I like your server.

Looking forward to this module! My grandfather had I think it was 3000 hours in the super sabre (Vietnam pilot). It will be really cool to fly the aircraft he flew. :)

Awesome! Looking forward to it

Gorgeous modelling! Can't wait.

Really looking forward to this airplane - The F-100 is one of those airplanes that I just have to own in DCS.

The graphs at the end were the proof that the F-100D module is going to be worth every penny, and more.

Look forward to it.

All I gotta say is, you better make the FM accurate. I expect to sabre dance when slow on approach ;)

You will get your waltz don’t worry 😎

Labor of Love... Day 1 purchase no question about it. Great fit for DCS cold war era. 🫡

Before watching this vid I was absolutely sure I didn't need that module. But I will need to reconsider.

Can't wait to get my hands on the Hun!

Awesome work! That Hun at 00:20 looks pretty familiar! 😄

​@@grinnellidesigns My pleasure! It's awesome to be able to work with the real aircraft, and it's not often one gets to help bring one to life within DCS!

Diesel, you lucky git. Not only are you turning wrenches on the Phantom, but also the Hun. Thanks for keeping these things alive!

Great update! Never new the throttle unit was (nearly) the same as the one one on the F-86 (with the Harrier II’s throttle looking like a more evolved version), but that’s hardly surprising given the lineage. ;) Looking forward to it coming to fruition! 👍

Great update news, team.

As an old Strike Fighters 2 Buff, F-100D is a plane I will absolutely make a 1th Special Operations Squadron Campaign in the Kingdom of Dhimar for.

Its been a pleasure watching you from the earliest beginnings to where you are now. Excited to see where you go from here! Good luck!!

Looks so awesome, thank you for providing the progress and work that other module makers have failed to show

My father is a retired fighter pilot who flew with this amazing bird for more than 2000 hrs. You can not imagine how important it is to be able to fly it one more time for him. I have setup a VR and controller system waiting for you guys :) thanks a lot for your efforts

Has he flown other aircraft? What does he think about physics of dcs?

Not only did you get to experience so much hands on F-100 action, you got to ride in a Kiowa as well??? SUPER jealous lol Cannot wait for this. PS Zero Length Launch system :)

Awesome, im an a&p mechanic myself its fun working on planes

I'm doing the Sabre Dance. . . Wait a minute, no I'm not. Looks great fellas!

this is looking amazing so far, Definitely buying as soon as I can

Looking forward to this beautiful jet, can't wait to reenact some 'nam action with it alongside the F-4 ;)

Such a great looking aircraft!

Can't wait to AAR this thing. Soooo how long until we might expect this lovely little Beauty in DCS? 1-2 years? ^^

I couldn’t be happier for you bro! This is one of my most anticipated modules for DCS - Bring on the Hun!

you do a perfect job! this plane will be amazing

I can feel the love you’re putting into this. I can’t wait to fly her!

The 3D cockpit looks amazing! 1 level above current F-14A/B or what we so far seen in F-4 Phantom videos in DCS,. Extraordinary achievent.

While I'm not a fan of the F-14 or impending F-4, I wouldn't go so far as to say that this is a level above them. To me it looks to be on par or even a bit marginal in comparison. The F-100 is just another Cold War era fighter I care little about.

Are you talking about the ones shown starting at 1:11 ? Those are the direct scans they took of the cockpit (notice the guy holding a blue colored tool a few seconds back). It is not what we will get directly but will be used by their artists to model and create the cockpit. At this stage, it is too early to say "it is better than heatblur", lets judge it when it actually comes out. I too am excited for this module, day 1 purchase definitely.

@@SignumCruxis0 Thank you for clarification. You propably know about the process more than me. I thought that this look would be ,,copy-pasted,, on 3D model from photos. I am not IT graphic artist. Got excited by beautiful cockpit look and got carried away.

Looking really great so far I, and wish you the best in your ongoing work. Regards the failure its a perfect example of finding positives in any negatives that are bound to happen from time to time. Its obviously not a good thing but is a perfect example of how to navigate these types of problems and use them for growth and learning. I apply this in my life as much as I can and its helped me in hard times but unfort the positives are not as exciting as this. As you pointed out the gentlemen/women who continue to give their time to carryon these types of legacies deserve the utmost thanks and recognition. I have seen this many times with aircraft but also tanks and ships etc. It constantly amazes me the dedication shown and the pride in the work these men/women continue to show in their respective fields.

Most people are excited to play Vietnam-type scenarios with this Sabre, to me I'll be happy to reproduce the Super Sabres used in the French Air Force from the late 50s to the late 70s.

Great work GD. Can't wait to see all the hard work pay off and take her for a spin.

Seeing all those grand old men just happy to be there with their hands on the jet that's only a bit less ancient than they are is so heartwarming.

That's awesome you got to help turn wrenches on one! Best of luck with the rest of the development.

Can't wait to fly her!

Looking Forward to Flying this Beautiful looking bird!! Nice Work! ;)

Awesome. Only downside is this fantastic news just made the wait that much more painful. Will be absolutely worth it, though.

This looks great Grinnelli. Looking forward to it!

Brilliant Dev Blog. Love seeing the passion that has gone into this project so far - hope to see more of these in the future!

It's awesome that you've gotten the help and access to the aircraft from those guys! I've been looking forward to the F-100 since the announcement, and glimpses into its creation only add to the anticipation. Such a historically important plane!

Well made dev log. Definitely putting this one on my list and can't wait to see more!

@grinnellidesigns it is not just about the module, it is about the Journey. I can almost guarantee that most of the 100 people that have commented thus far will be there for the early access! Thanks for the Dev Logs.

Really looking forward to this one! My Tech School model and my first 4 years in the Air Force model as Crew Chief. Only had 4 years Maintenance on the C/D, great bird for Maintenance best assignment in my 26 years. Naturally a long time ago 63-67 seems like yesterday.

This is going to be good. What a fun project working with such a beautiful plane and veterans that know all there is to know.

I’m eagerly anticipating this module. Thanks for the video update.

Good luck, guys! We'll wait!

That cockpit is so fire. Thanks for the update!

WOW WOW WOW. You guys are going above and beyond, thank you! Day 1 purchase for me.

Daym the amount of details going into this is crazy! Gonna have to download this when it's out!

Damn, I'm looking forward to tangoing this with the farmer

Absolutely amazing model and a unique journey and experience. Can't wait to fly one with Dannebrog sporting the roundels of the RDAF

I can not wait - grrrrr - this will be a instabuy for me - i'am extremly thankful for your work and dedication. Thank you all, very much :)

10/10 good work, especially in regards to the flight model

It's a darn good thing I've got the F-4 coming soon to hold me over while I wait for the plane I had hanging in my bedroom from the time I was 10 till I left for College. The F-100 is just an amazing looking aircraft, and it appears you are going to make the best module you can, thank you.

I must admit, seeing you mention the F-100F got my hopes up for the first gen wild weasel model, but a -100D seems more appropriate. Looking forward to seeing this in action!

I hope that blue Troll doll makes it to the module

Great job keep it up! Your commitment will surely grant the best representation of F-100D. Looking forward to more news in 2024.

3D Scanners have gotten SO GOOD very quickly

looking really good, I'm exited to see where this goes!

Man, the F-4 isnt even out yet but you guys already have me looking forward to my next obsession. I can't wait to fly this beauty.

it is starting to take shape, promising!

I don't have enough free time for the DCS modules I already own, but I may well be adding the Super Sabre to my virtual museum. The work to date looks fantastic.

can't wait to go severely supersonic in this bird

Great. Thank You guys for your efforts!

Absolutely amazing!

This is a must have module to be sure! Appreciate your efforts to make this module as detailed as possible

I can’t wait for this thing!

Very cool, very very complex (to me anyway) procedures going in to this project. I'm looking forward to that first 'wheels up' moment in the F-100D. Keep it up team!

AWESOME! He got the snoot

Great!!!!!!!!!!!!

keep up the hard work. This is amazing. Will definitely purchase. if you have some items, like shirts etc that may go towards this project. Put it out there. Willing to buy.

It looks fantastic, can’t wait for further updates.

This is incredible. Looking forward to this so bad. Keep up the good work!

This is so incredible! I can't wait to see how it pans out! Also wow you got a Kiowa ride!! Must be insane!

incredible ! cant wait to see the final result in-game

Great work!

Good job guys, DCS is going to be much better with your module!

Looks very realistic, tremendous job Grinnelli Designs. Just a quick question, at 5:57, roll accelerations are totally different from flight test, I hope it is corrected in the final model.

Sweet!

If it comes out with the Thunderbird skin JUST take my money....

A future take my money ...again !😍😍😍

that music...!

Question, will you guys also be making assets for the F-100? Like for example a KC-135A or KC-97 AI

With this and the Skyraider, my life in DCS will be complete.. (as soon as they push out a Vietnam map!)

Lovely

Amazing work

Awesome. Keep up the good work. 🎉

Funny how with airliners the digital model comes first and machined after.

Awesome work

I have technical question. This 3d scanning... You use it as reference only and model everything from scratch anyway or You optimizing and use scanned model? And same question about textures. ... Hope You will answer to this question cause this was always mystery for me.

@grinnellidesigns

6 ай бұрын

A bit of both, we can use the textures from the scans and photogrammetry. Most of the time it is used for a reference to model from scratch. We have to use caution as the scans are not game ready by any means. The scans also help recreate the model as exact as possible, providing the most authentic experience.

awesome!

Very nice, what is the type of the 3d scanner ?
