Multiplayer
A multiplayer connection does not pose too many problems in a local area network (LAN), but our simulators are more difficult to connect through a remote network (WAN). For all those who have encountered connection problems with P3Dv4, FSX or FSX:SE, on a WAN type network, Hamachi is THE solution! This small free program (up to five connections) allows you to simply create a VPN (Virtual Private Network) which makes the connection easier.
The proof: these images taken on P3Dv4 with two connected pilots (one in Switzerland, the other in Ecuador). Note that TacPack also works in multiplayer mode!
Missions
The first mission on P3Dv4 with SimDirector is being designed: a magnificent flight over the alpine passes surrounding Ulrichen aerodrome, with a relatively low ceiling!
Happy New Year 2019!
We test our Vampire in all weather situations, even in storms…! And its performance must match that of the original aircraft manual. An exciting, but complicated job for both developer and test pilots!
Engine tuning
What has worried us the most in recent weeks is the flight performance generated by the famous Goblin 35 engine: a big job, very technical, which requires great precision and excellent knowledge of the thrust calculations used by FSX and Prepar3D. Our simulators perfectly reproduce the results of these complex thrust calculations at different altitudes and reactor speeds.
Repaints
To change the difficult task of regulating the power of the Vampire reactor, we are also working on texturing the exterior of our different models…
DH-100 Test Flight
A wonderful video was prepared for us by Béni, one of our test pilots (former military pilot)!
The video was made on FSX using FSRecorder for the second aircraft (both flights were made by the same pilot).
We notice that he knows Axalp’s turns very well and the lead during the flight is also great. With his smooth flight on the first recorded flight, he was able to “dance” with his plane, creating a magnificent ballet on our Alps and making this video very dynamic. Congratulations also for the precision of his shots, it’s very impressive!
Sunset Patrol
At sunset in FSX, the multiplayer tests are quiet nice!
Rockets Addition
As stated in the project’s description, the Vampire will be armed. The rockets are being deployed and will be launched using VRS TacPack.
Gunsight
Function test of the gunsight whose aiming point is based on infinity…A sighting system that is quite complex to implement, but perfectly functional, identical to the real gunsight, the Ferranti MK. IV ES, with fixed and mobile reticles.
Lighting systems
Test of the three lighting systems: auxiliary lighting, normal instruments lighting, and UV instruments lighting…. These three lights are each managed by dimmers!
