Virtavia E-2C Released

[DaveWG]

I would assume if it's encrypted for Steam only, then it can't be opened & viewed in MCX?

Seems an update was released:

An update for Virtavia’s Grumman E-2C Hawkeye is out now. If you have automatic Steam updates enabled, this update will be downloaded next time you restart the Steam client.

The change list for E-2C Hawkeye v2 is as follows:

Fixed aileron animation which was previously reversed
Added a rotodome animation which can be toggled from the virtual cockpit
Updated manual to reflect the above changes
Improved glass reflectivity
This update is approx. 6 MB

That is correct as reported earlier.

I see that DTG has pushed the E-2C update. Everything on the E-2C should work now. All they wanted was the ailerons corrected. Everything else was a bonus to them.

Not mentioned because we didn't mention it to them (since they aren't keen on schemes for their released versions) is the remapped rudders.

this one dropped off the radar quick . No paints , no more talk , nothing ! huh !

Looks like this one got gobbled up by the "machine". If it was up to me (and it wasn't) the Hawkeye would have been released to the general public. Alas....

Phil did finally release a paint kit. It is available on the Virtavia page. I've been playing with it a little.













Still have VAW-123 Screwtops to finish up. And then sort out the DLC install particulars.

Nice work Frank! Might prompt me to re-visit that FDE.

[Corvette99]

Very nice Frank !

I am waiting for the Christmas sale on Steam. To me, it isn't worth $25.... NC

I agree. I only buy during sales. But at a discount it is worth getting especially since the patch.

Sorry, a typo in the link. Should work for you now. Enjoy!

There's light at the end of the tunnel afterall. I saw where Dino posted that he is going ahead with both an E-2C and C-2A and aiming for a 2017 release! I will gladly buy both models when the time comes.

This is the best news I have seen all day. Outstanding!!

Yes! I would pay 2X if Dino does these for FSX and P3D non-Steam.

Could you do a VAW-123 paint from the 1980 Saratoga Med cruise? Sorry but fueling those beasts for that whole summer with the showing AC USS SARATOGA is burned into my memory.
