Etendard IV M/P final package is out!!

Hoooorayyyyy !!!

I need to test this a bit this evening, when home :)
 
OK, Hud is working fine now. Minor point for anyone using the beta versions, delete ALL previous files before installing current package. <?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:eek:ffice:eek:ffice" /><o:p></o:p>

This thing flies like a dream! Thank you!<o:p></o:p>

I've tried re-downloading, rebooting, and of course, reinstalling ... no joy.

Never had this problem on previous (beta) versions ... thoughs?

thanks,

Kiwikat, I took some screens of the VC but for whatever reason I could not get them to upload to here or my photo server.

I can tell you this, the VC is extremely nice and I have no problem calling it payware quality. The texture shading & detail looks great. There are new added details & animations in the VC as well as vast improvement of the canopy frame shaping(very well rounded/not blocky with bolt & nut details). The models exhibit lots of exterior details and high end texture detail as well. There are loads of animations and working systems that will keep most advanced simmers very happy for some time. It flies very well and the carrier operation is super smooth.

I have to commend the development team as they have turned out one of the very best FSX aircraft model packs I have ever used so far. It is payware quality and you gave it to us for free and for which I am sure the community is deeply grateful as I am!

:salute::applause: BRAVO!!!

It's a very odd issue...
I have to repack it for fixing some issues in the manual (some wrong illustrations...) May be it will fix your issue...
I'll keep you informed

EDIT: I updated the package let me know if it is OK now?

Regards,
Sylvain

Tout bien!

I did check disk, and also downloaded your new version.

I don't know which it was - but it works fine now. I'm suspect is was my system, since all other posters seemed to say it was fine to begin with.

Regardless - I'm thrilled .... time to go take some pictures in the /P ... :jump: Merci beaucoup, mon ami!

Hi!
Once again many thanks guy for your comments!
Me and the team appreciate a lot such feedbacks on thise quite confidential French jet...

Frank had written 2 very nice articles on our product, it gives you a good idea of what it
looks like finally:
For the Etendard IVM: http://www.mirage4fs.com/preview25.html
For the Etendard IVP:http://www.mirage4fs.com/preview27.html

Regards,
Sylvain
 
A great piece of equipment for a freeware - congrats for the whole team.

I'd like to request a few improvements to eliminate using mouse to minimum. FS Action shortcuts (Toggle Carb Heat for example) for at least the following would be nice.
- PHI mode cycle & bearing pointer (close/open cowl flaps & heading bug decrease/increase?)
- For each camera onboard on the IVP variant
- Breguet stopwatch needle
 
Overall I would rate this addon as one of the best so far for FSX, both freeware and payware taken into consideration. Modelling is superb and so are the textures. Sylvain shows us that specular maps can be used to enhance panel lines and their appearance instead of bump maps on a very smooth French fuselage. Superb work !
The VC is also something to be real proud of, payware quality and beyond :)

Many many thanks !!

No more! no more! I'm blushing...:redface:
Dag I never give you the final word of our discussion on "adding reflection" on the ETD... I'm sorry of that... Actually, I had long talks with Michel, our former ETD pilot, and I never succeed in convince him to had such a map : ETD paint was shiny but not glossy...
Moreover, after a couple of weeks on board with an important air activity, the paint became "satiny" and weathered...

Bonjour Sylvain,

Just a question regarding the Clem: any chances of it being released without static aircraft? It might give that lovely ship some greater flexibility for the possibility of experimenting with AI aircraft aboard the carrier ...

I enjoyed doing AI traffic for carriers in FS9, and am interested to try in FSX - but one needs a clear deck to begin with.

Just a thought...

Merci, was my birthday on friday so took the weekend off, so got to spend most of yesterday trapping the IVP on te new Clem :jump:
Couple of things I was wondering though, was the Alouette removed completly, and is it just me or is the IVP easier to fly than the IVM?

Sylvain,

Beautiful job. I recently discovered this plane and it is a real treat.

I had a question when looking around the virtual cockpit using the mouse. I usually have the space bar pressed and can view with the mouse but was unable to do in the cockpit. I know that the space bar is used to capture snapshots with the camera but is there a different key assignment for this so that I can continue to use the space bar for cockpit viewing using the mouse?

Thanks again for a beautifully crafted add-on
 
Hi!
Here some answers to your questions...

Alouette was removed because she generates crash for unkown reason...
IVM and IVP have the same FDE, may be having a better view helps??

This side effect is known but so far I don't have other solution... Is there a way to use Space bar without neutralized it? I will dig it...

Just a thought, have you tried either re-assigning the mouse look to a different key or a joystick button?
