That's no problem Freycinet, because there's no whining allowed in WWI.....no one could hear the complaints anyway.

Indeed. Anyone who opened their mouth received a castor oil digestive. Ugh... Loving the update piccies! Any idea when the official web site will be up and running? I was surprised to hear that Eugeniy Karpov is working with you. It is fantastic news but also leaves me wondering... Has there been a merger of the D-Strict and Grennadich team? If so, I think it was a masterful move on both parts to collaborate. If it is just one of the members, does that mean the "Sikorsky" project is dead in the water? If so, I feel sorry for the other two individuals involved. I thank them for trying their hand at WW1 while it lasted. S!

S!
there shouldnt be any wonders cause: - Eugeny was lookin for job, we invite him, so he is with us now; - we have a contact with all "Sikorsky" members before that, and we have it now, but i cant say any more cause everything can happen, and we cant speak for "Sikorsky". So to conclude it in simple words - now we (GT) have a new member, and soon you will be able to see his creations for "Knights" too. S!

Thursday is now my favorite day of the week. Here's why...   Plenty of great looking Pfalz and Sopwith Pup screenies at Gennadich Team's update site. (available at the top of this Thread)

Mine too ic13.  The Pfalz D.XII texturing is simply fantastic! GT's quality of appearance is almost at the level of Mark Miller's wonderful 3D artwork.....and these previews show builds for a limited-poly flight sim environment.......very impressive!!!

There is a great site for WWI aviation information at http://www.theaerodrome.com/ It is a great place to find performance specifications on the planes that Gennadich is posting screenshots of each Thursday. There is also a tremendous amount of information about the aces of WWI from all nations. Precise info about their victories is included. It is the best site I've seen for background information on WWI aviation. It should be very useful for acquiring info on units, pilots and planes when building missions and campaigns for the new sim. I guess I'm getting ahead of myself there but,hey, I'm eager for this new sim. Besides the wealth of info at the aerodrome can help pass the time while we wait.

Beautiful models! And the cockpits being 6DOF-compatible makes me jump like a kid waiting for a lollipop.

Fantastic models and especially textures, just completely drool-inducing.
I wonder whether the metallic shine on the Pup cowling will be painted on (as in the il-2FB engine) or real-time rendered (as in FS2004).
