Two new previews from Alphasim

[mgchristy]

An amazing looking C-17...and unfortunately it'll be their "most expensive release" to date, according to Phil.

And a Rutan Long-EZ??? A surprising non-military departure for AS...

Thanks for the HU MG ;-)

They both look very good.. perhaps another notch up from the best we've seen from them so far

Hi Guys

they are 3DSMax renders so don't get too exited.

No Offence to Alphasim but they won't look half as good in sim as the sim still can't do lighting & shadows properly.

the Captainsim C130 is the only model i have seen that got close to that look in FS9 so model will be a good one

Regards

Yes indeed mate. Mickoo has a happy nack of making very nice looking renders. My comment above was aimed mainly at the Rutan.. especially the inside (which is in the sim). Nice round gauges and (at last) 3D by the looks of things ;-) I can wait 12months for either though to be honest, only one vaguely interests me

I find the same with ACM....they look far better in there than in FS :think:

But still...that's a cracking model

I'm very happy about the Long EZ, it looks like it's being marketed against the RealAir SF260 and the Sibwings Saab Safir with its 3D gauges and similar pice tag. I hope it comes out well because it looks like a real winner and I'll certainly be picking it up if the exterior matches the interior quality.

Sorry, been a long bad 34 hr day/night/day shift.

Hi Michael

Does'nt offend anyone mate.

just pointing out Renders look better than in Sim ie:FS9 & FSX.

thats not saying the model was not good.

not sure why you have got upset ????

[DaveB]

I didn't take it as being offensive either Rick.. just matter of fact

Looks cool in the sim too Michael ;-)

It sure does look nice......My point was that FS does not do things justice as they look better in other mediums
