Yes, Dino does great work...and only a hobby for him, sheesh, what a talent.
Very cool, the creative individuals and insights on this forum.

I am not real big on modern jet fighters in FSX - but I will be purchasing the F35 to support Dino's work and as a way of showing appreciation in some small way for the F-14 and the Goshawk

[Dino Cattaneo]

Guys, thanks for your support and appreciation!

I hope the F-35 will not disappoint. I still need to write a couple of pages of the manual and it is done.
Fact is that I do not have much time during working days...and since I live close to the sea I'm spending most of my weekend at the beach :-)!

But rest assured - it is coming soon. And then there will be news on the next iteration of the Tomcat!

Thanks Dino, can't wait!

Regards,
Ian.

Excellent news! I just happened to fly the first F-35 by Dino the other day!

Discount or not, Im buying this one either way!

As Heywooood says, "I will be purchasing the F35 to support Dino's work and as a way of showing appreciation in some small way for the F-14 and the Goshawk"

Thank you Dino,
Jim

I need a fast jet for vatsim and pilot edge...

How is the fps with the glass cockpit?

[Dino Cattaneo]

Honestly, the FPS is not spectacular. The MFD, especially in the map mode, is not the lightest gauge you may have, and the visual mesh complexity is quite high.
On my system (i7 920 + Nvidia 295) there is a significant hit to the frame rate - definitely not the best model in that respect.
In general the visuals are more accurate, but also more complex. Beta Test results were that the new F-35 performs slightly worse than the previous iteration (on average) although fps hit was not reported as catastrophic.

And again, even if I am the author, I'm trying to be as unbiased as possible as I am not trying to "sell" anything. The only reason why I am asking an "admission ticket" for this project is that I've acquired 3D professional meshes to obtain the best visual fidelity... and those came with few thousands euros bill attached...

Where do we expect to find the new F-35's for purchase? Is there a possibility of release by this weekend?

[Dino Cattaneo]

Unfortunately I don't have a firm date at the moment. I hope I will have the final package (including manual and installer) ready by tomorrow. Then it may well take another week to have the whole thing up to SimMarket... It is depending on a lot of factors, the main one being my real-life job...

Thanks for the honest answer... I'll probably buy it anyway. Like I said I need something fast.. well faster than the NGX.

It will be a good model to have, even if it's a slight drag on FPS. I'm in, bring it on.

:Ditto! I'm in line with Heywooood !
