Lockheed S-3 Viking - The Sequel Thread

Well, we are very close to the public release, outstanding items are really few (but quite boring) - probably 5-10 hours of work will be enough to complete it...

Dino... that was over 72 hours ago :ernaehrung004: whats happenin man, whats happenin?


Sorry, but I know some of you were thinkin it...

I wanted to bump this thread and say Thank you Dino and add how much I am looking forward to his next aircraft.


:wavey::applause:
 
Well... too much "real life" work in these days... No progress since my last update.
Basically release date will depend on the weather during the weekend - if it is bad, we may have the Beta ready sunday evening - but forecasts are good, and I think I'll go relaxing at the beach (sorry!)...

Never apologize for enjoying life. Everything else all in good time. Have fun. :)
 
I wholeheartedly approve of days spent on the beach, rather than in front of a computer monitor!!

We all are more than able to wait for our toys!
 
Rest assured that I'll Always pick a day at the beach instead of one spent in front of a computer monitor! :)

Anyway, here is the situation at present:
- External model is 99.9% complete
- Virtual cockpit modeling is 95% complete (just few minor details we could even skip for the Beta)
- A Beta flight model is in place which seems to quite nicely (but more testing is needed)... tends to float a little, but in general seems acceptable...
- Alpha sound package by Serge is in place...and sounds great, especially at low regimes
- We have 14 wonderful liveries by Groom Lake Simulations completed
- Tacpack configurator works, dumb bomb and rockets release works as intended (while AGM-84 AGM-65 and refuel pods are not functional)

Regards

Dino
 
If you want to get excited, go out to the Groom Lake Simulations Facebook page and see many Viking paints. Wow!

S-3B Viking - Beta Release

Imag77.jpg


Given that I will not have much time to work on the Viking during the next few weeks, I have decided to release the S-3B Viking "Beta" version as is.
This is a testing version only - you are welcome to download it and fly it, but you should expect several malfunctions and issues.
