French VFR site

[OleBoy]

I've no idea if this has been made aware of or not. I found reference to the site which was posted here not too long ago in the developers forum.
I thought I'd post it here where it will get better seen. http://frenchvfr.free.fr/download.php?lng=en

I have their Corsica package, fantastic. Terrain resolution isn't as sharp as some, but I fly there more than anywhere else :)

er, wrong FrenchVFR site 'guzler'!

The link that Oleboy provided points to 'Beercan' and 'Lagaffe' s (SOH user names) place, where they are hosting their
high-poly models like the Druine Turbulent pointed out by Roger.

Check out the Nieuport 17, get in the VC and climb under the panel, you'll see twisted lockwire on the fuel valve !

Confusion between our site " French-VFR " and " France-VFR " site dedicated to French sceneries!
At any rate, thank you for your interest for French sites of creation! (They are rare)

[OleBoy]

By looking at the details and knowing they are FS2004 models, I can only imagine what they actually display like in the sim. This is only due to my not having FS9 installed. From that aspect I am missing a lot. I have since moved on to Prepar3D.

From what I do see, lots of detail. Of which is my main attraction for virtual flight. Bernard, you mentioned you are learning the FSX SDK. I think that in itself is fantastic after seeing your skills applied to your FS9 models!

I've signed up for your newsletter too :salute:

Great craftsmanship :medals:

[beercan]

OleBoy,

The story is more complex.
I began at first with the SDK of Fs2002, then Fs2004. In view of the limitations of Fs2004, I passed naturally on FsX, where from the creation with the SDK of FsX. But, regrettably, this one is also limited in possibilities.
I read, on the Internet, the publications on the technique ULE (UnLimited export).
Dissatisfied by this method ULE, I created my method ( ULE2), based about on the same tools but from which the logic is different, what allows me to create models in very high definition and without limit of the number of polygons.
The size of the file MDL is lower than that of the equivalent ULE, and more easily.

I thus create my models for Fs2004 then adapt them to FsX who accepts them, while the SDK cannot create them and FsX cannot use them!
Quite French logic!:bump:

[Dev One]

beercan,
Any chance that you might publish your ULE2 process?

Something is wrong with the link. I will check your web site.

[DennyA]

Thanks, BeerCan! But yes, trying to download the reworked version gives this error: "Download permission denied by uploader. (0b67c2f5)"

Sorry, RapidShare has changed the management of access rights.
It is repaired.

After reading the name "OldBoy" on the side I was inspired to give this a go. Being installed in Prepar3D, I gave it a test. Pretty impressive. I like it. You've modeled a lot of details throughout the model. First off and after taxiing to the runway, this one seemed to have plenty of power. The pitch of the prop pulled it on the tarmac well. Like a hotrod gripping the pavement when stepping on the gas. A sort of lunge feel as I rolled along. Being at the end of the runway and ready to throttle up, I slowly moved the throttle forward till a good rolling momentum was attained. Then, I firewalled the throttle. Before I realized it I was up on step and tail up. Away we go!

Lots of power. I love the sounds as they flow through the graduations of throttle movements. The change in pitch. Awesome. She's responsive. And quick.
Not meaning to degrade what you've created, although the FDE could use some TLC to give it better response and grace. She flies real nice otherwise. A nice addition of open cockpit rides.

My testing was done in P3D. I'd like to say first that I'm not complaining. My comments here on are only observations for you.
I noticed that when the model was loaded (In P3d I have everything on and cranked to 100%) that there were shade spikes always following the model. They seemed to transmit back to the starting point from where I took off from. It was a strange anomaly I've only experienced with this model. Also the textures seem to lack visual depth.

Like I say, just my observations for your reference.

Thank you for the model :)

[Sascha66]

The Tagazou is a great plane. But I cannot trim it, it always noses down if I do not pull on the stick. Can I change this?

I also like the Super Dupont, it has become my favourite plane for sightseeing trips.

Thank you!

Cheers, Sascha

[beercan]

Hello,
A damaged texture provoked the destruction of the shadow of the plane.
The corrected file is available on this address:

Sorry, I cannot correct the previous comment. I destroy the previous file on RapidShare.

Very nice of you to share your enjoyment and labors.
It's calling my name even!

Thank you.

Thanks M. BeerCan. This is an avion that is much fun to fly. Merci beaucoup for all your hard work! Thanks for posting it for us. I can't wait to see your future work.

To anyone who hasn't flown Tag yet I say: be ready with your right foot for the take-off torque and it's easy to send the Manifold Pressure into the red zone so apply the throttle smoothly and gingerly.

Best Regards,
Obie

Good news ...
After 4 months of work the first version of the FREMM Aquitaine for FSX/P3D is finally published on French-VFR (see section Download "Library and static objects.")

http://img821.imageshack.us/img821/1690/0io9.jpg
for a larger picture follow this link: http://img850.imageshack.us/img850/5612/rvg2.jpg

The door problem (http://www.fsdeveloper.com/forum/showthread.php?t=425210) has find his solution. This was resolved with the usage of RFN gauge : TACAN v4.1 (http://royalefrenchnavy.perso.sfr.fr).
With this gauge it is possible to send a key event from your aircraft to an AI in order to command an action.

An AI traffic (France- Arcachon) is provided in the basic package which allows you to familiarize yourself with the techniques of landings at sea on this wonderfull French frigate! To take full advantage, it is imperative to download this gauge and install it in your FSX/P3D and your helicopter in order to locate the boat at sea.

Then nothing prevents you to create your own AI traffic view or use AI Carriers to create a fleet with other boats as Charles de Gaulle or Forbin.

This static or dynamic element is usable in FSX and P3D and more it is compatible DX10 . A surprise to find well hidden around the ship :) .... you have to find it!

A v2.0 with improvements is golds already provided by the cool team :salute:

[FSX68]

It's asking for a user name and password!!!

[lagaffe]

@ FSX68: Yes, because you don't read carefully all informations on my site: some downloads are protected against hotlinks by a name of user and a password which are en red in the description lines under the screenshot which present the download.

Another download is ready to use:
In order to test landing operation on this warship, Beercan a created a new helicopter which is also ready to download on French-VFR.

92659

It is under "Aircraft P3D" section and it was tesed under FSX. I think that P3D can accpet it without problem but the test hasn't be made.
This version has a HUD and can be used with the RFN TACAN gauge v4.1 ( http://royalefrenchnavy.perso.sfr.fr (http://http://royalefrenchnavy.perso.sfr.fr) )

You have also a an aircraft version of theses Bercan researchs with this STOL model:

92669

which is also ready to use under "Aircrafts P3D" section of French-VFR.

All theses creations are DX9 and DX10 tested and validated !

[FSX68]

All this stuff is nice but it's not doing me any good if I have to provide passwords and go thru hoops just to D/L a file. And still can't D/L a thing!!!

If I said that this is not a source of frustration I'd be lying. :icon35:

Exactly the same for the helo via this page hxxp://frenchvfr.free.fr/download.php?lng=fr&pg=331

I've changed http to hxxp to avoid hotlinking

[FSX68]

OK I finally saw the password and other stuff (IN RED) and now it is downloading. Whew!!!! Such a deal for me....:icon_lol:



Thank you for your airplane.

[lagaffe]

Exact Cajj1,

Theses protections were be implemented againts hotlinks on ours creations.
Lats week, some people who have no morals has put hotlins to our files and also to questionable files torrents kind. To stop these practices we decided to protect our site, even if it complicates the use of our files.

Sorry for the inconvenience and hoping you enjoy our creations :jump:

Hi,sir.

FREMM frigate in FSX is my dream, I really love this frigate, Very big thanks to her creators and all people at the French-VFR :salute:

92712

I have some questions. As you can see, the flight deck is not in the position for flight operations(launch or recover the helo) as in your top picture here. How could you do that? or is it the V2 version?

Will you have repaints for more ships like Normandie and Mohammed VI?

Thanks again, sir :salute:

[Paul Domingue]

Very nice find Don. :applause:

I know the exact site you're referring to... I'd seen that one myself... really bad form on their part, considering the content... Bad form to both freeware and payware developers.

[lagaffe]

Thanks Sindhu,

I don't need any informations because I work very closely all theses boats :salute: so it's not necessary. A Normandie which will goes with Aquitaine is in mies plans.

There is a bug in this version which prevent the flight deck to get in position for flight operations (launch or recover the helo). I made a new MDL last night and a new version v1.5 will be ready for this week (Saturday in the morning, I think - French Saturday :bump:).
I wil add some modifications on the bow spray and other textures.

So, a little patience until the weekend :wavey:

The two new creations Beercan which were published last week: Push STOL and Helicopter Turbine have just been updated to night.
Versions v1.5 replace earlier last week which are canceled. They are available tonight on frenchvfr[dot]free[dot]fr in the "Downloads section - Aircraft P3D" :jump:

Hi, M.Lagaffe sir.

The FREMM v1.5 is not yet ready? I saw just the V1.0 which is still there. :sleep:

[lagaffe]

This is the new version is ready and you can download it :salute:

This addon is a freeware so for the impatient as Sindhu have the courtesy to wait until the author ends his work before making remarks :sleep:
PS: It is recommended to read all the documentation even if I am French and my English is not academic :icon_lol:

For the v1.5 of this frigate, we have wanted to add the ability to land on with big effects of roll / pitch.

Some troubles in our code have forced us to think a lot in order to find a solution ... and finally, a new version v1.6 approach that will FINALLY have a real flight deck in HARD to land on in previously unknown conditions in FSX.

Rather than words, here are some pictures:

Thank you very much sir :salute:

[lagaffe]

Hi,

I release this afternoon the third version of this FREMM Aquitaine: version 1.6
In this version you can really to land on and the flight desk is hard : you can not cross it to go to the sea !!!
The light on the flight desk are improved : a light ramp is above the hangar door to give a signal to the pilot.

Good flight !

The deck is really hard in spite of the movements of the ship.
