New mail contact and domain name if you have question or private comments. contact-viggen-x-files@1s.fr
12 Jan 2008 Martin baker Mk4 ejection 3d model package is now ready. It will be available for download
soon, just the time for the team to update our mainwebsite and add safe shopping capabilities for visitors.
In the meantime check Mirage IIIC and Images subsections to see the final package of the Martin Baker ejection
seat.
01 Jan 2008 HAPPY NEW YEAR! We are going to release many stuff this year so stay tuned.
17 nov 2007 Screenshots of Mirage IIIC concept plane are available; check IMAGES XP8 section .
This is an hybrid acf+obj aircraft that mainly serves to tune aerodynamic in Plane maker.
Airframe is pure acf made and some parts are OBJs.
Thanks to this prototype aircraft we have a rough idea of the final look we will obtain with the 100% OBJ aircraft
under production.
20 oct 2007 Website has been updated again with specific page for each project now.
New and corrected information in the Mirage III section
07 sept 2007 Several updates of website layout, html code and texts. We have now also a tagboard to let you post messages.
01 sept 2007 Many stuff today:
- Mirror website has been re-arranged. New media and informations are available.
Feel free to visit us and see our new projects and latest images.
- New screenshots of the VF-4 Lightning III fighter from Macross Flashback 2012 are available in the extra
project section. Modelization is now pretty well advanced. This is unexpected because the Lightning III 3d
model was just a stuff for fun, but in 3 sessions of 3d work we have made significant progress.
Now we have an acceptable 3d model so it worths more attention and we can dream about a Macross jet flying
accross X-plane universe.
- Another important news is the next release of the Martin Baker Mk4 ejection seat. Textures and 3d are
achieved with a high level of details. Feel free to check the extra project or gallery section for more screens.
Initialy the MB ejection seat is designed for the Mirage III, but considering the utility for X-Plane
modelers to have a ready to use 3d object I have decided to release it as a stand alone package
including OBJ8 object and texture.
For this occasion Viggenxfiles will probably changes its policy. The MB ejection seat will probably be a
payware.
This is unfortunate but we have to pay for server hosting, domain name, paypal service
Current donation rate and amount are to low to face all these fees.
In addition, a nice work (even if it's a hobby) deserves a reward.
So if you want to make us change our mind and keep all this free, please make a donation!
The Viggen 3.xx will remain free as long as V4.xx is not released. Then payware will probably rules...
- Regarding, the Mirage III project, Erik is currently making miracle (as usual) to tune aerodynamic paramaters.
However we are still looking for accurate flight data. So, please if you can help us to collect information, it would
be gladly appreciated. You can contact us at contact@viggenxfiles.org.
THANKS!
- Viggen V4.xx is still in the hangar. No real improvement since the last news except a new exhaust and
reactor with redesigned burning animation.
Viggen SK37 twin seater is now fully textured with splinter colors. (More news soon)
- Gripen: Top fuselage modelization is now 100% finished, belly is under progress. All aspects of the aircraft
modelization have been reworked. We are about to show, probably the most detalled Gripen ever built for a
flight simulator.
Modelization of MDBA Euro missile Meteor and Iris-T is achieved.
All new screens are available in the extra project or in the gallery section.
25 aug 2007 New work in progress screenshots of the Gripen are available in the extra project section.
02 aug 2007 Now if you want to contact us you can mail us at our new address contact@viggenxfiles.org or use the previous
address viggenxfiles@rixmail.se
29 july 2007 To complete the re-release of X-Airframe plug-in for XP7 and early XP8 version, as another example, we offer
the old 3d files of the Viggen produced in may 2006 compatible with the X-Airframe plug-in for Xp7.
D/L link and install instructions are given in the 3d&tech section.
Of course these files are now obsolete and have no connection with the present Viggen 3.xx for XP 8.60
available in the download section.
28 july 2007 A new bibliography sub section has been added to the Tech&3D page. You'll find there a short list of books
and reviews we have used to produce the Viggen, but also the Mirage III, currently under progress.
The X-Airframe plug-in for XP7 users now also available for download in the Tech&3D page. Although this plug-in
sounds outdated and obsolete with XP8, it remains a good alternative to create advanced smooth shaded OBJ7
aircrafts for XP7 or even for XP8 if you are not used to OBJ8 creation.
22 july 2007 2 new sub sections have been added to the extra projects section.
Mirage III: Dedicated to the Mirage III project for X-Plane. This new work is getting more and more precise
and the 3d model is taking shape.
Gripen section: Currently on hold but still alive anyway.
02 may 2007 VERSION 3.2 IS AVAILABLE!
The 3.2 update includes all changes applied in the version that is included in X-Plane 8.60 as a default.
That includes new sounds, better cockpit, and fine tuning in several areas.
13 apr 2007 Viggen Version 4 development has reached it's cruise speed.. This version will feature a completely new fin folding
mechanism.
08 apr 2007 The next coming Viggen pack will include a pilot ladder, you'll be able to show-hide at any time by
pressing a button on the panel. Click on screenshot below to see example.
06 apr 2007 Due to some messy problem with our server some visitors encountered matters to download files properly.
Now free access to version 3.1 is restored.You can download again all packs in the download section or you can
possibly link to main website.
Have fun.
01 apr 2007 New screenshots of the JA37Di are now available in the What's next section
18 mar 2007 What about the JAS39 Gripen?
The team is seriously thinking about producing the famous 4th generation Saab aircraft for X-Plane 8.
Sketch 3d model is currently under development and a acf file is already operational.
Screenshots are available in the What's next section.
17 mar 2007 After 3 months of silence we are now about to propose several upgrades for the Viggen. The following list
defines the leading axis of development.
However due to personal job duty and overload we are not yet ready to confirm a release date, but we are doing
our best to make it ASAP.
1- First release will be version 3.2 (we have definitely abandoned the beta naming convention since Austin Meyer
has decided to include our Viggen package as a default in X-Plane 8 package).
In the continuation of version 3.1, 3.2 update will be a object loader polish which can produce a better look on
some systems, and allow the model to be loaded into x-plane with no error report.
In addition 3.2 will introduce a new 2d panel with refitted instrumentation system.
3.2 upgrade will be freeware for all packages.
2- Second is the JA37Di variant to complete our family with the most sophisticated Viggen ever produced in
Sweden.
Photo realistic textures will be used and the final aircraft undercarriage will include U95 jamming pod and
countermeasure dispenser.
Screenshots of work in progress are already available in the What's nextsection.
The Di will probably be our first payware package...sorry for that but we have no choice now.
We will charge a very low price, just enough, at least to recoup our basic costs such as server and domain
name.
3- Third SK37 will come just after (payware as well). The 3d model does exist already in our stockpile but
aerodynamic is still under trial
4- And finally but not the least, we will release for all Viggen's variant a new dynamic 3d cockpit. More
information will be uncovered soon, so stay tuned.
15 feb 2007 About donations vs. payware
The donation frequency is not too high to say the least, and therefore we are considering the fact that we have to
go payware. There will be free versions still, but the latest and more complicated models we might have to charge
you for. This is most unfortunate, but we do have costs to cover, and work alot with this.
Sorry for this not so good news.
5 jan 2007 Laminar research with Austin Meyer as creator and lead designer, has decided to give our new Viggen a
oppurtunity to be implemented with the original x-plane game. It will then be implemented in an update
beginning from 8.60+.
We are so proud over this!
Exact model to be included is not yet decided but i think it will be the dusty JA37 from F17 (on the start page).
It will then not be achievable from here, but updates to it will be released in applicable parts.
2 jan 2007 Back from holidays. We are now going to work on final Viggen pack for X-Plane 8. Go to what's next section
to check our program.
18 dec 2006
Mirror site will have a new name domain soon: Viggenxfiles.org
