Today I show new screenshots once from the interior model and the exterior model. PBR effects are not shown here, but are included. They show well the state of development, but they only show the model. Animations of switches, control levers etc. still have to be made. Only three materials are displayed.
You see here actually a hybrid of the original and with the replica by Scotty Wilson. I will actually release both versions, although they are very different in operation. Whether I will simulate the performance of the two Suzuki racing engines of replica remains open. Maybe all this is a bit too much, but I'm tempted by it, because nobody has ever done something like this for flight simulators. And it is aviation history that I am getting more and more excited about.
I have collected a lot of new information, especially concerning the handling of the Bugatti 100P. A great help was the book The Bugatti 100P record plane by Dutchman Jaap Horst, which arrived last week. Unfortunately it is completely out of print in bookstores. Jaap is a Bugatti connoisseur and has been a great help to get special information. Meanwhile I have contacts in France and USA.
Now I am completely immersed in a new but fascinating world. Maybe I will be able to create something really extraordinary here. We will see.
