The real thing is not as roomy on the inside, and no "window seat" available at check-in.

Do not worry, the model will modify it for me, i do not expect this exact 100%, it is enough for me

[CIMOGT]

The model is based on the Rick Sasala C-2 A

[expat]

Are you converting it to FSX native? That would be wonderful.

[PhantomP]

Could I please get a copy if it's no problem?Thanks

[tgycgijoes]

I have been working on textures for the C2A Greyhound from Abacus Flight Deck 5 for myself but problem with sharing is you gotta have FD5 or FD6 Greyhound. I would be happy to do some repaints from my artwork onto your Greyhound like the photo of the one I did of VRC 40 #41 and share with ya all here.

There are just 2 window seats. I was lucky enough to get one of them on my flight off USS KITTY HAWK. :triumphant:

Yes now is native for fsx/p3d

Thanks, the model are ready i only need check the rudder animation

[tgycgijoes]

Have only flown off the CVA-66 USS America in the C1A COD and in the UH2C Seasprite. From land I had a number of flights in the P3 Orion and a UH1B Huey at NAS Glenview and a C-9 from Glenview to North Island and back my last ACDUTRA in RIMPAC 93. Everything else has been civilian aircraft small to big. Never had a chance to fly in a C-2 or an E2.

Thanks for updating the C-2. Hope we get the 6-blade version, but that's me. Great VC, BTW.

This is the 8 blade version

Really nice job, Rick's models (C-2/E-2, EA-6B, Gulfstream) got much use in FS2k2 and FS9 from. Funny all the things I wished for have come true (moving boats, in-flight refueling...)

[JosefK]

Great news!

For refueling, i modify a kc135 and add the boom operator position, and other things as the vc, maybe later add a post

[tgycgijoes]

Really looking forward to this release here. It was so disappointing when Vertigo Studios stopped development of their C-2. Since this is the 8 blade scimitar version I'll look around for some new photos of VRC-40 and VRC-30 for some texture inspiration later this week.

[Dino Cattaneo]

...for the record, I had started a C-2 / E-2 payware project, too. Preliminary work does not look bad at all... but as usual my problem is lack of time. The project has not been canceled (at least for now) but it is unlikely I'll have something to share until late 2018 :-(

[expat]

Good news Dino. With Virtavia making their E-2 exclusive to steam, we are really in need of a native P3Dv4/FSX Hawkeye model. Will be worth the wait.

[tgycgijoes]

With the quality of your work in the past, Dino, it will be worth the wait for sure. As you mentioned "payware" there is definitely room for both freeware as here and a payware that is NOT Steam or Dovetail Games but available through the regular vendors like PCAviator etc.

I'll wait for you Dino, no worries.

[Tool]

Yeah Dino, waiting for you is no problem at all. All of your work is outstanding!

[simulloyd]

I think most would agree that any aircraft Dino releases will be worth the wait.

Regarding the Steam only E-2 Hawkeye. Can anyone shed light on why this decision was made? Did Virtavia expect to make a killing on this exclusive approach?

[tgycgijoes]

Still patiently waiting for you to finish. When you do I am considering starting a virtual VRC-30 group of simmers. PM me if you might be interested since its a lot of work to do it right and I have in the past done a couple ending with one pilot, me. This time. Apologies didn't mean to hijack this thread.

Dino the great is doing one as well. Well worth the wait. The C-2 has NOT gotten the love it should get.

Just saw this question so I'll answer it. Since Virtavia has their entire catalog as Downloadable Content (DLC) for Dovetail Games (DTG) they were contacted to make something exclusive.
The subject was agreed upon and a decent mesh starting point was found and purchased. The VC was built from scratch.

Those of us who became involved after the contract was "signed" urged that this also somehow by made available on all formats since DTG encrypts their DLC to only work in FSX-SE.
A further constraint is that DTG does not put any military markings on any of their military aircraft. My efforts so far to remedy that. (http://www.mirage4fs.com/Alphasim/)

So no, Virtavia did not expect to make a killing since it wasn't their decision. But they were paid well for their initial efforts and it continues to sell.

I hope this answers your question. Put the blame where deserved -- DTG for picking a subject that would sell well for them.

But it looks like Dino will give us all what we want, a more modern version.

[tgycgijoes]

I am looking forward to Dino's C-2 Greyhound as well as this freeware version because there are some who just can't afford payware even if reasonable. I am happy for DTG and Virtavia. They gotta do what they gotta do. They are both in this as a business not freeware uploads. As I said above: GO DINO!!!:encouragement:

:ernaehrung004: I was also bummed at the SE only Hawkeye. I would have bought it in an instant as Virtavia makes some nice and often quirky (thanks for the Savage, Tradewind and XB-46) stuff. Maybe Dino will offer a Hawkeye if the Greayhound does well. (I'll be getting his Typhoon this weekend because I saw there's a BoB 75th skin for it!)

[tgycgijoes]

Just wanted to be sure this was still active. Any timeframe on the release of this great-looking Greyhound?

It'll release when Dino of https://www.facebook.com/Indiafoxtecho-594476197232512/ announces it. As somebody who is waiting patiently... I know, I know.

[tgycgijoes]

I was asking about CIMOGT's which is what this thread started. I know that Dino has a schedule for his stuff and yes waiting to see what he does too. Shame about exclusive DTG E2C it looks really nice inside in their manual I saw last night. I've got Dino's T45, F14 and S3 and they are really nice agreed.

[JosefK]

Thanks much. :-)

Can't wait to start testing this one !
