S-3 Viking-Dino's at it again!

Dino, did you manage to fly with the newly restored 326 by Renzo Catellani? That's the ride of a lifetime for an Italian aviation nut! Congrats! How was it??
Oh and looking forward to your Viking, the external looks terrific!:applause:

One day, one day, I keep repeating myself with the 346, but I've had lots of problems shaping the cockpit up and alligning everything with only wide-angle reference photos...:banghead:
 
Ooops totally missed that on your blog! BTW, let me know if you're around the Volandia museum, I used to volunteer there, maybe we can arrange something more than a simple visit! :)
 
Hiya Dino,

Guys,
It will take months before there is anything flyable... and it is too bad that I lost the publication that was sent me directly from Lockheed Martin, many years ago (I started an S-3 project for FS2004, but never went ahead... and contacted LM to get some pics of the cockpit....and they were so kind to provide a very informative volume on the S-3).

Check your PM, hope these are the documents you lost.

Well,

as you are aware of, with the release of P3Dv2 I have decided to update all my fSX fleet (T-45C, F-14D and F-35) so that the new sim is fully supported (and took the chance to add some features) - this took much more time than I expected, unfortunately.

as for the S-3 situation is as follows:
- the external model is complete (it is just missing the loadouts)
- the VC was halted because of quality and P3Dv2 issues... and will be redone.

So the release is months away, although I am considering a pre-alpha, release of only the external model (to start getting some feedback)...

By the way, as some of you may be aware of, I had the chance to fly on an Aermacchi MB.326 - and fell in love with it. So I also did some preliminary work on that.

Darn. :( I could give a crap less about prepar3d myself, how about a release of the FSX version you had as is to hold us over? ;)
 
@mgr

Thanks, I'll have a look when I get back home tonight.

@airattackimages

The VC was stopped in the very early stage... nothing you can really use on any platform.
I'll resume working on that as soon as the F-35 update is complete.
 
Hi Dino,

Glad you had a nice flight

By Dino So the release is months away, although I am considering a pre-alpha, release of only the external model (to start getting some feedback)...

Thats a great idea so we can use it has AI tanker or use other internal VC will you be creating an automatic deploy of the hose and basket?

Thanks to all the hard work you do for us with your planes and update with tacpack
