Virtavia / AlphaSim C-17

Has there been anymore news of the status of the VC for the Alphasim / Virtavia C-17 ?

I remember the last info from AlphaSim as they closed was Virtavia was going to complete the cockpit for this excellent addon.

Does anyone have an update on the VC, it appears to have died peacefully in its sleep.

It's a shame because personally I held off from buying the C-17 waiting for finished VC.

Thanks,

Take a breathe. Take a deep cleansing breathe and relax.

The new VC is being worked on exclusively right now. Virtavia wants this one done and out of here. Some awesome titles also in the works but being sidelined so we can get this one finished once and for all. But not so much that it is being rushed (I know I know) and anyone feels slighted. The preview shots of the new VC I saw this past week are looking really fine. It's not my place to post them here so I can't.

Good news indeed! I've been holding off buying the exterior until the entire bird is finished and getting it all at the same time. Thanks much for the update!
 
Thats great news... hopefully sooner rather than later we will have it available.

I'll take the risk of saying sales of the C-17 should be signifigant when it has a VC.

There are probably people like myself that held off buying the plane without a VC and now would do so (although it was not inexpense).

If anybody gets permission to post development pics please share...

Thanks.

Thank you for providing some comfort lol. Ive been dieing ever since release date for even a picture of the VC, and was very let down by Alphasim after all of this. Its good to actually hear something though, and I very much look forward to the VC.

I agree, it looks really good.

Did I miss a hyperlink somewhere? Where are you guys previewing the cockpit details? I have been awaiting this release from day one and was actually the skewed release plan that moved me away from Alphasim. If they had done something along the order of how Captainsim did with their B-52, I would have bought it without pause.

You didn't miss any link. Please read my post above again if necessary. Centuryseries and Mal998 either work with Alphasim/Virtavia or are on the beta team. That's how we've seen it. When we can show you something we will.

Is it going to be a freebe or do we have to pay for it?

Really?

If you already made an investment in it it will be free to you. Don't know about pricing beyond that. Kind of early, still waiting for the nod to post some screenies, to be worrying about that.

Thanks for the updates Frank. I know you want to share as much as we want to see what you can share. Again, not prodding too much, but followed this project with heated passion while there was still a forum. Now, reluctantly, can't even buy the half finished product. It's a shame the other forum shut down too because many had injected some great improvements into the existing shell at the time. Anyway, will be standing by.

Ian, thanks for the update. I know there are many that will be elated to see this completed, myself included. Also, I understand the reluctance to post or publish anything given the Phoenix type history of the project. If entirely possible, can any pics be published of where it stands currently to hold down the nay sayers? Afterall, the last pics shown were more than two years ago and looked quite spectatcular then.
