Dino Cattaneo

[Boanerges]

Salve. su internet ho visto i progetti di dino cattaneo e volevo sapere cosa ne pensate. Sono simulativi? non intendo l'avionica.

[Aviators]

provati. e sono molto soddisfatto. dino cattaneo è un ingegnere aerospaziale (se non erro) e ha lavorato su certi modelli reali. dinamiche di volo eccellenti. unica pecca è la grafica e sviluppa solo per passione e a tempo libero ( ps sviluppa solo su fsx/p3d) è stato chiaro.

[Boanerges]

Grazie delle risposte in effetti non pensavo che su fsx o p3d si potesse essere realistici in termini di modello di volo, per quanto riguarada la grafica a me non dispiace affatto. L'F35 che a fatto lui secondo te e migliore di quello originale?, palro di p3d.

l'f35 di default è sempre un suo lavoro ( però una versione vecchia) ti conviene scaricare l'ultima versione

Non sono espertissimo ma ho sempre sentito e letto ottimi commenti sul lavoro di Dino Cattaneo.

Il -326 è a dir poco eccezionale! Ci sto girando (virtualmente) l'Italia!

è un mito sto ragazzo. Più tardi postero alcune sue news

Plans for the future and answers to some FAQs



The release of the Aermacchi MB.326 has been a great success so far. We have exceeded 2000 downloads in just few days, and I believe it is a great result (especially if you consider that this plane is surely not as popular as a Tomcat!). The perceived quality level seems very good, too.
So, people are starting to ask me what are my plans for the future... and here is what it is on my mind at the moment.

F-14D Update - First thing being worked on in an update to the F-14D. Several minor fixes / improvements, nothing too big. This could be out in a couple of weeks.

S-3B Update - Same thing for the S-3... I have plans to fix some minor defects in the current release. And hopefully I will find the time to release the AI Tanker model.

F-35ABC Update - Now, this would be, in my intentions, a bigger update which would bring the simulated version closer to the real deal thanks to the information released to the public in the meantime. This may well be a two-step update.

New projects being worked on:

Aermacchi MB.339: This would be a logical extension of the MB.326... but I've been working so much on the 326 that I'd need a break.

Eurofighter Typhoon: On hold... I do not have time to work on this at the moment. I'll keep you posted.

And now some FAQs:

Q - Are you interested in making an Hawkeye? And a F-16 Fighting Falcon? Or why not a Sepecat Jaguar/AMX/enter your favourite aircraft here)?

A - I have carefully evaluated several proposals, and my current projects will keep me busy for at least a full year. Sorry. Then... my two cents: the Viper is the elephant in the flight simulation room. We badly need a good one for FSX/P3D, but I do not have time for this.

Q - Why aren't you working on models for DCS / XPlane / FlightGear or other simulators?

A - Because I do not have the time.

Q - ...So could I export your models and use into another simulator?

A - NO. While the models are my creations, they are sometimes based on professional meshes (under paid-for licence...this is one of the ways in which I spend the money you donate) or contributions from other authors. Exporting/reverse engineering the models by a third party would be a licence and copyright infringement.

Q - Then... why do not you do this for a living?

A - Because it is just a hobby... and I am a relatively well paid professional engineer. If I had to quit my job for flight simulations that would mean a significant cut for my incomes.
