Private-Cowboy 3 Posted March 9, 2008 Share Posted March 9, 2008 Is there an idea when the gliders may be released? I never had much interest in gliding but that package here looks superb. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
}SkOrPn--7 0 Posted March 21, 2008 Share Posted March 21, 2008 Been keeping an eye on this and it's been a while since any news or update on progress. Any chance on a progress report update as I'm really looking forward to this one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Private-Cowboy 3 Posted March 21, 2008 Share Posted March 21, 2008 It seems the project is on hold since the H1 is higher up in the list atm. And then prolly the Catalina. So the Gliders will take a looong while I fear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are waiting for the flight computer that is very late in delivery at this moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

}SkOrPn--7 0 Posted March 22, 2008 Share Posted March 22, 2008 Oki Doki I will just have to keep checking I'm really looking forward to this one so take all the time you need. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
}SkOrPn--7 0 Posted April 3, 2008 Share Posted April 3, 2008 Sure there are! The pure glider version is nearly done. The tespilot took his place. What do you think? Pilot in VC, or no Pilot in VC? Just a mention and this is a personal thing I guess I'm to too fond of bodies being implemented into a cockpits because most of the bodies supplied are rather cheesy. This detracts the feel and effort a modeller does to the awesome aircraft and I know many like this feature so maybe to keep both camps happy allow the consumer during install a choice to exclude/include this cockpit body? Or if that can't be done give a tutorial explaining what files need to be altered so we can remove the body ourself for our own preference Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bullsguy 0 Posted April 3, 2008 Share Posted April 3, 2008 Hello, I agree with }SkOrPn--7 that there should be an option to remove the body of the pilot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Agade 0 Posted April 3, 2008 Share Posted April 3, 2008 I also tend to like it when I get this option, in this case, because sometimes I get tired of just having male pilot models. I do not mind so much in Airliners and other large aircraft, or in military aircraft where you can't see anything under helmets and flight suits, but in gliders and small GA aircraft it is sometimes a bit of a drag. So it would be nice to have a yes/no option in configurator perhaps, assuming the pilot is not integrated into the aircraft model? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J.Schweigler 203 Posted April 4, 2008 Share Posted April 4, 2008 I am trying to implement an option to show/hide the pilot even during flight. But the pilot looks much better now, as in this screens. No insane hands now :-P sharper textures, ultrasmooth moovements with skinned mesh, you will be surprised :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
}SkOrPn--7 0 Posted April 5, 2008 Share Posted April 5, 2008 I am trying to implement an option to show/hide the pilot even during flight. But the pilot looks much better now, as in this screens. No insane hands now :-P sharper textures, ultrasmooth moovements with skinned mesh, you will be surprised :-) That's great news but if the implementation option to show/hide the pilot fails then give us the option to not have it installed in the first place and while you may have done a awesome job on the new pilot I'm still not in favour of having one as I like to choose my options. This for me is a big issue with many payware models and sometimes developers miss out on my money because of that very problem of having a pilot that can't be removed. The plane might well be awesome but if the pilot sits in the back of my mind and I can see it which in turns annoys me then I just can't bring myself to make the purchase. I know this is a personal thing coming from me but sounds like many other simmers think the same so please take on board your customers requests and if need be I'm happy to pay more for this to be removed in my purchased copy from you.......

}SkOrPn--7 0 Posted April 6, 2008 Share Posted April 6, 2008 It will work ;-) Awesome I can't wait for this I just luv my gliding and with this bird it will complete my FSX hanger so thanks for doing it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisB 11 Posted April 11, 2008 Share Posted April 11, 2008 If I could, I'd have a pilot in the 3D VC all the time - that is the one thing that 'kills' far to many screenshots :wink: - all those aerial "Marie Celestes".A removable peelow sounds even better. That will satisfy the FPS hungry user. You ought to patent the technique Jürgen and license it to other model makers. You could add removable pax too.She's looking hot to me. I really have my CC ready and waiting for this one! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eparot 5 Posted April 11, 2008 Share Posted April 11, 2008 Hi,I just discover this beauty, she looks awesome but on all the external screenshots I've the same feeling. The wings look too rigid. Do the wings are animated (wing flex) ?The Discus has an important wing flexibility even if it hasn't a 25m wingspan.Best regards,Emmanuel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J.Schweigler 203 Posted April 12, 2008 Share Posted April 12, 2008 Of course it has.And it has not only the crappy animations of the DG808... It has REAL wingflex.That means, it is g-force addicted, and very smooth.Dont expect too much. Discus has pretty hard wings.You see the wingflex of course, but it is not overdone!Just like in a real plane.Regards Joachim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

}SkOrPn--7 0 Posted April 20, 2008 Share Posted April 20, 2008 Nice so I take it this is a different version of the one below and will both versions be included? I'm sure going to give these motored versions a try for some fun but I must fess up I'm a purest and like just the plain old non propelled gliders.

Private-Cowboy 3 Posted May 7, 2008 Share Posted May 7, 2008 Same here, I'm so waiting for a good glider package. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisB 11 Posted May 11, 2008 Share Posted May 11, 2008 Heck, I have been away for a loooong time, haven't I? I had five weeks of "health issues", fixed now (I hope). I have been involved in other projects in recent weeks but I have not left flight simming. I am still looking forward to this glider, but for those of you who who want to glide already, you might checkout Avsim for these titles - two Aeriane (powered and normal gliders).There's also an Akaflieg SB13 to be found that works well in FSX. And if you are really masochistic, you can also try fsglider.de for a lot of FSX workable gliders. But I hope we don't have long to wait now for this particularly lovely model.
