Coming Soon; Aerospool Dynamic

Hey all,

Just thought you might like an update on the Dynamic for those of you that are into the new composite sport plane.

Its looking 'really close' to release. Final testing going on, creating of the manual, etc. Most of the work is finished and is just being polished up.

The package is pretty revolutionary in its new FS technology features. This sports 2 fuselage versions, 2 wing versions, 4 pilot options (male, female, couple, non-laden), and all selectable in the loaded plane. You do not have to select from all these various models, just the one you are in. So you load your plane, go to outside view, select wing type (winglets or not), fuselage type (rear windows or not), pilot layout, and Voila! Ready to fly. The plane loads up in the latest model with winglets and rear windows. You can change that, as many people have different versions. The side mirror (really popular in Europe, originally intended for glider towing only) is also selectable to appear.

The cowling removes for a view at the super high detail Rotax 112UL. This disappears when the cowling is back in place to keep frame rates high.

The wings can be detached for viewing how the plane appears when ready for transporting on roadways. (fun to drive it around like this also, heh... aerocar...)

We have worked with the factory, Aerospool on this, as well as Dynon Avionics who gave us a test screen PFD to make our D100 from. Some very cool menu's and things with this system.

Some screenshots are found here; http://www.facebook.com/album.php?id=113402895337648&aid=58267

The package ended up being too much for the FSX compiler. 1 Month was invested to get it to compile in FSX format. It would not work. We did all we could, including prayer and tears.. Nada.... The FS9 models used to be limited to 65,000 polygons. This is for both interior and exterior models. FSX was said to be unlimited. This may be proven wrong with this plane. The FS9 model uses nearly 600,000 Polygons, over 1/2 Million, yes... 1/2 million+, and has super small parts with 'zero' deformation, breaking the 4MM Vertice limit, and the 65,000 Polygon limit. The FSX version only had 413,000 Polygons, (no shadow model) and still it wouldnt compile, no matter what tricks we did...

So, the FSX version will have to be a cross over.. (yep, but dont blame me... I tried all I could to make it pure FSX).

Alot of work. Alot of new technology. And ooooooooooooooo lah lah.... what a fun little bird to fly. :)

Bill, she's looking absolutely beautiful, i do love these little gems, makes a change to everyone focusing on them big noisy military jets :icon_lol:

i told you on Facebook repeatedly, she's a beauty, something you should be proud of buddy, have a nice steak dinner on me! and drinks in the mess too :salute:
 
Just Brilliant

The controls in the VC shot look positively...tactile.
Can't wait, goodonya for persevering.
 
That's one nifty looking little ship, Bill! I must say that our European friends surely do have a way with producing some high quality, good looking LSA's; I thought I was looking at a new LSA from Lancair when I first saw her as she's very reminiscent of their fixed-gear machines.

Great Job!

Thanks guys for the kind words.

She does look alot like a Lancair. One of the things I liked about it also. It also reminds me very very slightly of a very small Mini version of the Epic LT, if you look at just the outline from the side. Epic LT escape pod.

Its fun to detach the wings and take a high speed drive around Pattonville airport in the grass. Makes me wonder what a real plane with wings off would be like to drive around.

Wow...looks amazing. My kind of flying....what with lots of hours in Eurostars and a few in Sportcruisers, Pioneer 300, Jabirus etc, this type of aeroplane always appeals to me.

Thank you very much indeed.

Best wishes,

Martin
 
Well Ed, I have some good news.

I was once again trying to export the Dynamic into pure FSX format (the MDL file) and it worked! I just cannot export it with all the various pilot loadouts, and the nap sacks. I can export it with one pilot only; male or female, so I still have the ability to select pilot types.

One of the coolest things I can do with the FS9 model is to select fuselage type, wings type, and pilots loadout from 'in' the sim, not in the 'aircraft selection center'. But... At least it will be pure FSX for the FSX simmers.



NOTE: This proves my point that I maxxed out the exporter. I can export sections out, but not the entire thing in FSX format through Gmax... Do I get an award for being the first person to max out FSX's compiler?

Well done Bill! Now that you know you can get some result for FsX native, we need to let them know in the FsX forum:ernae:
 
Bill,

Will you have an option for those who dont mind it being a port, but want all the options?

Excellent work, BTW :)

Hey Craig, yep, on it already... using the FS9 model option is a way to go for them that can run FS9 models without issue. They they get all the options.
