Etendard IVM BETA is released

Hi!

Somtimes I wonder why I can spend so much time on modeling FS addon...
I've just find what causes the object collisions: the Alouette III helo flying beside the ship???

I really don't know why, but as long as I keep the helo into the model there are crashes during side catapult launch...
I tryed to add "no crash" tag into every objects of the Alouette, but all in vain...
So I decided to make a separate model for the Alouette exactly like Javier did for his Nimitz's chopper...

Last I still not find out how can I make the Etendard keep attached to some carrier's catapults, I have the feeling that FSX doesn't like that the plane have a pitch angle. Other strange behaviour, everything is fine when carriers are stopped, problems come when the carriers are moving...

I need to sleep...:crybaby:

Regards,
S.

PS: kremlin, you're welcome! Life is strange, in a previous life, onboard my "black boat" I used to cross the Clemenceau carrier without having a look to her, and now I spend night working on her without having put a single submarine into FS (lol) ...
 
wonderful aircraft !!!,

when are you expecting the final version ? also how is the zephyr progressing ?

Available on the repaint kit?

Hello,
I can try to clean up my template in order to release a paint kit. But it will be just after the V1.0 release because mapping may change again...

These last weeks , we set up all the electricity circuit in order to be close to the real one (a lot of documents to read/understand...:isadizzy:) , I adjusted the side views in the VC ( adding wings, modify seat, etc..), added the drag chute and its code, technical doors,etc...
The work is well progressing but there are still a lot of work to be done. I don't have any date so far, mainly it will depend on my motivation this winter... :bump:

Regards,
Sylvain

Any idea when you might release an update to the Clemenceau that has the Alouette as a separate model?

Hello Sylvain,

Thank you very much the info!
This is by far the best free model, I've seen!
I want to do a good job to finish!

Regards,

Zsolt

Hi,
Good question... yes, I will try to package something soon. :)

zsoltquack : nice paint, I love this Aeronavale's 100th anniversary touch! :icon_lol:

Frank : thank you!! But the break will be taken after this one...

Last, a quick footage of my paradrag tests:

Sylvain
 
The "1a" update is from January. I think mjrhealth is responding to the question from last November.

I don't believe anything new has been released since then although work has been done to the IVM as the IVP has been worked on.
:ernae:
 
Hello gentlemen!
A quick post to announce that I've just package a "release candidate" : developpements are now finished, and final tests are now on-going.:icon_lol:
Few updates on manuals and a new web page for RFN web site and everything will OK for a final release!!

By the way, I'm working in parallel on a paintkit, it will be available in the same time...

Last lap!!

Regards,
Sylvain
 
Etendard Soundset

excellent news.

will the final version have a custom soundset? if not , which do you recommend ?

I have been using the TSS F-16...it works just great with the Etendard. If I remember, you have to add the TSS F-16 to the default Hornet. Etendard picks it up through there. Give it a try until (if) they release their own soundset.
