who are working on the plane, they are priceless and they are still working on parts and ini`s countless times and hours. Im proud to have them.

You should see the sea trials...

Puh, Flo oder Volker? Wie sieht der Stand mit den Pits aus? Habe jetzt von Stary die source für seine Su-7 pits bekommen, werden diese nutzen um die 17er aus zustatten, vllt hab ich da auch noch ein paar Fragen :)

I think so I have started at the beginning to use someone elses work, but at the time, you realize its easier to build it from scratch than use someone elses work. I learned it the hard way with some planes. Currently all my projects are build from scratch and it works fine. Lets see how the Su-24 will end up.

Jupp, bei Volker klau ich auch immer ganz gern Tipp das aber in die credits dann

load them into max, build a plane or object out of it, export it into LOD, write the ini files, paint the skins and release them

The surroundsound is carried on the pylons ...

The problem is, you want to redo one or two parts and you end up with a whole new model ...

The fully loaded combat radius is 1100 km but if you want to transfer the plane it can fly up to 7000km with FT, seems thats the case :D

Ask the russian minestry ... they are selling them so far i know .. have bought two ..

I am currently away from home, but our team is so damn productive, we have a very nice workflow and im still crossing my fingers to not get someone burned out. Still a nice hobby and the result is breathtaking on my side. We are working on many different loadouts, new missiles, new pods, new pylons .... Later we will show some progress of the weapons and our new stuff, we plan to release specific versions, with specific loadouts. Some export versions were wired for AAM`s and some just for dumb amunitions. Hope you enjoy this little update and thanks to my team, without them, this progress wouldn`t be possible!!! What I want to reveal now, are some of Enocs skins that are currently WIP

Fubar can release his version, i have no problem with it.

@ Spinners, are those DAT planes?

FM testing ....

What gameengine do you use?

Guys im so happy to work with such a talented team

Thanks to our great team, our projects are running better than ever before. The Su-17M will have integrated Fueltanks, rails and all needed parts to be properly flown. Ini`s are more and more complete, the FM feels better and better and the planes recieving it`s last touches on the first skin. We have a hell of parts and stuff to map and skin, so im happy Enoc is still onboard since so many month. Thanks to Logan the model has recieved some nice final touches and his great advices and ini work! Thanks to Cliff for the great fm and ini work! Thanks to Snailman for the weaponstuff, loadouts and ini stuff Thanks to Enoc for his skinning work! Those are the members of our team, and I have to thank you all for being so patient with me!
