Project XR2 Ravenstar - Mk II

[adamb193]

Wow amazing.

You know it's a really beautiful design when it looks like it's going Mach 3 when it's sitting on the runway.

Even though personally I prefer the default gray utility look, those are some really nice graphics work on the paint job. I envy your talent!

Absolutely gorgeous ship, anxiously awaiting the public release!

No worries -- the XR2 currently includes twelve different skins, and the default skin is a silver/gray utility look.

LOL! That cracked me up! :lol:

Well, you know, I had always wanted to be a comedian... problem was, everyone laughed at me.

Kara is actually named for Kara Thrace on BSG -- same thing with Lee.

BSG... Oh! Battlestar Galactica! Interesting... I suppose all those names must come from somewhere. I remember trying to write stories (for english classes mostly, sometimes for lesuire [hey, I was young {maybe this was... six years ago?}, we didn't have the net! Or a computer!]), the hardest parts were getting started, and thinking of names.

I'd watch my self Altea Aerospace has a pretty hard core security/press team, we take dissent seriousaly.

Because the Altea security team is its press team, isn't it.

EDIT: Coolhand, only just saw the new screenies. I owe you a beer, I thought this thing couldn't look any better...

Because the Altea security team is its press team, isn't it.

I certainly hope not, or Astra Space may have to bring some private security of its own to the launch day press conference and order placement activities.

Meh... the press team have their own sub machine guns for crowd control.

Then again... that may not be enough.

I seriously cannot take any side on the DGIV vs. XR1 war, so ill just side with the stock dg! There, makes everyone happy.

Any new news?

Is there any news on the new XR2?

 

[tl8]

No new beta's and no bugs so no news is good news

 

[orwellkid]

The beta is awesome.

My girlfriend almost left me twice. It's that good.

_O.K._

 

[Messierhunter]

My girlfriend almost left me twice. It's that good.

Oh boy, I can see this becoming a running joke ala Chuck Norris.

Paul Lange quit microsoft after learning that Altea Aerospace would not let him include it in FSXI. It's that good.

 

[Coolhand]

^LOL.

here's another screenie...:beach:

 

[pete.dakota]

How does she fly? At this stage in the beta? Dead stick landing speeds, stall speeds, V1/Vr etc..?

 

[Coolhand]

Flies and glides just great, it feels much better to fly than any other XR, but then it should since it's had even more refinement over the flight models of the other XR's... I think the other testers will agree its a very flyable beta.

 

[Chas]

I think the other testers will agree its a very flyable beta.

I agree 100%. She is both a beauty to fly and gorgeous to look at it.
Frankly, I think I am in love!

 

[Dores]

Looking amazing!

I'd kill for the beta...'hint hint...'

 

[Coolhand]

I'm afraid that death, destruction, greed, power, etc, even in this rare case money, will not bring you a Ravenstar.

Patience however, will work well for you in this situation, all you have to do is wait...

Anyway, here's some tidying up of the business end of the XR2...

 

[Messierhunter]

Looking good. Have you been gradually updating the nozzles? It seemed like they looked more detailed in the recent beta test screenies in the last week or two.

 

[Donamy]

Awesome texturing Coolhand, I wish I could do that.

 

[Coolhand]

just keep practising man, you're doing a great job on the dart. study real world examples as much as possible and try to imitate it, or use it directly in your maps.

 

[Arrowstar]

I'm liking that blue skin there! Any chance a paint kit will be released with the XR2?
