So…we got a new 3d artist/developer joining our DCS ranks, please welcome Egar and his Emb-312 Tucano. These are early renders and the model is currently going thru extensive work to make it DCS functional. The model might look familiar to some, since it has been marketed as “APEX Emb-312” for the FSX/P3D community.The DCS version will be marketed under the RAZBAM brand for the DCS comunity and will be based (after it´s done it´s fair to say loosely based) on this very same mesh.As usual, no release dates or deadlines, it will be ready…when ready Welcome aboard Egar!
Most definitely. He is like the Tom Brokaw of DCS News… Glad to have @Silver_Dragon providing some updates. And that Tucano is awesome… It will be high on my list of favorites I’ll bet…
Speaking of primary trainers, I have been tinkering with Prepar3D v3 and in particular, getting my FSX add-on a/c and scenery to work. Orbx still has a few issues, but getting there. Global FTX here with Pacific NW and Aerosoft PANC. The T-6A might no longer be the cat’s meow, but it checks off a lot of my joyride boxes. Very much looking forward to the Razbam Tucano.
That’s a beautiful video. I think that T-6 was made for P3D by Iris if I’m not mistaken…so it is a pretty fair version. Although @anon51893362 will be a long in 3, 2, 1 to tell us all the stuff that is totally unrealistic about it (I seem to recall he flew the T-6…?). That PANC scenery is nice too. I bought it for X-Plane (also Aerosoft) and ended up combining parts of it with some freeware PANC because the Aerosoft X-Plane version isn’t populated with aircraft…which makes the field look sort of lifeless. I still haven’t gotten around to figuring out the scenery editing in X-Plane…(sorry @weaponz248 )
Thanks Chris! Actually, it is a first gen Iris release for FSX of the T-6A, but they have a newer release “inspired” by the T-6B/C for P3D that I’ll probably upgrade too. However, as can bee seen in the video, FSX aircraft and scenery can work reasonably well in P3D v3. I say reasonably, because I am still having some mesh issues. On closer inspection, you can see that some of the residential area on the south side of PANC is experiencing some flooding. Not sure if that is an Aeorsim or Orbx issue, but probably won’t worry too much about it. My favorite part of Aerosim PANC are the winter textures on the North ramp. Snow dusted parking places which look like giant snow angels in the asphalt made by previously parked aircraft. What detail.
Flying this type of aircraft is satisfying to say the least. Notice that I’m pretty sloppy on takeoff roll maintaining the centerline with the amount of torque being developed by the PT6. The power to weight ratio is such that aerobatics are effortless. It’s easy to see why they make excellent military trainers, especially for those at the top of their class.
Glad to have
