    Post 16 Update

    Post 17 Warning

Virtavia / AlphaSim C-17

Are there any updates for the public on the VC as far as progress, or even a picture? How is the testing going?
 
All I can say is testing is in progress, VC looks really great, as soon as the boss is happy to release screenshots they will be posted.

It sure looks and feels good.

I wish I could share some screenshots, but it's not too much longer now :jump:

Good to hear. I hope those pictures make it out soon. Thank you for the update. Will any official news be on the Virtavia site?
 
There was a video released recently that includes some VC shots.
It looks much better in the game. Coming out for both FSX and FS9.
And did I mention cupholders? :applause:

:ernae:
 
Long time coming... I have never lost the faith, looks pretty good.
Do FSX aeroplanes not have shadows???
Beautiful skies, great aircraft textures, no shadows...oww

Of course it has shadows! :icon_lol:

Video was probably made in FS9 - I've seen the FSX native version and can confirm 100% that it has self shadowing and all the other FSX bells and whistles.
 
Yea, it's fully shadowed (is that the correct term?) in FSX. Since that video was made before we really started testing the FSX version this past couple weeks I'd have to agree with CenturySeries that it is probably the FS9 version.

There comes a point in all projects where you have to release because the time spent with further testing no longer reveals sufficient bugs or issues to justify holding it back. We have reached that point.

:jump: :applause: :salute: :ernae:
 
Awesome!! Any estimate to the release on the website, or will I have to just spam the refresh button until I see the update news?


EDIT: Answer found! Looks like the website is being update. It has been a long year and a half, and cannot wait to fly with a real C-17 VC

We used to say it as "there comes a point in all projects where you have to shoot the engineers and ship the product"
