Airhunter Posted September 19, 2019 Share Posted September 19, 2019 Since Wags mentioned this in the latest mini-update: "External model, in particularly the landing gear and aircraft underside. Even at early access release, the skin will still be preliminary." Does this mean the Viper will release with an "unfinished" model/base textures and only one livery?

donkeyrider Posted September 20, 2019 Share Posted September 20, 2019 It does sounds that way. I'm okay with this. I'd rather have the module earlier rather than waiting for the external model to be finalised. There are going to be so many liveries for this module so perfecting it is the right thing to do.

Snoopy Posted September 20, 2019 Share Posted September 20, 2019 Well, that is actually a no-go item for me. It is kinda funny how often we hear the 3d model and textures are the “easy” part and the Vipers won’t be finished for EA. v303d Fighter Group Discord | Virtual 303d Fighter Group Website | v303rd Fighter Group Twitter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mvsgas Posted September 21, 2019 Share Posted September 21, 2019 How is this a big deal? Other F-16 sims have unfinished skins or wrong skins for years and people don't seem to mind. F-16A with wrong RWR antennas, wrong landing gear or chaff/flare buckets. Wrong cockpit panels or wrong location of the panels. Why all of a sudden this is such a big deal here? Could we all wait and see how it looks on EA? To whom it may concern, I am an idiot, unfortunately for the world, I have a internet connection and a fondness for beer....apologies for that. Thank you for you patience. Many people don't want the truth, they want constant reassurance that whatever misconception/fallacies they believe in are true..

Airhunter Posted September 21, 2019 Author Share Posted September 21, 2019 The viper will be released in to early access, and phase 1 of the plan will start. We will see more skins as the early access progresses. Yeah but why not take a couple weeks longer to finish up the model and textures? Never have I ever seen a module relase into EA with an unfinished external model or just one skin. Was this the case with the Hornet as well? Heck, if you give me or some known community people the paintkit, we'll gladly volunteer to create a handful of different liveries. You should also mention this on the phase 1 EA page as people are not aware what they'll be geting on day one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As long as the external model is still being worked on, making a template is useless because it will keep changing until the model is complete. As for the Hornet - they released the template before they released the plane. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Please remember this will be early access and you will be participating in the development as it happens. We hope to bring you all as much as we can for initial release into early access, the team is working hard to make it happen. When we have a date we will let everyone know.

ED Team NineLine Posted September 22, 2019 ED Team Share Posted September 22, 2019 It is kinda funny how often we hear the 3d model and textures are the “easy” part and the Vipers won’t be finished for EA. Not sure who you are referencing in saying the 3D modeling and texturing is easy, but in any case, many EA models see tweaks and adjustments during Early Access. The Viper is only going through final adjustments now. Everything following that should be pretty minor, and I would expect the template to not be far behind. Answer to the original question is probably not as many as we would like, but I hope we see more soon after, not to mention the template for all the talented artists in the community. We have a number of skins in game for other modules supplied by them as well.
