A Question on the Why?

Why is is every flight simmer seems to want more of their designers and airplane varieties? For example the P-47N coming up by Nactpiloten, wasn't there a one percent version from AVH at some point in time?

Or what to most prefer, the One percent aircraft or the Newer aircraft coming onstream?

Or does it really matter which one you prefer?
 
As many I do enjoy the 1% birds..
But I also realize there are and have been many advances in our Newer Birds..

The newer Birds are without equal.. :medals:

The detail, the cockpits, the effects..:applause:

What can be said but.. WOW!!!! :ernae:

If you are asking I do love to wreck all the New Aircraft, and are Grateful for them..

Thanks

:salute: :salute: :salute:

I've never seen a 1% P-47N. Someone else(Jaycee?) recently made some very nice P-47's with the extended dorsal fins, including an "N" but he didn't realize that the wings were far different from the older models.
The "N" fits nicely with my custom campaign, as do most late war planes, which is what I look for. I'm still hoping someone makes some bubbletop Spitfires and a Tempest II. I'm after all of the late war planes I can find.
 
This is a simulator , so the aircraft should be relevant and actually try to look like the real thing. If your going to do skins or create a mission suited for a P-47N, then it would be better to have a P-47N instead of substituting with a P-47D.

We all have our favorite aircraft, I would like to see a better model of the P-55 myself. But I am thankfull for anything new at this point, including vehicles or ships. There was so very little payware aircraft done for CFS3 as it did not have the following that CFS2 or FS had. I think Jaycee's work in adding features by making them pylons is amazing! There is so much that can be done in that vein without creating an aircraft from scratch.
 
After a long time away from CFS3 I decided to reinstall. I do not have the talent to design or paint. I can say, I cannot believe the newer models !!!!! Fantastic !!!!!! Look forward to a lot more stick time.:salute::salute:
 
...yeah let's don't forget a P-47N done by Ted is a whole 'nother ballgame...:salute:
 
Why would you not want a superior model, that totally outclasses the stock, and most of the available payware?

Just find this a very silly question, and to be frank, a little insulting to the guy spending his time making the model!
 
It's just a matter of what the modeler wants to do, we treat any new model like a new girlfriend, we put hundreds of hours into them. Our fun is not simming, it's creating something we love. Take that part out of it all and you get...well...nothing! ;-)

Since Ted's N comes from my D I can, in all honesty, tell you that you won't find such a close rendition of a Jug (external model) to these days in any sim. The famous FSX payware P47 is nowhere near my model in terms of accuracy and detail while being newer. Mine, with the generous help and touch from Ted and John, will be totally free. Makes you think...

For those who understand this, no explanation is necessary; for those who don't, no explanation is sufficient. 'Nuff said.

@OldCrow: Ted is NachtPiloten, the P47N will be for CFS3 when it's done but the VC is (afaik) still to do.

Thank you my friend. The stock P-47 VC would be fine with me. :salute:
 
NO!!!!!!!
stock vc's suck ***
building a beautiful model and defacing it with a stock vc is just pointless.

Eh...I hate moving cockpits and many custom VCs gunsights don't line up or you are sitting waaaayyy back ...I'm fine with stock VCs. I look out the windsceen mostly anyway.
 
Never use them, always fly with the HUD..
Yea one of those folks..:icon_lol:

As for the P-47N, I can't wait..:applause:
I really like the old Jug..
and this will be Wonderful..
Ever since as a young Hobbit I read Robert Johnson's Book "Thunderbolt"
He was with the 56th fighter group..
I have been a fan of all Jugs..



Thanks Ted, I do enjoy and are forever grateful for your work..BRAVO..
:salute: :salute: :salute:
 
and this one of the reasons I quit building models..
I can build a plane with no vc in a few weeks but the vc is what takes months (or years) to get right!
I take pride in my work and making it as true to life as I can.
you don't like the vc Luca built for the 109?
well thank you for making my decision to not release any of my work much easier.
and this is one little comment that pissed me off to the point that I'm leaving
cfs3 and this forum.

You're not kidding! Luca's Bf109 cockpit is still the best I've ever seen in CFS3 and your Fw190 wip shots are the only ones to come close to what Mathias has done for FSX imo. S! :salute:
 
The stock VCs are utter crap, repainted or not. Compared to the aircraft we've been seeing from the Masters (to borrow a Hobbitism) I don't know how anybody can be content with them.

For the benefit of those who don't know, building a VC is unimaginably complex. Every little needle and every tiny detail is modelled individually - it's not like CFS2/FS? where you move your gauges round in a notepad file, for example. I don't know where the modellers get the patience, but I'll tell you, I'm bloody grateful that they do. It makes all the difference.
 
this is the latest 190 wip but again, I don't think I'll release it.
I wish I had the talent Mathias had and could build a fw190 like he did..but I did what I could.
I wish I could select the people who could download my work because I would like to shut some people off from downloading but since I can't, all must suffer.
 
Dancat,i would love to have a fly of your 190 or any of your models in fact,don't let a few dissenters put you off.the work you do is outstanding and i always enjoy flying your creations,i have nothing but respect for the people who bring us these wonderful aircraft and nothing but disdain for those who diss them.
