Epic Victory Jet screenshots; sooooon........

I Am Loving It...

I really do,

I took it for a spin last night...

I have to relearn how to fly...

Well Hannah did took the controls and I became a passenger ... or should I say a back seat observer...

But loved it already...

If you fell in love with the Epic, you will be mesmerized by this one.... :wavey:

I can't stop.... :running:
 
Nice work! This new VLJ classification has really opened up a new world for 3rd party's! There shapes are a lot of fun to model! :applause:

Very much so. They are like little planes with turbines instead of Continentals or Lycomings. Some wild designs.

The new Piper jet looks interesting.
 
Now all of you are just "plane" teasing me... :icon_lol:

It might be funny, Mr. Bill "LionHeart," if nothing in the real thing looked like your VC model but they included an Aluminum "Star Wars" Mug to go to the first 1000 customers that bought it. I'd buy it just for that alone. LOL :icon_lol::icon_lol::icon_lol:

Lovely Pictures! :salute:
Now, get back to work and finish it, already. (JK LOL :icon_lol:)


Hebrews 11:6 "But without faith it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him."

Thank you very much.

The more and more I look at the PiperJet, the more and more I dont like it. It sort of looks like they stuck a jet on the rudder of a Seneca. The Victory on the otherhand, is something out of this world. Its got a Rutan feel too it. The Eclipse and Mustang sort of look like micro-Lears. I did like the AdamJet, and that WAS designed by Rutan, but Adam didnt make it. So sad.
 
Will get one as soon as it is out. Wonder if there will be more Victories in real life though. It's a pity not to have more of them.

The piperjet is FUGLY. The only uglier plane that comes to mind is the 747SP, whose ugliness cannot be conceived by any human being.

FUGLY.
 
I kind of like it. Love that pinched nose. I do not like that paint scheme. I think the engine blending with the rudder looks clean. It would have been nice to see a totally new airframe though.

Theirs will be a solid alum. airframe. Alum isnt susceptible to erosion through high atmosphere sweating via quick climbs in humid environments.

lol I can see shades of the L-1011 vs DC-10 competition with the Victory and the Piper Jet. One could argue there are some paralells between the manufacturers and design philosphies.
 
Does the sippie cup come with a straw ? :jump:


This is going to be a must have for all I think....

Mason,

For you, I will make a straw that 'click' appears / 'click' disappears if you like. :d

I was trying to think of what I could have the coffee mug do. One was for steam to be coming out, but I have the worst luck with effects. It would probably cause CTD's, adverse crashes, cause the exterior textures to not show up, cause the gauges to do circles and flips, etc, etc, etc....

you know, I seem to recall seeing a single engine private jet in a book somewhere. It had an S duct design and I think it was around the 80s-90s. I think it only reached prototype stage and I cant remember what it was called or who made it, maybe Rockwell or somthing.
 
i'm really anticipating this. i have the vision, and i really like it but rarely fly it because it sometimes makes me bluscreen. it's a heavy hitter on frames. i am hoping your epic will be like the kodiak is, not so tough on frame rates.

Hey CF,

On the Victory, the main thing will be extreme mesh, tons of polys... There will be some double size 2048 textures in DXT5 format (not 32Bit) which might wear down frame rate performance. We will have the 'almost award winning' high performance Garmin screens in it, so they should not detract from frame rates.

I am trying to keep all textures as small as possible when possible, and nothing is 32bit so far.

Its nice to have small things done in precise model shape in the VC.... I have wanted that for years in FS2004. I still do. I am still looking for a programmer that can make a new compiler for FS9 models. I will pay good money for one...
