The title of the thread is "Community Development Team Announcement", what part can the community play? Is the team closed, is the source open? Its there an public team site?

1. The community can participate in our efforts to release aircraft as the need arises. Right now the need is focused on modeling and FM development.

2. The team is invite only and the criteria is not set in stone. If you have a skill set that we are in need of you will surely be invited. Just contact me anytime.

3. The site we are using is not open as of yet. We are in the process of acquiring out 3rd Party Dev status with the producers and ED. Till then our site is secret on Facebook. Once we find out what we can say based on the NDA we will gladly open the site up. We hope to obtain our forum project thread in the Dev section soon and that will be were most of the communication come from.

The first two projects are going to be free to you all. We are in the learning as we go phase but we are capturing lessons learned. Those will be made available to the Community.

I hope I answered your questions.

Everyone here at VRC is doing this because we want to support the Community on our own time and when our family, jobs, daily life allows us the do so.

Respect is key!

I hope I answered your questions.

Yes thanks :-)

Nice one guys , hope all goes well for you :)

Are the final versions of your initial flyable aircraft going to be freeware, or will they turn into payware?

At this time we fully intend to keep them free. The two air frames are purely for proof of concept and to help us get our development process down. We will continue to improve them as we mature as a team.

I pray it's a 58D. "It is a single seat air frame that does have a copilot seat but very rarely utilized." I guess in terms of the sim, it would be.

"So we are making it single only to speed up development time. Later on we plan to update her to take advantage of the second seat as a gunner role." If by 'gunner', you mean shooting out the door with an M4.

"It is a muli-mission bird but does not have the legs or payload to fight very long." Full bladder, only like 2.5 hours of sustainability. Payload-wise, looking at only like 7 hydras and 350 .50 rounds. And that's without a full fuel load. Usually like 4 hydras.

I know it's not going to be the Kiowa, but I'm gonna keep up the hope that it is.

And the thread is dead :(

Just stumbled onto this. Good luck team if your still working together:thumbup:
