Jack Skieczius Posted March 5, 2010 Author Report Share Posted March 5, 2010 When will it release? And Is this a payware of freeware?Thank you for your interesting in the Q400, and welcome to the X-pilot Forums.The Q400 Will be payware, but reasonable priced. And i will make sure she will be worth whatever we finally sell it as, with regard to other payware planes out there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WombatBoy Posted April 4, 2010 Report Share Posted April 4, 2010 It looks really nice in the sim Everyone talks about these spec maps...is it just adding the ATTR_shiny_rat command to your objects or is there actually another map? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack Skieczius Posted April 5, 2010 Author Report Share Posted April 5, 2010 It looks really nice in the sim Everyone talks about these spec maps...is it just adding the ATTR_shiny_rat command to your objects or is there actually another map?Thanks.I haven't added the spec maps yet, but basically, they use in combination with ATTR_shine_rat 1.0, but uses the alpha channel of the normal map to tell the model what parts are shiner and at what level.more info can be found at the X-plane wiki link here: http://wiki.x-plane.com/Normal_Mapsatm i am useing the normal map to get the anamorphic look on the fuse.

Jack Skieczius Posted April 25, 2010 Author Report Share Posted April 25, 2010 Work has started on the cockpit which i hope to be able to show you some of in a few weeks. Already has you have seen in the past, the main panels are done, but we all know that doesn't make up a good cockpit. We need the walls, the windows, the cabin door, and that coffee dispenser we all love. i also want to get a video of the exterior up for you all so you can see this plane in action, which is the only way to really appreciate her.

Jack Skieczius Posted April 29, 2010 Author Report Share Posted April 29, 2010 Glad you all like it.As for release dates, i wont be putting any date on it. there is still a lot of work to do on her. I wont be posting any dates from here on out, she will be done when she is done.I can almost guarantee it will be done before the end of the world, which happens to be on a Friday, and still 967 days away.

WombatBoy Posted April 29, 2010 Report Share Posted April 29, 2010 Looking really really nice This plane has a weird look to it, and I love it! It just doesn't look like your typical "airliner". It's got these rather wide wings that are quite skinny as well as a fuselage that doesn't look that big in diameter. And the 7 bladed prop to boot Anyway, I really like it Also, you've been saying "we" a lot when referring to what needs to be done. Is there a "we" or is it still just you?

Is there a "we" or is it still just you?Thanks wombat, i am glad you like her. she sure dose look different, which is one of the reason i choose to make her in the first place. Also ,she is one of the fastest turboprops in the world, at an average of 360 kts TAS, she is definitely not slow.Also, its a 6 bladed prop, and the disk is some 13 feet and 6 inches in diameter.And for the "we", i am referring to my whole team, now and in the future. Right now its just me, and my benefactor from Flybe who continues to supply me with loads of images and measurements of this bird down to the millimeter.There are also a few others that help out as well but aren't directly involved.

YYZatcboy Posted May 3, 2010 Report Share Posted May 3, 2010 Jack, Just noticed something. On our Q's, one of the spoilers is black (inboard). I'll ask a maintenance guy what the top of the wing looks like. perhaps one is just black and the rest of the wing is not for some reason.

Jack Skieczius Posted May 3, 2010 Author Report Share Posted May 3, 2010 hey Joe,yeah i forgot, i did notice this from the image posted in the link bellow. the outboard spoiler seems to be the same blue as the tail. easy fix, thanks for the heads up, i may have forgotten otherwise.http://dl.dropbox.com/u/3449179/1655297.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
