FG-1D Corsair Milviz (preview)

Is it just my eyes or does the hydromatic prop dome look too long? For me, it's particularly noticeable compared to the photos of the real aircraft.

I'd say yes.

Looks like it needs to be shortened.

Otherwise, looking very nice indeed!

Good catch, the dome looks about 30% too long but the actual hub is at least 50%+ larger in length and diameter (using Mk.I eyeball) compared to the restored aircraft.

Indeed it is c87. I'm happy to report that MV team have already fixed this. Thank you for the very good catch!

WiP, prop effects:

Unfortunately, MilViz started with the Aircraft Factory F4U-1A/C/D model, which had a high number of inaccuracies. I'm not sure if fixing that model was the best plan or if they should have started from scratch.

I have good news for Milviz users, this model will have "tooltips". Finally it's solved .

That looks pretty darn good to me.

And flies like dreams .
Btw. this will be very advanced model also with TacPack (now tacpacked for P3Dv3 and before, not v4 for sure).

Is an FSX version planned?
Mike

[stovall]

No version for FSX. This is a legal issue. Only Prepar3D version.

[big-mike]

Thanks Tom.

[Snurdley]

Just a little bit of research on that VF-84 scheme would pay dividends.

[stovall]

Here is the latest for the VF-84 number 167. We have another VF-84 number 155 with yellow cowling in the expansion pack.

Product page, so soon!

FYI: Beta testing on the final way!

[c87]

YoYo, can you tell me what scenery was used for the screenshots on the Milviz product page? I'm referring to the scenes that look like the South Pacific islands.

Shame about the psychedelic props, bad Acid anyone?

[deimos256]

Card primed and ready!

That is an effect to simulate the shine reflected from the propeller disc:


It is visible only under certain light conditions and direction, as you can see from the many various screenshots, and of course not visible from the VC as the back of the prop is flat black.

The suspense is killing me!

[crashaz]

Saw the product page.... impressive work!

I understand the effect IRL, but the Milviz attempt looks as if the prop has the multicolored LED effects much loved by Millennial PC users on their cooling fans.
Subtle effects are the way to go, not cartoonish.

[Dimus]

Your comment was shared also by some of the testers and the effect has been reduced in intensity. Again, it is not always visible, just under certain light conditions and angle.
