New vertigo studios plane readies itself

i realized after i posted this that adjusting brightness and contrast could be seen as retouching, and i'm very sorry for that. Let me offer these pics instead. i've done nothing more than size them down to 1024 wide. And yes, that is ford island n the background. Made me really sad, and angry for the things that had happened there.. but thats another topic, on a different forum. Enjoy.

Beautiful aircraft. I'll have to dig out Barrett Tillman's excellent novel "Dauntless" to tide me over until the release! :jump:
 
Wow... that is really, really extraordinary modelling. That's some of the best weathering I've seen :monkies:
 
Hey, careful Pam! In pic #5 you're dive-bombing Lanikai Beach. That's my favorite stretch of sand on Oahu. Unless of course you're sending down a few crates of Corona, in which case bombs away!
 
dummy bombs on a practice run. like the pilot ::lol:;.. I hadnt bothered to read the manual, so the bomb release mechanism was totally foreign to me.. naturally, I augered in looking for levers..
 
I really and very excited about this release, can hardly wait.

Is there a rough guesstimate besides "soon" on when we will see this, one week, 2 weeks? this weekend? :kilroy:
 
The team is currently applying the final beta fixes, once the beta is released which should be today we will then test it out for a couple of days and then if alls fine she will be released.
 
great news that Deano :ernae:

Pam in the first batch of images looks like you're flying out of that retreat i built you for your test flying, nothing says tricky test flight quite like having to clear a hill on take off :icon_lol: and i hope you remembered to remind your ground staff that my P-40Contra there needs a polish :icon_lol: oh and don't forget to tell them to put it back in the HAS too :icon_lol: great shots and a great plane :salute::medals:
 
i did forget to mention one small detail bout all the shots.. They were all taken while using dx9. well, the dx9 component to dx11 that is.. still.. when dx10 gets turned on, it pretty much takes it to a whole new level..
Oh and smoothy.. no worries about that contra prop.. we take very good care of her :)..
 
Deano, the model looks superb as does the texturing. I've been anxiously awaiting this one and you can count on a sale with me.

I couldn't model my way out of a wet paper bag but I did have one question. From the posted pics so far it looks to me like the canopy is almost "too clear". In other words, I don't see much light reflection off of it which for me, really adds to the beauty and realism of an external model.

Will there be more of a 'glass look' for lack of a better term or are the posted pics how it will look on final?

Either way, I'm still a go with it. Looks to be a great addition to the hangar.
 
Hi, the cockpit glass has now been altered and shows some glimpses of shine.
