I just want to quickly share some information on our upcoming Boeing 247D. I’ve been avoiding public places and neglecting friendships for the past few months in order to get some serious work done on this project and we’re now in a really good spot to share some good news. https://i.imgur.com/BUx1FmF.jpg
The 3D model is 99% finished, the only things left are stuff like cargo, icing and better windows. Animations are pretty much done and coded, with only few levers missing in the cockpit. The flight model is coming along very nicely and she starts behaving like the old lady she is. But here’s the best part:
The Boeing 247D will feature the first iteration of our Prop-o-Tronic physics engine for a more realistic system simulation! While I won’t be able to include all the features we had back for FSX/P3D, there will be enough cool stuff included in this addon to give it the Prop-o-Tronic batch.
an important piece of aviation history - the inspiration for Douglas’ DC-2, DC-3 as well as the foundation of the Boeing B-17.
It ought to be a blast to fly as a Wing42 project.
I laughed at ‘avoiding public places and neglecting friendships to work on this’. The hardwork and sweat clearly shows through the screenshots. The plane looks absolutely fantastic. thanks for sharing.
Really excited for this! You can tell she’s had a lot of heart and soul poured into her. Now I don’t need to buy that ‘other’ classic twin after debating it for so long.
I have been waiting for this and following the updates since the announcement a year ago or so. Looks perfect. This is going to be my go-to airplane in the “older twin” category (I held off on AH Electra). Right this place is filled with Ju52… I know technically a tri-motor, not a twin.
