Hi,

To sum up our current activities quickly in this post:

- Ariel is doing Rio Gallegos city

(tough task indeed - and it should look like it was in 1982)

and then will proceed to do the extremely important airport/airbase located there.

I'm doing the Learget 36 used by Escuadron Fenix as support aircraft in many A-4 Skyhawk attacks. Then I'll proceed to update A-4B cockpit to 2010 standards (I've done it in 2005/2006 if I remember well :))

Programming is optimizing terrain system for better loading times and then we'll start to see the whole campaign theather loading up (and finally with at least a very detailed and complete Rio Gallegos in the continent side).

Hopefully in next post I can add some screenshots of improved terrain system!

Cya! smile

Just get 777 Studios to produce it and you are good to go!

Good luck the rest of the way. I will be waiting patiently for this wonderful sim!

Hi Dante

I am so much looking forward to this sim. I read the Forgotten voices volume on this conflict as well as Sharkey Ward's excellent Harriers over the Falklands. An excellent subject for a sim. I simply can't wait.
One comment; I so much hope you will pay attention to the overal atmosphere in the sim. Many recent sims seem to excel in terms of flightmodelling and avionics, yet in my view fall short in terms of a sense of being there. Sims like Black Shark and even the recent Rise of Flight have an almost sterile feel and fail to deliver to me a convincing sense of 'being there'.
Falcon is one of the last sims managing to convey that experience.

Anyway, we have to wait and leave you to it. Just a few thoughts. Keep it going and I will certainly buy it, if only for the recognition of all the work that is put in. With the few sims coming out these daysm everybody should smile

thanks for the update, D-JT. Will this sim be coded to take advantage of a multi-core CPU? I wonder what the odds are that someone has asked that question before? biggrin
