Grumman Duck RELEASED (Finally)

can't and due the usual attitude to start polemic i m not making any new skins. some people get modellers very tired to read and repeat the usual stupid stuff. I JUST HAVE SPOKEN ABOUT RIVETS, THEY WERE REDUCED AT MAX...IF YOU WANT UNDERSTAND OK IF NOT MADE A POST ON RIVETS. WAITING THE NEXT ONE NOW. ALL FOR BECAUSE SOMEONE STARTED THIS STUPID ARGUMENT WITHOUT HE NEVER BOUGHT AND TRIED THE GRUMMAN. FOR ME YOU CAN ALSO CLOSE THIS THREAD AND BYE BYE GRUMMAN.


murphys'war roger..i have seen you enjoyed the flight.
 
Icarus, while I can understand your frustration over the rivet issue you must understand that when you advertise your products here there are going to be things said about them that are not what you want to hear. Just a thought, but getting upset and requesting the thread be closed every time this sort of thing happens might not look good to future customers.
 
Okay,i also want to say my opinion.
When you follow all the threads here with icarus,it`s understandable when
he has slowly enough posting anything.
Remember the thread where i asked about a Gloster Gladiator.
delta-lima answered--"detailed model(FSAddon) interest vs general market(Icarus`) interests"--.
So there must be clear,that icarus builds aircrafts,which are --perhaps--not for people
with an interest of "as real and complicated as it`s possible"
Icarus`aircrafts are nice,have a good VC and also a good sound.
I am sure,he is doing the best he can---not more not less.
Realism settings are "normal",so it must be clear,what type of aircraft they are.
You can jump in and fly away,without reading a manual of 100 sites.
This is a fine possibility when you come home in the evening,you are tired from work and want to make a short flight anywhere.
Of course,his behaviour now is not understandable for everyone,but when that
"rivet" thing is aked 10times i would explode too.
You can ask it 100times,but he probably can not change it in the way you want to have it.
So please,accept him as he is,he builds rare aircrafts and for me---and perhaps some others--
it would be a lost,when he now is going to play with Lego.
My 2cents

Michael's post says it all.
What you get from Icarus mainly, are models that find their way to FsX that otherwise would never see the light of day. He does his best with the tools he has and clearly cannot please all the people all the time.

To Mal...I think the bump map is responsible for the rivet size and that would be where to start if anyone wants to make them smaller.
 
Icarus...please understand me! I am NOT asking you do change anything. Mine was a simple question about painting, which I know nothing about. Please do not get angry because it was only a question.

Now, I will keep my mouth shut from here on. :)

just talked about the rivets..they are much visibile in this skin because is extremely clear and two layer were removed but less less visible in all others as noone talked about it...if you read on our forum all rivets discussion was maked...actually i am really tired to talk about rivets...i wrote to talk about new skins for customers...if you dont want be a customer is not my problem. It's fun that the only critics are from people don't have the Duck. I have received much thank you for a nice aircraft from this model that from all others.

But imagine 3X or 4X your current sales if you address the rivet issue and add a little weathering to your model? Extra money to buy LEGO kit. If you are going to make this level of product "payware", you need to step up the realism of the skinns.
 
can you close this thread thanks ? i m not more interested to interact here thanks

I don't make stuff up. That looks like you wanted it closed to me.
 
I think the time for baiting Icarus has come to an end. English is not his first language and this causes some difficulties in translation.
If you don't like the look of the end product (and there are always plenty of screenshots) then don't buy it.
 
Baiting?

I am sorry Roger, but with all due respect he always does this as soon as someone says anything negative about his stuff. It works both ways...look at his last post. It's like throwing sugar on a picnic to scare away the ants! I think he knows full well what he is doing.

For what it is worth, I did send him a PM after my initial response in which I even offered an apology for posting my opinion in public (that had nothing to do with the model) vice communicating with him via PM. Needless to say, there was no reply.
 
I am fed up with this. Either we want a dev who on the whole does stuff that we wouldn't normally see in FsX, or we don't. The rivet war has gone on since 2009 and as he says that's the best he can do so let's believe it. As I have said before, with Icarus "it is what it is" and the screenshots say what it is like (and there are plenty of them on his site) and his command of English makes it clear that it is not his first languge.
 
(I am sorry Roger, but with all due respect he always does this as soon as someone says anything negative about his stuff)

people write something negative on anything i wrote...also on a video about p38 or anything since last six months...and that this is not my first language do not mean i don't understand perfectly what people wrote.

bytheway you can write anything now because i will not post new or something else..except when i see something that require an answer.

For rivets counter we still have a kit on our website...cheers...writing i don't like this i will not buy or other criticism it's ok writing:
They are more suitable for a battleship's boiler than an aircraft is near to be offensive...i am not the clown of this circus.

There wasn't really rivetcounters that posted, at least what i could see. The only thing was a question if you could tune down the prominence of the rivets. I think it was no neeed to be upset for that, but i respect your decision to not comply to the suggetions made.

Peace and love :wavey:
 
Is the icarusgold site online? I can´t access it in here. I´m having trouble with the duck (Not the rivets), but iddle sound with full power and tail wheel not turning and the flap thing.
Thanks!
