Maam-Sim's upcoming Yellow Peril!

That cup of tea looks just fine to me! Fantastic. Can't wait for release.
 
Of all the airplanes the Navy flew around us during the war, the N3-N was the most noticed since they were constantly flying low, making touch and goes at Beverly airport. It's just great that you people at MAAM are taking the time and effort to keep alive this great old bird. It's seldom indeed that someone puts the added effort to make an honest airplane. For those kids that don't appreciate a true aircraft, I'll leave them to their oil burners. But this is a true airplane in every sense of the word. Marvelous workmanship!
 
As they said this is a project to break into FSX with. It will be a learning experience For the guys at MAAM. From the look of it this 'test bed' is a great indication of what we can expect when their B25 and C47 are released. I have all the aircraft MAAM has done for us and the N3N will not be an exception. WOW bring it on!
 
I know how much it takes to get this kind of detail into a model. And knowing Jan and Hansi, they will go through great lenghts, to present you a bar raising model in FSX.

Cheers, Rob
 
The little local grass strip airport in town only has about 6 or so aircraft that are actually based out of the field.

This N3N is one of them. I've only seen it rolled out once a year during the annual breakfast fly-in. Normally it's tucked in the hanger right next to the owners home.

Yea, we had one in the hangar at the FBO I used to work for and it would sit in the corner for months on end collecting dust and pidgeon crap, lol. Then the owner would call from Dallas out of the blue and say he was on his way to fly for an hour or so and could we tow it out and get it ready? lol

The battery was dead, it needed a complete wash job and it was like 4 in the afternoon on a Friday and I was just leaving to go home, lol. . .sure, no problem, lol.
 
Holy....... WOW!!!!

The detail!

When MAAM-SIM does something, they sure do it right!

Really looking forward to their FSX native B-25J. I know it's in the works and will be while, but if the N3N is any indication of how the FSX native B-25 will look... :jump:
 
My cup of tea is anything MAAM does because I know my money spent there is going to a outstanding cause! Bring it on MAAM!!:jump:​

Agreed! Right on. Excellent details and texture mapping and textures. Wow! I cannot imagine the work that went into all the details. Great job! :applause:
 
count me in too...

a keystone of the foundation of US Naval aviation and a venerable beauty of a biplane
 
Had time to really look through all the progress shots....man-o-man....this model is really incredible....sure to be a favorite in my hanger. May actually have to take this baby across country after it's release.
 
Thanks, guys ! :salute:

Nice surprise seeing our first native FSX born being welcomed with such enthusiasm here at SOH. Thanks for the HU, Tim ! :)

Goes without saying that we understand it's not everyones' cup of tea but unlike the Kaydet and Tiger Moth the N3N has only been done once for an earlier FS version and like Helldiver also mentioned it still is a pretty iconic airplane particularly re the Navy ( thanks Bob :salute: ) and its been sitting there in the MAAM hangar for years winking at us.

On top of that we thought it would be a good exercise to get acquainted with all intricaties and possibillities that come with native FSX design. A comfortable breeding ground for rebuilding our DC-3, B-25 and Turkey so to speak.

Thanks once again for the nice comments, gents ! :)

On behalf of Maam-Sim,
Cheers,
Jan
 
I have purchased all MAAM's a/c (BT/DC3/TBM) but since DX10 they sit in a corner
Really looking forward to the next "native FSX" hoping it's DX10 compliant !!!!!
Anyway I'll get it when available :wiggle:

Thanks, Italo, we'll sure look into that too. Up front, can you give a short description of the difference between DX9 and 10 when it comes to FSX... ?
Are there any other advantages over DX9 apart from VC shadows ?

Cheers,
Jan
 
There are lots of mixed reviews on DX10. Some see differences and many don't.

Unfortunately most of us can't or don't run DX10 because of all the anomalies that come along with it....i.e., flashing runways, missing afterburner effects, weird looking shadows, etc.

I would imagine at this point most are running DX9.
