Bugatti 100P: This legend also returns

[TiAr]

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.

First two VC shots of the orignal status 1939 and at least Scotty Wilsons flying 1:1 replica of 2015. I will create two totally different airplanes.











There is a nice article about Bugatti 100Ps history and Wilson Project out: Author Preston Lerner, published in Air & Space Magazine of September 2014.

Hi TiAr, how is going, any news about this project?

Thank you for asking.

At least, development is going on. Now we have V5. I did a lot of investigations around in US, the Netherlands and France. And got a lot of new informations.


Shows last original cockpit in WW2. Date of photo is unclear. Maybe 1940.


I was totally wrong with the last cockpit style. I did it new. Now I am nearly clear, which gauges are onboard 1939.


This should be the exterior painting of Coupe Deutsch de la Meurthe 1939, but that was canceled.

Thx for sharing new pictures. Personally I very like this idea (old cockpit version too) and your job here.
Cant wait for sure!

So, any update of this project?

Hi YoYo,





After some MSFS trips/adventures I decided to work again on Bugatti 100P and Soloys for P3DV5. Work is going on. I did some approvements on both external and interior models. All swiches and hands/pointers are 3D. Now I have to do most of animations in blender (which is completely new for me).
