 | | CVN Poject: Development on the CVN 2.0 Project has begun |
|
 |
 The information and reference gathering for the CVN 2.0 Project is done, and 3d Studio Max work has already started on the new model, which will be built and optimized from the ground up. Keep an eye on the facebook page for updates / renders!! The new CVN 2.0 will be developed to work for the latest build of Thirdwire's Strike Fighters 2 Engine.

| | CVN Poject: The CVN 1.0 Gold Starts Strike Fighters 2 Certification |
|
|
The CVN 1.0 Gold Addon Carrier Package will make its one and only release and debut for the Strike Fighters 2 Series.
I've recently allocated some time over the next few weeks to rapidly get the CVN 1.0 Carrier package orignally intended for the Strike Fighters 1 Series up to Strike Fighters 2 Standards. I plan to utilize as many Strike Fighters 2 Engine features as I can with the current 3d Model I have. Once the CVN 1.0 Gold Package is released, Work will start on a few more more Strike Fighters 2 Projects.
The First one will most Likely be a CVN/CVX Project, which will start with an entirely new 3d Model built from the ground up, and re-texture mapped. Better optimized for performance and quality. The original CVN Model I built has exceeded its productivity, its not longer easy or useful to make changes or additions to a model that was built without proper knowledge of 3d Studio Max's feature set; as a result the model is not able to be optimized for the best results, and changes further increase that problem.
The plan is to get the 3d model I have now up to SF2 Specs. Once the model is fully imported into the new engine, begin testing the effects, shaders, and carrier systems. Once systems are tested with the stock and 3rd party Aircraft, implementing any new features the SF2 game engine offers will be done, and tested as well, as soon as I get the Carrier imported into the new engine I'll be distributing a Carrier Beta Pack to anyone willing to test it in the Strike Fighters 2 Game Engine.

| | CVN Poject: CVN Carrier Pack v1.0 Now In Active Testing!! |
|
|
The new CVN Carrier Pack v1.0 is Now in the Active Testing Phase, I Am Currently Loading A Test Mission with EVERY Single Naval Plane from the Stock Wings Over Vietnam install as well as Running as Many as the MAIN 3rd Party Addons
Currently The Model has Three Variations:
A Clean Deck
Launch Layout
Recovery Layout
This Release of the CVN Model will most Likely be the Final GOLD release before Moving on to a Different model to start from scratch. This model has Full Active Shadowing (Based On Current Testing, Full Shadowing Requires a Very Decent Gaming Rig. My Ring Can Run the Clean Deck Variant at a Decent Frame Rate, but the Loaded Decks both are pretty hardware intensive.)
I'll Be recording Video Footage during the Testing Period and Doing a H.D. (720p) Video prior to Release, along with a Bunch of Screenshots.

Updated to Run with the Latest Patch (SF/WoV/WoE/SFG ),
Also Working now is the Weapons (CIWS and Sea Sparrows), A HUGE, and I Mean HUGE thanks goes out to Capun for helping me through this...
Before I Release it later in the next week, I'll go through and get stuff cleaned, and a List of Fixes and Readme HTML ready, I also have to test with some new planes so... I ALso have to make a Separate Data INI for use with installs that are Runnning the Addon Weapons Pack (Better Guns and Missiles)
Heres a Video of why you dont want to fly up to the Carrier in a Enemy Plane (yes Im in a A-4, the Test was done on a Stock install), and The Ai Seems to Favor Shooting at my wing man (who is out of view) until he blasted me with a Sea Sparrow.
