    Can anyone upgrade the AlphSim C7 Caribou ?

    I know there is a Caribou in the making but just windowed if the AlphaSim Caribou can converted to FSX native ( making sure the old gauges and textures work ) . It would be nice and I'm sure very popular until a new P3D compatible version comes along .

    There is a new Caribou being worked on, but I don't remember who is doing it. I want to say Tanker Guy, but don't hold me to it.

    Last post 6 months ago and it appears that it will be for P3D if it makes it to maturity.
    Updating the Alpha Caribou could be tricky without getting permission from the original author.

    Kieran and me are still at it, designing the C-7a Caribou. Progress is slow though, since we are both part time devs.

    I still work on the cockpit (around 60% done), and Kieran is around 90% done with the externals, I guess. However, I think the long dev time will be worth it :-)


    Cheers,
    Mark

    Thanks for the update. I knew someone here was developing this. Tanker Guy is doing the C-123 Provider.

    Probably not a good idea to ask about things like this since it is still a commercial product. It is what it is until something better comes along.

    Bump.

    How’s the Boo coming along...? Happy to test and good to see the cockpit photos going to good use.

    Hi,

    there's some "mission creep" in the project. Real life interrupted the work on both ends, and additionally I need a new computer because my present one has performance problems running complex 3d and pbr design stuff.
    But it is not forgotten.

    Cheers,
    Mark
