BeeGee has posted a video on Youtube, showing the incoming Mirage IIIB by Restauravia. High Quality freeware aircraft!
 
a very thoughtful feature... at first I thought it was an attempt to simulate the wider field of view given by two eyes vs one camera where things can sometimes seem a little translucent through combined perspective... either way, useful.
 
There's a problem with the video....it's too short!

I forgot about this project, it's nice to see it's progressed so far. I'm definitely looking forward to this release. Thanks for the preview. :)

Hi,
You were right! when working on Fouga Zephyr and EtendardIVM, the feedback we had from our former (real-life) pilots was that the field of view was better in the real life : for instance pilots never loose the FLOLS 's meatball view. The reason is certainly mainly due to binocular effect vs single camera but also to the way brain works in a real 3D environment vs false 3D like FSX...
As a work around we decided to use transparency feature which according to our pilots, gives good results!!
But it is optionnal, you can keep everything solid!

Regards
Sylvain
 
Looking forward to this one very much. Not only because I like the old analog gauges but also due to the number of possible repaints. At the beginning of their service life, the IIIB's were delivered to the individual fighter squadrons, prior to being assigned to the then newly created training squadron ECT 02/002 "Côte d'Or" in 1966. At the start of the video the leader is from ECT 02/002 while the one we see the most is from EC 02/013 "Alpes". In addition to all the French fighter unit schemes it wore this will be a great canvas for the IIIBZ in SAAF colors and the IIIBJ in IAF colors.
