Talking particularly of the Twister, listed here are a few screenshots of a low-level flight over the English countryside. Earlier than a few of you begin chasing us with pitchforks, NO it’s clearly not the ultimate GR.1 mannequin… that is our generic IDS mannequin.
REST ASSURED we’ll add the lacking particulars!
Talking of variants, we now have acquired loads of requests for an F3 / ADV mannequin – we’re sorry however in the meanwhile it won’t be a part of the package deal, which is able to “solely” embody the IDS, GR.1 and ECR fashions.
Whereas the ADV is cool and all (and had some nice liveries) it’s structurally fairly completely different from the opposite variants, and we wish to keep targeted on these (not to mention the truth that the F.3/ADV is just not documented in addition to the opposite variants).
Perhaps this can change in future, however don’t count on this to be a part of the preliminary launch.In the intervening time, the package deal construction is in place and the exterior mannequin is completed – aside from the payload and the mannequin variations which mustn’t take lengthy to finish.
We’re shifting ahead with the cockpit – as we informed in a earlier submit, we weren’t pleased with the standard our 3D property and we now have determined to redo just about all the pieces. It was a painful resolution, however we predict it was the suitable one.
HOPEFULLY we must always have the ability to present you the pilot cockpit in a few weeks.Our present BEST estimate is {that a} Beta could also be prepared someday in early September.
