Very nice..but it,s more than a month since I saw the first shots..No to sound impatient but how long it takes to do a repaint ? I may not be that detail oriented but I could probably do about fifty decent ones in that time frame. What,s the hold up ? They look very good , roll them out one at the time..:applause: " It,s comming in May "..nobody in FS cares about deadlines anymore.

Your work has nothing in common with what they are doing, so you can hardly compare development times. I don't think I've even seen speculars on your stuff let alone new bump maps, interiors and flight models. These are the highest fidelity paints ever released for flight sim, yet look at the content of your message.
 
Looking at the detail that they have obtained, and it is spectalular, I hope I don't need to go out and buy another Cray computer to run her. Fantastic work, it is just these kind of things that are worth waiting for. Good luck.:medals::medals:
 
@yago, it is a team effort, it is not just a repaint that is being done as such, the Goose will get a completely new FM as well. We are a freeware mob and real life always takes priority of course and even though the project is more than alive and well, some days more work is done than other days :) Thanks for your kind comments guys !

Chris way undersells himself infact his Ec135 paints where the main reason i got into repainting for FSX so you can blame him for pretty much all my work ;)

hes also very good at quality control and his posts over at Ozx have made me rethink and re-sort a few things on this project :ernae:

Thanks for all the kind words and support guys im sure you'll be happy with the end results just hang in there a little while longer we want this out there as much as you do but it wouldnt do any of use any good to rush the last 5% just to have to patch it or make ppl redownload 1.1 a day or 2 after because we missed some silly little thing because we rushed the last little bit

Cheers
Steve
 
Awesome work! I am patiently waiting (trying anyways) on this masterpiece.

Take your time. Dont let us rush you.

Hope ya like it :) please let me know.. I tried to keep it directly on the line between easy to manage and yet as accurate as possible. I'd like to think i came close to that, but, we'll see :D..

Right, a team of people needs half year for a bump and specular map.Give me a break.Two rivets per day? It takes some time until you have the first one made,true but after that it,s "assambly line".Having a new model built from scratch could take less than this.Plenty of time to shot and edit video clips with a pretty much done deal I see.This teasing streched for months and years it,s just getting to be the norm and I hate it. Wich one is the worse delayed ? Alphasim Jaguar ? I say show your stuff when it,s close to release date.What,s the point in showing off something that would be released sometimes into a very distant future?!..Just to collect some "wow"s and "looking forward to this man " and a million " When " ? "Highest fidelity paints ever released " are you kidding me ?It,s ok, if you made them fast and easy enough.. but after a flight or two they just end up forgotten like any other " best ever " add-on. And the anxiety for new stuff takes over again so keep them flowing faster, life it,s short.

Sunnybird, I don,t think your even remotely qualified to argue with anybody about sharing FS files or worse , painting issues.Specialy not with me.I dont recall flying your files ,ever! Do you have any made and shared ? Just curious to try them on,you sure sound like a pretty talented guy.
 
Hey yago

I dont want this to turn into a bitch thread but come on dude we do this for fun and in our "spare time" sometimes that a free full weekend and sometimes its just a few hours in a week,we all have full time jobs/bussiness to run & familys and im afraid all those things line up way before FSX in my life it might be diffrent if we where taking pre-orders & your cold hard cash but your bitching about the delayed release of freeware come on plz

Add to that we are a team spread over 3 totally diffrent time zones (UK/US/AU) which in itself has added an vast amount of communication lag so to say....What the hack why am i even trying to justify this stuff to you....
 
Indeed, we did not put this out here to collect wow's etc. so by all means delete the thread moderators, we put this out here to share with you all the fun and enjoyment we are getting out of creating this package, nothing more, nothing less, we do not have to market our product for it is a free product but we have to conform to our own, self-set, high standard over at OZx. I am not here to defend my team, nor my product, I am here to share my enjoyment for a hobby which I so dearly love and have loved for almost 30 years now. Yago, you do what you do and we are fine with that and have no comment about that, you are, of course entitled to your opinion and I respect that, the one thing I have a problem with is the 'venom in your tone'. I ask myself why that is and I would be quite happy to discuss this in private if the situation calls for it but I beg of you to not make this thread about you. I have always valued your work and respected you as a designer of quality stuff and I am not here to aggrevate the situation, just so you know :)

. Keep up the great work!
 
Seems to be a slight difference of opinion here, Yago. The key here is "quality freeware". It is worth waiting for, and as far as teasing, people are really interested in the progress. As to your comment ""Highest fidelity paints ever released " are you kidding me ?It,s ok, if you made them fast and easy enough.. but after a flight or two they just end up forgotten like any other " best ever " add-on. And the anxiety for new stuff takes over again so keep them flowing faster, life it,s short." I don't know about you, but in my own case, when I find a near perfect model, I keep it and use it for the long haul. When I come across a freeware model I like, I try it, use it and if I like it enough it is permanent. When I look at my addons, if the file has not been used much, it goes to a "hangar file" to be used in the future, maybe. The good stuff, will remain active. Judgiing by the looks of what these folks are doing, this will be a keeper. If frame rates take a hit, still stays. One payware that I have, still hits my system kind of hard, Lionheart Creations Epic, but it is a keeper, and I will continue to keep using it. I don't mind waitng for a quality model, especially since it is freeware, done by people that truely enjoy what they are contributing to, it shows. Like I said, this is just my point of view. Speed doesn't translate into quality. Okay, I am off my soapbox and going out into the beautiful sunny day here in Farmington and cut the grass. You all have a great day.:ernae:
 
Guys, please keep it civil, no criticizing and stay on topic.

Looking great guys, please keep us posted!!!
