    P3D V4+ - RFN Etendard upgrade

    Hi guys,
    In parallel of our Crusader project we worked on a 64bit compatible version of our Etendard IVM & P.
    We took the occasion to dust our model and gauges which is a bit old ... 10 years...
    We added some nice improvements coming from our F-8 like weapon management, larger/better textures or C++ gauges for gunsight/HUD for both versions IVM and IVP (the recco one).
    For all the simmers who like these kind of navy jets, tricky to trap on small and smoking carriers, I hope you'll enjoy to fly this small French hook dragger jet!

    Very much appreciated Sylvain!
    Striker, listen, and you listen close: flying a plane is no different than riding a bicycle, just a lot harder to put baseball cards in the spokes.

    Really nice to have her in P3Dv5.

    Great aircraft!

    Gauges are excellent, clear and crisp. Lots of features. Really well done all around. Very professional.

    Hello! Any program to do this also for FSX ?
    I've tried to install it in FSX and it seems all OK, the only missing feature is the loadout manager that doesn't work, at least after a very quick check... The visual upgrade is simply stunning !!! Thank you !!!

    Hi,
    Thank you for the nice comments!
    Addressing 2 different version, as FSX and P3D, add always more works even if models fit at 98% to both sims. It's cost time and we don't have enough time to make our project as fast as we would like...
    That why we decided to model for P3D only.
    Saying that, it doesn't mean that the new ETD can't work on FSX: we can provide a package with 32bit dlls roughly tested, without adapted documentations. FSX users should accept such "draft" package because we can't spent too much time on FSX anymore.
    Does it sound good?
    Regards,
    Sylvain

    Ah, my world out of MSFS is still alive!!! Thank you so much for developping all these goodies inside truly working sims! The Etendard was one of my favorits among others so far. Thank you!

    HI,
    We put a FSX package on our website which provide you almost the same features as the P3D version. The only change is about the gunsight/HUD: in P3D I had coded it in C++ with improved features and, in FSX, it is coded in XML with limited features.

    Regards,
    Sylvain

    Hi
    There is a little gap with texture on the IVP:
    http://www.pilote-virtuel.com/viewto...65847#p1065847

    We have update the mdl of the IVP on the RFN Website (http://royalefrenchnavy.restauravia.fr/RFN-Avions.htm)
    Just replace EtdIVP.mdl in
    RFN_EtendardIVMP_v2.0_P3D \ SimObjects \ Airplanes \ EtendardIVP_v2.0_P3D \ Model.IVP

    Regards
    Michel
