First realistic and complete review of our Venom! We will never satisfy everyone, but when we take the time to learn to “tame” this extraordinary aircraft, it is clearly the satisfaction of meeting the challenges created by the demands of our Venom DH-112 that dominates. In any case, this is Read more
Final phase for our test pilots: take-off from Meiringen (LSMM) for a late day flight over the Alps. Checks on the interior lighting (instrument lighting, instrument panel and UV), then speed tests at different altitudes, flight model and behavior during a loss of lift (stall), etc. A few more adjustments Read more
The special smoke effects caused by our Venom DH-112’s engine starter cartridge are being finished. At the same time, our test pilots, including a former Venom military pilot, are testing the flight model. We are well on our way to a release, but there is still work to be done!
While our Vampire is becoming more and more pleasant to fly and to look at (at least for the cockpit, the external textures will be treated soon), we are also working on the Payerne Air Base (LSMP) in its current configuration.
The flexibility of the Venom’s wings is tested! The realization in Blender, and the first tests in P3Dv5.2. An image of the takeoff, a tight turn, and the normal flight at about 1 G. And it works!
In front of the Clin d’Ailes museum at Payerne airfield (Switzerland), our Venom continues its transformation to become the new flagship of our squadron. For the precise fuel consumption tests, the flunts were created, and the elements related to the fuel gauge were modeled. For the pleasure of the eyes, Read more
Even if the availability of graphic cards has momentarily stopped the development of our Venom, some members of our team continue to test what has already been achieved, such as the start-up of this new plane.
Some pictures of the development of Meiringen (LSMM) for P3Dv5. The runway is equipped with emergency stop nets and these are animated and actuated by an operator as needed (SODE). The runway is also equipped with functional stop wires: no matter where the touchdown occurs on the runway, if the Read more
Here is the Vampire on trial in Prepar3Dv5 and his new atmosphere with Simul trueSky. Now available for everyone on this new simulation platform!
In Switzerland, the Vampire DH-100 was the first military aircraft to be equipped with a blind flight system (IFR). It consisted of a “NAFU” (automatic omnidirectional speaking beacon) and a GCA (approach radar). The latter required the presence of a ground operator to advise the pilot of the course to Read more
