There are reasons some dev's don't talk to each other which I won't get into for "fear" of being "closed" again.
Mods: this is NOT an insult nor is it an attack against anyone. If you feel that it is, I will edit it until it is not.
Now, I guess, the race is on to see who will get there first. Ours is nearly code ready... Not sure about Aerosoft's, but seeing as the Iris model is the
Meshfactory model with new texture/uv's, it probably has no VC (yet). Hence the reason they've not shown any pics of the VC though I would dearly love to see some.
It seems basically, and this is no way an insult, to be the same situation as the C-27J. External but no insides (yet). Who knows, perhaps they will sell the A-10 the same way? And leave it unfinished as well...
At least, with us, we will never charge anyone for anything that is not finished. Never.
We're moving ahead with our stuff and will keep everyone posted with updates...
Colin, I know one party that will not race, perhaps pick up a little slack but never race, it is what it is, it arrives when it does.
I did initially think the IRIS one was a Milviz mesh, but then history very rarely repeats its self in these circles LOL, and I mean that in the politest of ways.
My only concern is all these buy in meshes, before long we will forget how to model ourselves and to be fair many of these 4th party meshes are made 'factory' style, few with passion or heart, those that are, need little fettling to get in sim, those that don't, require an awful lot, and I've seen more than enough to qualify that comment
.
We're a picky bunch, some of these meshes change hands three or four times before hitting the FS world, they're fast, often very good, but some how I feel they miss something ?, maybe its just me, but they all have this feel, the lines the curves, the texture maps ! oh theres a dead give away LOL, its fair to say they are a particular genre, nothing good or bad about that, but perhaps not to everyones palette LOL.
The work flow is here to stay, but perhaps at the expense of the dedicated and passionate, and invariably slower modeler ?, those that spend days on vertices's and polys being just so, truth is 99% of consumers never notice and 99% of the time it appears wasted time, but those odd little gems seem to be of a different marque and I think theres few that will disagree.
Anyway, enough dialog LOL, each to their own and each to their particular format, I've long since learned there is no right or wrong, just different.
Kindest

, but there are those that do and Milviz is not the only place they shop, it goes on, it has to be accepted and aknowledged that it goes on. Like I said nothing wrong about it, it happens.
