MIlviz CH-47D Chinook

Unfortunately I do regret to inform you that the Chinook has been put on the back burner. We are pressing ahead with other internal Milviz projects. As stated above though the Nemeth's are working on their in house products first. We are working on the F-15 SP though, and working on other projects. So all is not lost.

This is quite disappointing news. While there are a few outstanding F-15s available, no excellent (operative word: EXCELLENT) Chinook exists. I was really waiting for this one.
 
Personally...I cant exactly let the F-15 come out as excellent....It has to be the top. Or nothing. One of the 2. And it definitely wont be nothing if I can help it....
 
I emailed ND and got a swift reply, all be it a very sad one.

Hi Keith,


At the beginning of November only a pre-alpha version of the model was sent to our partner Milviz. That was just an early preview of the model whose purpose was to let them verify if there is any changes on the model or textures are necessary in order to make it shown in FS correctly. That means it was far from beta testing. Since then we made additional works on the chinook, as a matter of fact is is very close to a real beta test version now but meanwhile we continued to work on our own AS350 project. The developments of that project started for more earlier than the Chinook so we decided to finish that first before we allocate all of our resources on the Chinook project.


The AS350 will be released around Xmas, this means the developments of the Chinook will continue after that but at the moment I really shouldn't/can't give you an exact release date for that.


Best regards,
Tamas Nemeth
 
I dont see how that reply is in any way sad. They confirmed that the Chinook was still in progress, and would be released soon after there current project is done. Good things come to those who wait.

Yeah, just noticed that as well....admins? Not that you owe us any answers, but I've never seen anythingremotely bad spewing forth from Colin's messages, only the occasional bad business deals.

Maybe the admins also got tired of listening to it? :kilroy:
 
Colin, has been banned as he got a bit too personal towards an other member and as you all know personal attacks aren't allowed here.

ahhh really, i enjoyed his rants , bummer

sometimes we the consumers need to be put in our places, i know i get my fair share, but life goes on,

if some consumers are that thin skinned theres always avsim to get there free models from
 
I must ask that we not speculate as to where/what the issue was, as that's not fair to the general membership.
Getting back on topic...

Think Colin got the point. Hope SOH-admin's will let him return. It's almost X-mas :ernae::snowman::santahat:
 
I was just suprised because normally we see the discussion publicly and then know what's coming down the pipeline next. It is unfortunate and rules are rules. It is nice that he is one of a few developers that actually take feedback from their products in this forum, along with Francois, Bill and a few others. It would be most unfortunate for all if he doesn't return based on the ban.

Well I have been absent a lot due to my move, so kind of my fault about the lack of information (sometimes I do give you guys to much information, and that gets me in trouble :icon_lol:). With that being said my FSX computer is being set back up, and I am getting back in to the swing of things. I will be testing the SP/Afterburner fix hopefully tomorrow, and things will be back on track... Personally I thought (thought being the operative word) that the Chinook would be well in Alpha by the time I finished moving. That obviously did not materialize, and we are looking in to alternatives at the moment. It just sucks that I can completely disassemble, and reassemble real helicopters. I cannot however program virtual helicopters as I have come to find out. You cannot win for losing sometimes. :gameoff:

On a side note it will be up to the mods whether or not Colin returns. Personally I do not think that is up for our discussion, and it probably should not be mentioned at all. That being said Icky and them are kind, and I do have a feeling that he will be back. That is for him to work out with them though. I am back and about so I will be giving everyone their needed updates again now.

Darn, you're strict :a1089:!
Back to topic; looking at the first posts in this thread, i'd like to see updates and progress on this one. Not that i dislike the other Chinooks already available, but this one looks so darn good! I'm into choppers lately, and a realistic looking CH-47 (which can be converted to current and future RNLAF Chinooks) is still heavily on my whishlist!
 
Vince, it will take some time for the Chinook to arrive, as stated earlier in the thread.
Also the model planned is the CH-47D with analogue flight intruments, no glass cockpit as ours in the RNLAF.

Cheers,
Hank
