XWAU 2023 - Work in progress

[Ace Antilles]

Still looking forward to this very much!

Work still continues but the full 2022 is still aways off. But we hope to have some more news for you all very soon
And as you can see Vince still teases us with his lovely destroyers!

Sieht sehr schön aus Vince, die Drillingstürme auf der Axialen Achse werden wen ich da Richtig sehe nicht modelliert?
Bin schon auf den Überarbeiteten Typ 2 gespannt, die von dir sollen ja weniger auf die FPS gehen, wenn ich das Richtig verstanden habe.
Ich hoffe natürlich, dass Sie trotzdem, den Wumms an Feuerkraft haben, welche das letztes Jahr veröffentlichte ISD 2 Modell eben auch hat
Looks very nice Vince, the triple towers on the axial axis are not modeled if I see correctly?
I'm already looking forward to the revised type 2, which of you should go less on the FPS, if I have understood correctly.
I hope, of course, that they still have, the Wumms of firepower, which has the ISD 2 model released last year also has

Doch, die sind da. Man sieht sie evtl. wegen der Auflösung nicht.
Actually yes those are there. You may not see them due to the resolution.

On that note I've mostly using the Rogue one model for reference now rather than the the ANH version, as it has not only added sorely missing lights and general details but also restructured the frontal details of the Superstructure which now is more similar to that of an ISD2 and as such resembles an actual deck layout which makes more sense in my eyes.

For the main turrets I have actually recreated both versions, the ones from ANH as well as the new ones seen in Rogue One. (tho I like the ANH ones better)
As far as performance goes, I've done some quick testing with half a dozen ISD1s on the screen and using the new DDraw, FPS was stable at about 220

The ISD2 model is still in the works. I'll probably post some first impressions later this summer when the ISD1 is nearing completion.

Oh that's neat. I love the Rogue One version.

Hello pilots! Been a while but there are still bits of progress going on. Summer is a slow point for a lot of us due to life and stuff.
There's been a lot of technical improvements with Hooks and features which will make nice additions.

Something I want to show a quick teaser off today is the improved Firespray ship from @Master Qui-Gon

MQG has done a lot of variations and improvements to the ship which will give users a lot of variety.
That plus dedicated FG laser colouring and new laser and flyby sounds will be included too.
We will show more when closer to completion I'm sure.

But we haven't forgotten about a certain family member either

Speaking of bumping, might as well tease you a bit
