Hi everyone. As Team Fusion steadily gets moving on our next update we would really appreciate those of you with some skill in the following areas, who feel you could be part of Team Fusion, if you would consider offering your services as part of next and future updates.
As you may be aware Team Fusion's next update will be a completely new Theatre and we are already hard at work creating new aircraft and variants of existing aircraft. However, we really want to build some cockpits for existing and future aircraft and this, for our small team, is a huge undertaking. Not only is this required but also our modellers are building ship variants, new buildings and other environmental features which is incredibly time consuming. So Team Fusion are currently recruiting 3D modellers who can help to ease the workload for our Team by undertaking some of these tasks. Whether you are able to model buildings, vehicles, artillery, tanks, small static objects, aircraft, shipping, cockpits, dials.....all of this is of use to our team of enthusiasts. If you have some skill and ability using primarily 3D Studio Max (but Blender, Cinema 4D, Lighwave, etc, etc should give you fundamentals) then please get in touch and offer your services.
We are already able to import and export models as can be seen here and this knowledge can be shared if you are accepted into Team Fusion

Team Fusion is built from a group of small dedicated aviation Simulation enthusiasts who really do want to make the best flight sim available, for free, to the community using the superb Cliffs of Dover engine, which after months of work by Team Fusion is now well on the way to being the Flight Sim everyone expected it to be on release.
So, Team Fusion is on the lookout for talent in our community. All Team Fusion members are made up of Flight Sim enthusiasts just like you. We do this as a hobby, as a passion and we do it to offer back and give something to those who don't have this ability but really want the very best flight sim available.

Bit of a different update but it's the best way for us to attract new blood into Team Fusion, so here goes (and info. regarding a livestream at the bottom of the message too
).Over the past few years we have made considerable inroads in our understanding of the game files, but we are a small team and to make timely progress on our Mods for Cliffs of Dover, and particularly so as to speed up releases we really could do with expanding our team.
1. Coders: We need C# coders. People who are proficient in C# & who can take already known information & write the software utilities needed to perform the many & various file manipulations required to progress quickly. Manipulating the game files using a software interface for ease of further development.
2. External model and Cockpit model enablers - Creating new aircraft for CoD is not just a matter of building 3D models, these files require both writing and linking C# and text files with the 3D files to bring them into the game. Our existing members have already determined methods and means for this work. What we need now are more people who can write the C# files which are crucial. This person does not need to be a 3D artist, and would not be actually building any 3D objects, but they should be competent in opening, viewing and understanding 3D files using the relevant software, while communicating with the original 3D artist. Getting a new cockpit/external in-game requires the coordinated work of both a coder person & the artist, both needing to be competent in 3D Max, and one competent in writing C# files.
-------------------------
As you know from the outset, we are all just volunteers spending ridiculous amounts of our spare time to try and create reams of free content for the wider flight-sim community to enjoy.
The above work is to be honest, going to be challenging but ultimately a huge amount of people will be grateful for your dedication and input.
In addition, I'd ask for people who have time to dedicate & who will follow through on the work needed. The work is time-consuming & tedious & we don't want anyone who's cannot commit to it. We appreciate everyone has real lives (honestly some of us already in Team Fusion heard rumour we had them too!) but as we push for the release of v5.00 this-year we need the help of our community to progress at a greater pace and also move on the process after v5.00 is released towards v6.00 (and onwards).
Please understand you wont be just dropped in at the deep-end, we already have members who are very skilled and knowledgeable in what we are requesting....but they only have so much spare time in which to devote to the mod work and so under their guidance and instruction we'll teach you the necessary methodology to work through the development process.
If you have a selection of the following;
Enthusiasm, an analytical mind, persistence, programming skills, computer & software literacy and one or both of the assets listed in section 1 and 2 above, please get in touch by email to:
teamfusion2013@hotmail.com
Thanks for any help you can offer....but please, this could involve spending hours of your free time each week digging deeper and deeper into the rabbit hole that we call Cliffs of Dover. If you don't think you can realistically invest free time into the project, please understand we appreciate your interest, but Team Fusion exists currently for 'those that do' rather than 'those that view'.
