Title: Build time?
Post by: FrodeMk3 on January 31, 2008, 05:18:08 PM
I was just kind of wondering...HTC, how long does it take for y'all to model a new aircraft for the game, from conception to birth, so to speak?

I'm wondering how much time it takes to compile your flight data, decide which sources' of said data you will use to make your F/M on, and then through the coding, to the final skinning and introduction...

I was kinda betting that it actually takes' longer to do the basic research, and judging what you use to build the plane with, rather than your keyboard time building it into the game...

True, but I'm sure that they weren't able to devote every single second of that time to the B-25. Consider you had the holidays, weekends, etc. Plus, Bug fixing, and other techical issues. Then, there's the ongoing work on Combat Tour.

I'm just wondering what kind of a job it is, all by itself.

This is irrelevant, won't be an issue two weeks from now.

What, they're giving up on it??? CT's been in the works' since before Halloween of '05. And even after it's released, I'm sure there will be troubleshooting involved. Delegating all available time to developing New A/C is still improbable...

Sorry...someone already mentioned 2 weeks!!!! No soup for you!:lol

Seriously, though. Now it looks' like we get the P-39D as well. It's just a different version of the Q, however, so I don't think it's that hard to just tweak the model a little bit to make the letter change.

Still kind of wondering what sort of time's involved. Part of the time for the B-25 was the voting process, which consumed alot of time in itself. And we got two B-25's out of that (The B-25H and the B-25C) so I'm still wondering what the time is for a single plane.
