Congrats about 3D models! I think as an option in-game models could be enhanced, changed, but I think everybody will agree with me that there is one essential thing from original "Terminal Velocity" that has to be copied exact the same as possible: flight mechanics / controls. That feels so right in "TV".
Not for Velocity
3. Velocity
3 is only a back-to-back port of functional of fury
3 with support of every POD file from both terminal velocity and fury
3 (that includes F!Zone, trials and both disk and cd versions).
The reason for the project is portability (and a groundwork for tvhd) - Terminal Fury as of today can only work on windows systems, and even then there are some problems with windows 8. You, of course, can still play dos version but you going to loose ability to set any resolution, and you also will be stuck with stereo-only sound. Velocity
3 fixes that but running on modern engine, supporting any resolution and 5.1 sound with immediate windows/linux/mac releases.
As for "enhanced" models - that's where TVHD comes in. It's gonna concentrate on reworking most of the graphical assets to bring them to at least 2006~ level of quality, including models, textures, terrain and effects, while trying to keep original gameplay, only making compromises where necessary.
