Kieran Posted December 4, 2011 Report Posted December 4, 2011 (edited) Last weekend I started work on an Extra 300L. With the summer holidays about to start I though it was a good time to start work on an aircraft, with the intention of finishing (or doing the majority of the work) by the end of the holidays (end of January).The goals:- Accurate flight model (hopefully including some systems such as the smoke system, and a better engine model),- Detailed 3d exterior and interior,- And fun to fly.I'll try and keep this thread up to date, but I will be going away which will limit my internet access.Cheers,Kieran[EDIT] picture removed.

Oliver Posted December 4, 2011 Report Posted December 4, 2011 Nope... and I can't say I completely "hate" them, but I just find them quite annoying. Is there a way to make the pilot visible from outside views, but invisible when in 3d pit mode? Btw, great progress, I'll be keeping my eyes out for this one Quote
Kieran Posted December 4, 2011 Author Report Posted December 4, 2011 Sure can, use the x_Cockpit_INN.obj and x_Cockpit_OUT.objs. Quote
Gjalp Posted December 4, 2011 Report Posted December 4, 2011 Hi Kieran, once again your modelling is pretty impeccable....as for pilot, "either or" really, if the pilot is done "right" then chuck him, or her, in.....I must say that seeing a pilot in the external view is always nice Slainte,AndyNZCH Quote
Kieran Posted December 4, 2011 Author Report Posted December 4, 2011 The way I see it at the moment from the responses is: the pilot has too be done right and show only from the exterior, and possibly be able to disable altogether.Thanks for the feedback.CheersKieran Quote
Kieran Posted December 4, 2011 Author Report Posted December 4, 2011 (edited) More work done on the rear panel, added the Garmin stuff (GPS and transponder).[EDIT] picture removed, new ones coming soon. Edited March 9, 2012 by Kieran Quote
namaui Posted December 4, 2011 Report Posted December 4, 2011 I can agree that an exterior-view pilot is nice, but I'm not a fan of having to share the cockpit with one. Quote
Hueyman Posted December 9, 2011 Report Posted December 9, 2011 Wow 15 years old ?! Man I'm 17 and just started learning Blender, what will you do when 25 ? Lol great progress. Quote
flyinhawaiian Posted December 10, 2011 Report Posted December 10, 2011 Extra 300LP (filmed by me) Quote
Kieran Posted April 20, 2012 Author Report Posted April 20, 2012 Work on the Extra 300L is progressing. I am spending too much time flying it in X-Plane, it is just too much fun: 350 degree/second roll rate. 2 Quote
Pirx Posted April 28, 2012 Report Posted April 28, 2012 You are making a great job with this plane. We are enjoying this process because it looks like very, very nice, so thanks a lot. Quote
