Hey guys,
The exterior is pretty much done, I've started the vc 2 months ago and didn't get to it ever since. I've got 2 out of 9 exams at school left to go through. If all goes well, I'll have about 3 days of free time during the first week of spring term. And some more free time before the term gets it's full momentum:) I'll post screenshots if I get something done, you can bet. ;)
 
This is great news! The exterior in the screenshots looks amazing, and I cant wait to see what the VC brings. We'd love to see some screenshots soon!
 
Beautiful modeling and paint scheme ... personally, I love the rear seat occupant. Beautiful as well. :applause:
 
Well done Kyrypust
Keep up your excellent digital artwork !!!

do you plan the followings on you L-39C "1.0" version :

back seat cockpit ?
full VC cockpit for front and back seat ?

other interesting options would also be :

an Iris type "F2" menu window with the following options to
click / unclick when the L-39 is stopped :

Student pilot on board
Instructor pilot on board
Wheel blocks
Intake, Exhaust, etc... covers
Full cockpit cover
Remove Before Tags
Ejection Seat Security Triangle
( specific to the L-39 family )
etc ....

Sincerly yours

Let's hope we are overloading and delaying this jet for a longer period of time with all of our requests. This is a favorite of mine and can't wait to see it out. Keep up the great work. :ernae:
 
The first L-39 was brought into the States by an American Airlines pilot named Dan McCue in Rochester NH. He had a write up in Flight Journal about his adventures. He was dealing with a Colonel and all payments had to be in cash in U.S. funds. Since then he's brought several dozen here and some of them have some really spectacular paint jobs.
However the worse one was a U.S. Marine paint job with low visibilty markings. A beautiful ship made to look really shabby.

Hi,
back seat cockpit most certainly, but might not be in the first release. Now if I had back seat cockpit, why not to combine them:) We will see how many fps it will eat. About the other stuff.... you 'll see:wavey:

There are some features i've been playing with. Right now it includes:
-visible engine exhaust gases when running and wing vapors when it's (the wing of course) stalled.
-custom front gear leg rotation, It doesn't center when you stop after a turn. It behaves like a wheel of a supermarket cart.
- the main panel reacts to G force and moves and shakes a little depending on conditions (there are some sort of shock absorbers in real life
- the seats are ejectable (the pilots and seats dissappear in the distance after a while, but it causes missing cabin in the aircraft selection screen, i will have to solve this)

Not much of it you can see on screens, so here are some just 4 fun:

Any updates on this project?

It could be interesting for our friend Kyrypust to include on its future
L-39C a version without Wing Tip Tanks.

More and more Usa private owned L-39 "Pole Racing" at Reno Nevada Air Races have deleted their wing tip tanks in favor of small stab winglets to minimise wing tip vortex drag effect.

Patience gentlemen, patience. I think it's safe to say that this bird is going to be well worth the wait. :mixedsmi:
