P-40F Preview With Mudspike

Hi Guys,

 

Chris and I along with some other members of the team have done a Q&A With Chuck Owl for Mudspike.

 

If you want a sneak peak of the new cockpit textures and some more information on the VEAO P-40F go and check it out!

Nice review Chuck. Looking forward to the release. Thanks Pman.

Nice review... Good read, nice job. Looking forward to autumn.

Thanks, looking forward. :-)

Looks stunning!

It's good to see that all the lessons learned in the Hawk will make the release of the P-40F much smoother.

 

Making sure the module is feature complete is definitely the right thing to do, and developers should never be afraid to fly in the face of the impatience of this forum.

 

Great work VEAO, I look forward to getting my hands on this lovely looking module!

Tha's a long wait....

Tha's a long wait....

 

For the reasons stated in the review... Did you not see the witch hunt following the issues with the Hawk? All that's happened is that VEAO have done exactly what the forum demanded. You can have it quick, or you can have it right, you can't ever have both.

 

The lesson ALL developers will learn is NEVER rush a release. If you're not happy with that, then keep hold of your cash until any module you want to get hold of reaches full release.

 

You'll not get it any sooner by complaining. Just accept it, you have no say and no choice.

Nice Review looking forward to fly P-40

Looks like a step into the right direction.

Thanks for the update.

You're welcome and again thanks for your comments.

W O W !!! Very impressive.Looks like a totally different Aircraft than what was revealed years ago,Hats Off to Gibbage and VEAO for putting in the Quality Research and Work.

 

Will be a Day 1 buy for me.

That does look a lot more interesting than I originally was thinking. I do hope I get to fly it but I hope Chris and team that you understand I would like to fly the finished flyable Hawk first before allowing for another purchase. Hoping the team settles and grows with experience so we can see more products!

The team are currently working on the falling-out-the-sky issue and other Hawk bug fixes Pikey so yes I fully understand :)

That does look a lot more interesting than I originally was thinking.

 

Indeed, I'm not really interested in this aircraft, but what I just read sounds really appealing. I especially like the depth of the ASM with all the hydraulics, fluids and temperature simulation. :thumbup:

Maybe I'll give it a try eventually. I'll see.

As I said some time back when I saw the P-40 at Duxford in the spring people won't be dissapointed. It's good to see that VEAO are getting some recognition for good quality skilled work. With a VR headset on this module looked stunning. I'm sure there will be comments about how long it has taken but that's life. If it takes another six months to get it finished to the standards they set themselves that's how long it takes. Really looking forward to this.

From all planes I do enjoy most the WW2 era (kind of IL2 old boy)... So I am really expecting this P40 to came up (and the others for the same age)... and hopefully this will be free of bugs and full of how-to-code wisdom :).

 

Just want to add here that even I love DCS and flying in general so much, I found myself playing/flying in Arma3 in the last half an year. In this moment I really want to return to DCS... but I am kind of bored of key reconfiguration so many time - alpha, beta , delta, gama ... :)... also the community is small and already splitted by the servers versions.

 

C'mon ED, c'mon 3rdparty.... dont't loose the momentum you gained with this fabulous new engine !!!! ... and you VEAO especially... you were first here, still have a lot to catch up ;)

Good read, thanks for sharing!

I'm more into the jets than WW2 warbirds, but who knows, that may change in the future. :D

Glad you guys like it.

Yep me too, as everyone here knows, but I'm really enjoying flying this bird, especially in VR :pilotfly:

Yep, after a hands on session at Flying Legends last Saturday, I'm very happy with the progress on the P-40F. Compared to what we had in the first internal tests, this is pure awesomeness.

 

And I'm glad that people recognize the work that has gone into the ASM stuff, as you won't "see" much of it, but it is the key to very, very, very realistic behaviour and performance of the aircraft!

For example the Huey still does not model effects of exhaust gas temperature, which allows for continues operation beyond any safety limits, whereas in real life, this would quickly damage the engine. Don't get me wrong, I love the Huey and force myself to watch the EGT especially on startup, but it is lacking, compared to the detailed hydraulic and other ASM modeling VEAO does in the P-40F as well as the Hawk.

So a lot of hard yet very important work has been done in the background, that will give us a very realistic system modeling, which is actually what DCS is all about. :)

Looks really great, guys. I can respect the desire to "get it right" and that is the reputation DCS has come to enjoy, despite any timeline criticisms. Thank you for all of the hard work behind the scenes and as one of the pre-orders, I am very excited to try it out.

 

Also, great work, Chuck. Was a good read and very informative.

Yup / great read / looking forward to the challenge for sure

but it is lacking, compared to the detailed hydraulic and other ASM modeling VEAO does in the P-40F as well as the Hawk.

LOL, Huey (and the rest Belsimtek toys) is simply incomparable to HAWK in its current state - not in favor of the latter, of course.
