Hello folks!

It is time for me to undertake a campaign of shameless self-promotion; and what better place to do so than in the fine community of avsim! I've never posted here before, however some of you will know me from other places like fsdeveloper, flightx or soh.

For the past two years I've been working on the implementation of a Lockheed Vega 5 for FSX, FSXSE and P3D that I will release as a commercial product soon. My plans are to release it in early-access at a reduced price, because I hope that I can utilize the know-how and experience of other flightsimmers to make this product the most realistic Vega in Flight Simulator. I do have a background in engineering as well as software development, so you can expect a ludicrous amount of detail when it comes to system simulation. A lot of those systems are already in place, such as a new electrical system (complete with surge protection by means of melting-type fuses), vacuum system (calculating the spinning of gyros, considering airflow and friction in the bearings), barometric system (utilizing nothing but raw ambient atmospheric data to simulate the response of the diaphragm in altimeter, vsi and asi), etc.

Some systems are still being worked on such as the oil system (calculating pressure changes in every single part of the engine, build up of slug, etc.), engine combustion and ignition. Those will be gradually implemented in future updates after the initial release.

I also started a Youtube channel in order to provide some more information, here's the first video I put out (be gentle please):

I hope you like what you see. Furthermore, I'd like to pick your brain - I'm grateful for any suggestions, criticism and praise!

You'll find a lot more information on my website, you'll also find a link to the first WIP version of the manual in my forum.

Regards,

Vitus
