F-35 Lightning II version 3.0 for Prepar3D v2.5

[Dino Cattaneo]

In case you do not follow my facebook page or my blog - here are two preview pircture of the new version 3.0 of my F-35 project.

This version is specifically built for Prepa3D + Tacpack. Main features at the moment are:
- An improved visual model (F-35B only at the moment... but the F-35A is being worked on) with more 3D details and better textures
- Improvements to the cockpit fuctionality (including ASR mode and TFLIR / DAS ....although they will not be completely independent due to memory restrictions)
- Improvements to the VC graphics and functionalities
- Improvements to the flight model according to the latest publicly available information

I have no idea of when it will be ready but it looks very promising so far.

The MB.339 and Eurofighter projects are on hold.

I am not using my "personal" private profile (Dino Cattaneo) for flight simming stuff... just to share things with friends.

Looks great!!! Once again thanks Dino for your wonderful models; I spent some good hours this weekend with my son flying the good old F14 practicing carrier landings. It is still one of our favorite planes.

TFLIR imagery projected onto the HMD - allowing the pilot to look through the aircraft...

You never seem to stop amazing us with the updates Dino. The latest look fantastic.

Looking forward to seeing whatever else you work into the jet.

Cheers,

Fantastic work! I'm really looking forward to the "new" F-35. The first Norwegian A (AM-1) model should be coming out of the factory any day now as well. It will be interesting to see how it is painted.

Test flight nearby Luke AFB - BlueSky Arizona scenery... I do not understand why I have not downloaded and installed their Arizona scenery so far... but it is a perfect setting for the F-35, and the quality of the imagery is really good.

Very good Dino. I assume that's still P3dv2.5, as TacPack doesn't work in v3 yet.

 

[Dino Cattaneo]

Yes - it is P3Dv2.5.
Hopefully Tacpack will be upgraded to P3Dv3.0 soon... the new versions is less prone to OoM errors (and the F-35 is really memory-consuming)...
